Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is finally heading to streaming. Tim Burton's legacy sequel will make its streaming debut on Max on December 6. Then, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will make its HBO linear debut at 6:10 p.m. ET on December 7.

After an expected death, the Deetz family returns to Winter River for the funeral. Still haunted by Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton), Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) begrudgingly returns home with her estranged teenage daughter Astrid (Jenna Ortega). In the attic, Astrid discovers a model of the town and accidentally gets pulled into the Afterlife. To save her, Lydia will have to face her fears and elicit help from Betelgeuse, the ghoulish demon who tried to marry her when she was a teen.

Death Stranding 2: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more
Sam Bridges walks on a ridge in front of the moon.

There were plenty of hints along the way, and even some leaks by the leading man himself, but it was only made official at the Game Awards 2022 that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is an upcoming PS5 game. Coming from the same influential and creative mind as the original, as well as the Metal Gear franchise before it, Hideo Kojima introduced the game himself. Of course, nothing about Kojima's games are straight forward, and what was revealed about Death Stranding 2 probably raised more questions than it answered.

We're strapping on our boots, connecting to our BBs, and are ready to make the trek to find out everything there is about Death Stranding 2.

Don't forget to get a complete look at all the upcoming video games, upcoming Xbox Series X games, and upcoming PC games to plan out your 2025.

November's PlayStation Plus lineup is packed with games this month, both in terms of quality and quantity. However, with Grand Theft Auto 6 on the horizon (hopefully sometime next year), arguably the biggest addition is Grand Theft Auto 5, which is back on the subscription service after leaving earlier this year.

There's not much to say about GTA 5 that hasn't already been said. It's one of the bestselling games of all time and still holds up more than 10 years after release. It's likely you already own it on some platform, but if you somehow don't or just want to play it on the PlayStation 5 or 4, you can play it for free with an Extra or Premium subscription.
