If you’re one of the people missing out on the premier fighting experience on the Nintendo Switch, there’s a hot deal going on that you can take advantage of. Across various retailers, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available at the discounted price of $50.

There are expected improvements that come with being the fifth entry in a series of games, but Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a bit more than the next title in a long-running franchise. Ultimate is a love letter to previous Smash Bros. games and a celebration of the many Nintendo and non-Nintendo franchises represented within it. As stated in our Super Smash Bros. Ultimate review, where it earned four and a half stars out of five, it’s an ode to gaming that lives up to its name.

There are many reasons why Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has claimed the crown as the fastest-selling Nintendo game ever. The fighter includes 74 playable fighters with DLC still on the way, more than 100 stages with various modifications, and more than 800 tracks from all of the franchises that each character represents. You can finally settle the grudge match between Mario and Sonic with Shadow Moses Island from Metal Gear Solid as a neutral territory with the battle music from Final Fantasy VII setting the tone.

In addition to a collection of different competitive Smash modes like Squad Smash, Special Smash, and Tourney, players can dive into the single-player adventure mode in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate called World of Light. Starting out as Kirby, the only survivor of an attack that results in spirits taking over all of the other characters, players explore a large map, take on tough opponents, and collect primary and support spirits. The many spirits that can be collected extend the celebration of gaming outside of the playable fighters by including a plethora of characters like the Lon’qu from Fire Emblem, Fiora from Xenoblade Chronicles, or even Samus’ gunship from Metroid.

If you’re ready to get started, we’ve got a robust guide on everything you need to know about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate along with a beginner’s guide so you can jump into the battle with confidence.

AMD is quietly building a frame generation mode that beats Nvidia at its own game
AMD's next frame generation trick might make your GPU pump out seven extra frames for free.
AMD RX 7800

AMD has been hinting at Multi-Frame Generation for its Radeon cards for a while now, and it looks like the company is further along than it has let on. Preliminary support quietly showed up in the ADLX FidelityFX SDK back in April with the FSR Redstone update, letting users pick a frame generation ratio for the best mix of performance and image quality.

Since then, AMD has shipped several big driver updates, including FSR 4.1.1. As reported by Wccftech, a user on the Chiphell forums used a tool called RadeonTuner to dig through the Adrenalin 26.6.2 WHQL drivers and found options AMD has not talked about publicly. RadeonTuner is a cleaner, more user-friendly take on the Adrenalin software, and it can surface features that live inside the driver but never appear in the official app.

I wouldn’t have recommended this Nintendo Switch 2 accessory before, but this deal changes everything
Nintendo Switch 2

Buying a Nintendo Switch 2 isn't exactly cheap these days, especially after Nintendo's recent US price adjustments. That's why it's refreshing to see one of the console's accessories getting an unexpectedly deep discount.

If you've ignored the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera because it seemed overpriced, now might be the perfect time to take another look. GameStop has slashed the accessory to just $10, a huge drop from its regular $55 asking price. That's roughly 82% off, making it one of the best Switch 2 deals we've seen in a while. To put that into perspective, the camera now costs less than many Switch 2 carrying cases or screen protectors. At this price, it's much easier to take a chance on an accessory you may have skipped at launch.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc
Santa Monica Studio quietly confirmed the upcoming adventure won't be download-only.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release
