By Adam Rosenberg Published December 7, 2014

UPDATE: It’s official. Street Fighter V is coming exclusively to PlayStation 4 and “PC,” as the previously leaked and now official trailer above confirms. Sony’s Adam Boyes noted on stage at PlayStation Experience that PS4 is the only console that SF5 “will ever appear on.”

The PSX keynote also brought the news that Ultra Street Fighter IV is coming to PlayStation 4.

ORIGINAL POST: Street Fighter V is coming, and it’s exclusive to PlayStation 4 and unannounced PC platforms (probably just Windows, given the Windows-only compatibility of Street Fighter IV). Probably. The news comes from what appears to be a leaked trailer that hypes the upcoming release. There’s no release window or anything else at this time.

The trailer, which you can view right here (for now, until it’s pulled), forgoes any looks at gameplay in favor of an inspirational short (that’s the intent, anyway) that talks about harnessing creative energy and pushing past personal barriers, all with Street Fighter-themed imagery playing behind it. The trailer ends with a logo (above) and onscreen text that notes the platform exclusivity.

Capcom, publisher of the Street Fighter series, has yet to publicly address the apparent leak. The official Street Fighter Twitter feed did note series executive producer Yoshinori Ono will be in attendance at the weekend’s PlayStation Experience event. Between that and the onslaught of reveals planned for Geoff Keighley’s Game Awards on December 5, it’s likely that the trailer will be officially available sooner rather than later.

Someone paid $200 for a mystery Xbox controller and may have gotten the Elite Series 3

The OfferUp find appears to be an unreleased Microsoft prototype, and it reveals a tiny screen we hadn’t seen before

Transportation, Vehicle, Electrical Device

The next Xbox Elite controller may have turned up in about the least official way imaginable. Reddit user ssuberlex, in a now deleted post, says they paid $200 on OfferUp for a mystery Xbox controller that looks like an unreleased Microsoft prototype.

Photos show a small built-in screen alongside hardware that resembles the Xbox Elite Series 3 design previously exposed through Brazilian regulatory material. The controller is also labeled as not for sale and carries placeholder regulatory information, giving the prototype explanation considerably more weight.

Sony’s Wolverine PS5 has literal claw marks ripped through its shell

Logan has left his mark on Sony's special-edition PS5

Marvel's Wolverine PS5 Featured

Limited-edition consoles usually settle for a new paint job with a new logo slapped on. But Sony is giving a little extra attention to detail to one of Marvel's most beloved characters. The company has revealed its Marvel’s Wolverine limited-edition PS5 collection, headlined by a Battle Yellow PS5 Digital Edition covered in enormous claw marks that appear to tear through its outer shell and expose what lies underneath.

A matching DualSense gets the same yellow-and-black treatment, complete with scratches and slashes inspired by Logan’s claws. The whole collection arrives September 15 alongside Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine, with preorders opening August 19.

The U.S. needs air traffic controllers, and it’s turning to gamers for help

Secretary Sean Duffy says gamer recruitment is helping the FAA reach its hiring goals.

Airport, Aircraft, Airplane

Perhaps all those hours spent playing Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, or StarCraft II could finally prove useful outside your gaming setup. The U.S. Department of Transportation has been recruiting gamers to become air traffic controllers, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the unusual approach is already helping the Federal Aviation Administration make progress toward its hiring target.
