Michael Jackson hasn’t had a video game since the 1989. As such, Ubisoft is going all out for the release of Michael Jackson: The Experience on Nov. 23. Those who pre-order a copy of the Wii game will receive a free white sequined glove with their dance game.  The single white glove was a staple of Jackson’s wardrobe for many years. If you remember his brimmed hats, short pants, and circus conductor shirts, chances are you’ve seen the glove.

“We worked with the estate and created a special edition glove that’s going to go into the day-one quantities of Michael Jackson: The Experience on the Wii. If you go to the store and look for this specially marked package, which is going to be the same price as the regular edition, you’ll be able to get this limited edition glove to bring home. It’s something that’s never been available before, and we see it as an opportunity to have fun with the glove,” Ubisoft’s Tony Key, SVP sales and marketing, told IndustryGamers in an interview.

Fortunately, you won’t have to pay any more to get the glove either. Michael Jackson: The Experience on Wii will retail for the standard $50. There is no word yet on whether the upcoming, delayed PS3 and Xbox versions of the game will have this promotion. Perhaps they’ll give out red triangle coats when the Thriller movie comes out.

Is NBA 2K26 cross-platform?

Football fans have the Madden games, baseball fans have MLB The Show, and basketball fans wait every year for the new NBA 2K entry. This year, we have NBA 2K26 with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Angel Reese, and Carmelo Anthony each appearing as the cover athlete on the various editions of the game. All the classic modes are back, including MyCAREER, MyTeam, MyNBA, The W, and more, but the big question is if you can play online with friends on other platforms like you can with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, or is it limited like Madden NFL 26? Before you rush the hoop and grab NBA 2K26, I'm calling a timeout to fill you in on all the cross-platform details.

After last week hit us with an amazing lineup of PlayStation Plus Essential games, we have a small but agonizing wait to see what the next batch of Extra and Premium games will be for July. However, I know you haven't played every game in the catalogue yet, and I was able to hand-pick three games that seem like surefire hits for this weekend. One is an easy, major release that was just added this week as a surprise bonus game, but the other two are hidden gems that you might be craving right about now. Let's dive into the games so you have a good excuse to stay inside this weekend.

We're officially in the throes of summer and, depending on where you live, suffering through the incredible heat. While I always think it's good to get out and enjoy the summer, there's a limit on how much sun we can take and need to head inside to relax with some cool Game Pass games. I'm especially excited for this weekend because there's one game here that not only screams summer, but also tickles that nostalgic part of my brain. I think even newcomers will love that pick, but I always throw in two other options just in case you're looking for something a bit different. Make sure you check out my last pick because I know you've never heard of it, and it might just be your weekend obsession.
