The Tahoe color (it's blue) of the AKRacing California Gaming Chair.

There’s a weird double deal going on right now for the AKRacing California Gaming Chair in its Tahoe (a fancy way of saying “blue” in this case) coloration. If you’re an Amazon Prime member — you should seriously consider getting the Amazon Prime free trial for Prime Day — you can get it for $191 right now. What to compare that price to, however, is somewhat tricky. The sales page says the $191 price is 21% off of $242, but we’re not quite sure who would be paying that considering the non-Prime price is $413. It’s part of the early morning Prime Day deals, which just started a few hours ago. You can consider yourself as having saved $222 off of this otherwise expensive gaming chair if you tap the button below and order now.

Why you should buy the AKRacing California Gaming Chair

The AKRacing California Gaming Chair is alternate version of one of the best gaming chairs, the AKRacing Core, but with a tiny difference. This chair is made for people up to 5’6″. That makes it great for gamers that aren’t as tall and big as we expect from the average.

Despite its being geared towards smaller gamers, it still has a strong metal frame and soft, plush polyurethane padding. Its upholstery is of the same tier as what is used by car manufacturers and it uses automotive grade PU leather in its construction. The AKRacing chair includes a lumbar support pillow and an adjustable head rest pillow, making it able to go toe to toe with the best ergonomic office chairs.

To remind you, you can get the AKRacing California Gaming Chair in its blue, Tahoe coloration for just $191 right now. That’s $222 off of the typical $413. But you can only get this deal if you’re an Amazon Prime member, so be sure to get that free trial if it is available for you. If its too much of a hassle or you’re too big for this chair, be sure to check out our collections of Prime Day gaming chair deals and Prime Day office chair deals for more options.

Epic MegaJam 2026

Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.

Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”

It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.

Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.

Phantom Blade Zero makes me think Sony might have a point about going all digital
Physical games still matter, but when the disc isn't a complete copy of the game, the argument for keeping it becomes harder to make.

I'm a big supporter of physical games. There's something satisfying about owning a disc, lending it to a friend, or grabbing a bargain without waiting for a digital storefront to approve the price. But Phantom Blade Zero has me questioning one of the biggest arguments in the physical-versus-digital debate. The game's digital version launches on October 29, 2026, while its physical PS5 editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions, won't arrive until 2027.

And there's another wrinkle: the digital version reportedly needs up to 134GB of storage, raising questions about how much of the game can actually fit on a standard Blu-ray disc. A standard PS5 Ultra HD Blu-ray disc maxes out at 100GB, so Phantom Blade Zero may need to ship across multiple discs or require players to download additional data to finish installing it. Either way, the idea of popping in a disc and having the complete game ready to play gets a little murkier.
