Here’s our latest look at X-Men: Days of Future Past, which hits theaters on May 23. Original X-Men director Bryan Singer returns to tell a story of future world mutants jumping back through time to work with their past selves in an effort to save the world. The movie brings together key cast members from the trilogy that Singer set in motion as well as those from X-Men: First Class, director Matthew Vaughn’s 2011 prequel.

This new Days of Future Past trailer jumps between the two time periods, highlighting a series of familiar faces and new ones pulled from the Marvel-verse. Fox isn’t allowed to draw freely from the comic label’s archives, but the studio has free run over Marvel’s mutants and mutant stories. Fans of the printed-and-inked word will see a lot of nods in this trailer’s rapid flash of images, including a handful of brief looks at Bolivar Trask’s (Peter Dinklage) mutant-hunting Sentinel robots.

Do you know how long it takes to beat your favorite video games? You can now put your skills to the test with How Long To Beat: The Game, a free browser game that's worth checking out.

The project, launched in late April, comes from video game website How Long To Beat, which tracks the runtime of video games using player-submitted data. You can use the site to see how long it takes to complete the main story of a game or even how much time it'll take to go for 100% completion. How Long To Beat has turned that feature into a creative game that's surprisingly fun.

GTA 6: release date speculation, trailer, gameplay, and more

Lucia and her partner rob a store in GTA 6.

Believe it or not, it has been over a decade since the last GTA game. While tons of people are still dumping hundreds of hours into GTA Online, everyone has been (not so) patiently waiting for Rockstar to finally confirm that a new entry is in the works. Despite many leaks and rumors, the team held strong until late 2023. Now that the game is finally confirmed, we have a lot more solid ground to cover in terms of what Grand Theft Auto 6 will be. This is going to be the biggest game of the generation, if not all time, so let's hotwire a car and pull off a heist to get all the information about GTA 6 there is.
GTA 6 release date speculation

Along with the official announcement trailer for GTA 6, we got a release window for the game. While it is a little disappointing, we won't be exploring the next open-world phenomenon until sometime in 2025.

Is Rust cross-platform?

Rust is one of the unique gaming experiences out there -- you wake up naked on a beach, scavenge for tools, build a home for yourself and your friends, and then watch that base be pummeled by rockets as another group of players destroys everything you've worked so hard for. One of the most popular survival games on the market, Rust is a brutal game, and playing it with friends makes the ups and downs of a server lifecycle bearable.

If you're looking to jump onto a Rust server with a buddy, you'll want to come prepared. Here's what you need to know about crossplay and Rust.
Is Rust cross-platform?
Rust is available on most major gaming platforms, but it isn't entirely cross-platform. Players on consoles -- PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One -- are able to play with each other, but PC players are in a completely separate world.
