Streaming services keep raising prices . At this point, if you subscribe to all the major services out there, you're basically paying the same price as cable those antiquated local monopolies that streaming was supposed to save us from. But streaming still has one big advantage over the old ways: no contracts. That means you can grab a good streaming deal and then cancel without penalty. Our advice is to sign up for a service when you see a good streaming deal (or the latest season of, say, Doctor Who , Severance , Andor and/or The Last of Us begins). Then, when the deal ends or you've binged whatever it is you want to watch, cancel as needed. But streaming deals don't come around all that often and, when they do, it's easy to miss them thanks to...everything. So we're keeping eyes out for the best streaming deals out there and we update this guide often so check it out the next time you have a hankering to watch something new . Best streaming deals True streaming deals can be hard to come by. Most often, theyll pop up during the Black Friday shopping period. On occasion, well see them sparingly throughout the year and they usually take the form of a discounted monthly or annual rate for a limited period of time. Also, true streaming deals are typically on the ad-supported versions of a service, but once in a while youll find a unicorn of a deal on a tier that has ad-free viewing. If youre able to wait for a deal before subscribing to a streaming service, we recommend doing so. Youll save money upfront and in the long run, and you also have the option to cancel your subscription before the price goes back up to the normal rate. Maybe you find you like the service so much that youre fine paying full price for it thats the ideal situation. But if youre not compelled to keep that app on rotation in your smart TV, most streaming services make it easy for you to cancel at any time. With that said, these are the best streaming deals you can snag right now. ESPN+ (three months) for $15 (58 percent off): Sports fans can subscribe to ESPN+ for 58 percent off through June 20. A subscription lets you stream live sports, rewind and replay as much as you wish and watch on up to three devices simultaneously. You also get access to exclusive programming, series and live events that are not broadcast on regular ESPN networks. Starz (six months) for $18 ($28 off): Starz's latest offer gives you six months of access for only $18, which shakes out to just $3 per month. This represents a 66-percent discount off the standard annual plan. This gives you access to all Starz content, including originals like Power Book III: Raising Kanan and movies like Fast X . If you'd prefer less of a commitment, you can get three months of access for only $12. Spotify Premium Individual (one month) for $0 ($12 off): This is our favorite music streaming service for podcasts and social features. Right now, users who have not signed up for Spotify's Premium service before are eligible to get one month for free. The Premium Individual plan lets you listen ad-free and skip songs at will. You can also organize your listening queue and download content for offline listening. Just be aware, your subscription will auto-renew at the end of the trial period. So if you don't want to be on the hook for the $12 monthly fee, set a reminder to cancel and go back to the free version. Sling Orange for $23/month for the first month (50 percent off): New customers can get Sling Orange or Sling Blue for half off the usual price for the first month, bringing the final prices to $23/month and $25.50/month, respectively. Orange is likely best for sports fans, with eight exclusive sports and family channels, while Blue includes 19 exclusive news and entertainment channels. You can get both Orange and Blue access also for half off for one month, or $33 total. YouTube TV (two months) for $120 ($46 off) : You can get two months of our favorite live TV streaming service for $60 per month which works out to $46 less than paying the full $83 each month. And right now, the service is free for the first 21 days. That should give you a decent chunk of time to see if the service is right for you. The discount and trial are only open to new subscribers to YouTube TVs base plan, which includes access to over 100 channels, unlimited DVR space and six household accounts with the ability to stream on three devices at once. The deal ends July 31. Fubo Pro for $65/month for the first month ($20 off): Fubo has introductory discounts on most of its packages, and the Pro package is the least expensive plan currently listed. It offers access to 224 channels, unlimited cloud DVR and up to 10 simultaneous streams. It even includes regional sports content from the NHL, MLB and NBA. Sling TV + MLB.TV for $30 off: New subscribers can get $30 off their first month of Sling TV when they sign up and add MLB.TV to their package. The offer applies to Sling Orange, Sling Blue and Sling Orange & Blue, and MLB.TV gives you access to MLB Network along with access to all out-of-market games during the regular season. This offer runs through May 31. Max student discount subscribe for $5/month (50 percent off): Max offers their ad-supported tier to students for half off the usual rate. Youll just have to verify that youre a student through Unidays , and make note that this offer is only good for up to 12 months of service. Hulu student discount subscribe for $2/month (75 percent off): Those with a valid student ID can get Hulus ad-supported tier for 75 percent off the typical rate. Theyll keep the same sale price for as long as theyre a student as well. Spotify student discount Premium + Hulu with ads for $6/month (72 percent off): Spotifys student offer continues to be one of the best around, giving you access to the Premium tier of the music streamer and Hulus ad-supported plan for only $6 monthly. Purchased separately, youd pay $22 per month for both of the services. Plus, the first month is free when you sign up. NBA League Pass student discount one year for $120 (40 percent off) : Students can get one year of League Pass for only $10 per month, which includes access to NBA TV and the ability to watch classic and archive games on-demand. On the NBA League Pass website, look for the student discount banner at the top and follow the instructions to verify your student status. Peacock first responders discount one year for $48 (50 percent off) : Medical professionals and first responders can save 50 percent each year of Peacock. The deal requires annual verification and is open to those who work for either private or public institutions. Peacock has some great stuff to watch, including Poker Face and Killing It and more . Streaming bundle discounts Theres more consolidation happening now than ever before in the streaming space, and that means there are more streaming bundle options. These bundles offer you access to more content with one subscription price, but those prices are typically higher than paying for a single service by itself (obviously). It may be tempting to just get the bundle, but if only one of those services in the bundle speaks to you, youll spend less overall by just paying for the single service. Speaking of a deep love for a single streaming service: if all of your favorite shows are on Peacock or the latest releases on Max consistently bring you joy, consider paying for one year upfront. Subscribing with an annual plan usually saves you money in the long term over paying on a monthly basis. Unfortunately, not all streaming services (looking at you, Netflix) have an annual subscription option. Here are some of the best streaming bundles you can get right now. Disney+, Hulu, Max bundle with ads for $17/month : Ad-supported Max is included here, along with full, ad-supported access to Disney+ and Hulu. Youll save 43 percent with this bundle, as opposed to paying for all three services individually. Disney+ and Hulu Bundle Premium for $20/month : Disney and Hulu offer a few different bundles, which you can view in the drop-down lists under Choose Your Plan. This bundle removes the ads from both Disney+ and Hulu (with the exception of select live and linear content) and allows you to download content for offline viewing. Youll save 42 percent with this bundle, as opposed to paying for both ad-free tiers individually. Paramount+ with Showtime for $13/month or $120/year : This includes everything in Paramount+s Essential plan, except the ads, and also provides access to Showtime content, live CBS streams and download features. Sling TV + Max starting at $53/month: Sling TV and Max have partnered on a discount that gives new subscribers 50 percent off their first month of Sling TV, plus $5 off monthly when you subscribe to the Sling TV + Max bundle. The standard price for the Sling Blue + Max duo is roughly $58/month, so you'll get a monthly discount of $5 off that. In addition, for the first month only, you'll get half off the price of the bundle. The promotion also applies to the Sling Orange & Blue + Max package, which has a standard price of $73/month. Hulu + Live TV with Disney+ and ESPN+ for $96/month: This streaming bundle amalgamation is a bit confusing but it does offer a lot: you get live TV streaming via Hulus service plus access to the following VOD services: Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+. Out of those three, only ESPN+ will have ads. Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ Bundle Basic for $17/month : You get full access to Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ content with this package, albeit with ads across the board. This bundle price is 46 percent off the total price of all three separate subscriptions. Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ Bundle Premium for $27/month : Similarly to the Duo bundles, the Premium version of the Trio removes ads from most content in Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+, and you can download content for offline viewing. This price represents a 43-percent savings when compared to paying for all three ad-free tiers separately.

The best budget Android phone for 2025
You dont need to spend a fortune to get a good phone these days. The best budget Android phones offer impressive performance, long battery life and capable phone cameras all at a price that wont drain your wallet. Whether you're looking for a reliable everyday device, a backup phone or something for a younger family member, there's a growing list of budget smartphones that deliver solid function without the high cost of flagship phones. From Samsung phones with slick designs to models packed with smart AI features for improved performance and photos, Androids budget lineup is better than ever. Some offer surprisingly decent Wi-Fi connectivity, while others aim to have the best camera in their price range. Whatever your needs, theres a wallet-friendly Android option that doesnt compromise where it counts. Table of contents Best budget Android phones for 2025 How cheap should you go for an Android phone? What to look for in a cheap phone Android phone FAQs Best budget Android phones for 2025 How cheap should you go for an Android phone? We tend to define a budget smartphone as costing between $150 and $350. Any lower and the device runs the risk of suffering from too many compromises in function, and above that, you cross over to pricier midrange handsets (if you're open to spending more, we shouted out a couple of our favorite flagship phones at the very end of this guide). But for those with a little wiggle room, there are some things to consider. For example, a child may be better off with a cheaper device, especially if its intended mainly for emergencies, WiFi browsing or texting parents (and not social media). On the higher end of this price spectrum, sub-$350 Samsung phones and other Android devices have come a long way thanks to improved performance, better phone cameras with low-light capabilities, fast charging, and nicer displays like AMOLED panels. This makes them a viable alternative to, say, a flagship handset with a premium design, even if you have the flexibility to spend more. What to look for in a cheap Android phone When it comes to cheap phones, you get what you pay for. Most smartphones in this price range are made out of plastic, though the fit and finish of a specific model can vary a lot based on price. A bright screen is also important. Typically youll get LCD panels with a 60Hz or 90Hz refresh rate, but some phones may have OLED or AMOLED screens with increased color saturation. Long battery life is critical as well, so we tend to favor devices with larger power cells of around 5,000 mAh. In this price range, performance can vary a lot, so look for devices with at least 8GB of RAM and processors that can deliver stutter-free visuals. Its also important to consider support length: as periodic security updates and lengthy software support can extend the longevity of your device, which will save you money in the long run. Android phone FAQs What's the price difference for a cheap Android vs a cheap iPhone? iPhones tend to be more expensive compared to Android phones even the cheapest iPhone, the iPhone SE, which starts from $429, is a harder pill to swallow compared to a cheap Android phone. In contrast, you can get your hands on a cheap Android device for as low as $100.

Donald Trump will delay a looming TikTok ban for a third time
President Donald Trump will, once again, give TikTok a temporary reprieve as it faces another deadline to sell itself or face a ban in the United States. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Tuesday that Trump will sign another executive order to extend the deadline. The latest extension this time for 90 days is now the third time Trump has punted on a looming TikTok ban since he took office in January . As he has said many times, President Trump does not want TikTok to go dark, Leavitt said in a statement reported by CNN . This extension will last 90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure. US officials are presumably still negotiating terms of a potential deal that would allow TikTok to remain operational in the United States, though there's been little news on that front since the last extension in April. A number of potential buyers are interested in acquiring TikTok's US business, but officials in China would need to sign off on any agreement. In April, several reports suggested that a deal would likely involve the company's existing US investors rolling over their stakes into a new entity. Those talks were derailed by Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports.

X sues New York over hate speech disclosure law
Social media company X has filed a lawsuit against the state of New York over a law governing hate speech. The social network's Global Government Affairs account posted about the suit, claiming the law's required disclosures infringe on First Amendment protections for free speech. The Stop Hiding Hate Act, which is slated to take effect this week, would require social media companies to report on how they define and moderate content including hate speech, misinformation, disinformation, harassment and foreign political influence. X sued California in 2023 about a similar state-level law regarding content moderation. A panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals put a hold on the lower court's initial ruling in favor of California. While the law did endure, a settlement between the state and the company at the start of 2025 led to the elimination of the provisions that X claimed were unconstitutional.

Xbox's AMD partnership sheds light on the future of the division's ecosystem
Microsoft has no plans to get out of the console business anytime soon. The company has been reiterating for a while that it's going to make at least one more generation of Xbox consoles. It's now been confirmed that AMD will power the upcoming hardware, as it did with the Xbox Series X/S . Xbox president Sarah Bond made the announcement in a short video . Under the multi-year partnership, Xbox and AMD are advancing the state of art in gaming silicon to deliver the next generation of graphics innovation; to unlock a deeper level of visual quality; and immersive gameplay and player experiences enhanced with the power of AI, all while maintaining compatibility with your existing library of Xbox games, Bond said. A leaked presentation from May 2022 (which was part of the massive Xbox leak the following year) indicated that Microsoft had yet to make a decision about the processor and GPU for the next Xbox console(s), suggesting in one slide that it planned to strike an agreement with AMD to supply those and in another that it yet had to make an Arm64 decision. As we now know, the company is doubling down with AMD. Microsoft On the surface, the AMD agreement is the main news coming out of Bond's announcement. But, if you read between the lines, there are lots of other interesting details to tease out from what she said in the short video. For one thing, the AI aspect of Bond's carefully crafted statement lines up with details in the leak (and other developments ) about Microsoft embracing artificial intelligence and machine learning in future Xbox games, including for things like AI agents. So the company is likely to keep going down that path. Bond said that Microsoft and AMD will co-engineer silicon across a portfolio of devices including our next-generation Xbox consoles, in your living room and in your hands, implying that the company is planning more handhelds beyond the Xbox-branded ROG devices that are coming later this year. Those are also powered by AMD. In addition, Bond said the next-gen of Xbox devices will maintain compatibility with your existing library of Xbox games. Xbox has made a commitment to backward compatibility, but that's still welcome to hear. Those are fairly interesting nuggets, no doubt, but there were two other things Bond said that I think are starting to shed more light on the future of the Xbox ecosystem. First, she said that her team is uilding you a gaming platform thats always with you, so you can play the games you want across devices anywhere you want, delivering you an Xbox experience not locked to a single store or tied to one device. That single store phrasing is a chin stroker, especially in light of the new user interface Xbox is making for the ROG handhelds. The Windows-powered devices won't only allow users to play games from the Xbox PC app, Xbox consoles via remote play and the cloud. They'll integrate games from other PC storefronts, such as Battle.net (which is run by Microsoft-owned Activision Blizzard), Steam, GOG and more. Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass users have long had access to EA Play games as part of their subscriptions. Ubisoft+ is on Xbox consoles too . Microsoft Perhaps this concept of not being locked to a single store will start to work in other ways. Valve said a few years ago that it would be happy to integrate Game Pass into Steam , for instance. Likewise, Microsoft has said it would welcome Steam and the Epic Games Store app onto its PC app store (though Valve and Epic probably wouldn't want to give Microsoft a cut of game sales). Maybe we might finally see those come to fruition in the next few years. But how might those integrations work on an Xbox console? Bond hinted at that too. She said Xbox is working closely with the Windows team to ensure that Windows is the number one platform for gaming. Sure, that could be a reference to PC gaming. But Bond didn't explicitly state that, which has me wondering if the next Xbox console might be more of a Windows PC that sits under your TV. That would align with comments made a few months back by Jez Corden of Windows Central , who said the next Xbox is a PC, in essence, but with a TV-friendly shell. As with the likes of the Steam Deck and other handheld PCs, this would potentially give game developers a specific set of specifications to work with (though ensuring their games are optimized for as many desktop and laptop configurations as possible will still be a complex task). Perhaps the user interface Xbox is debuting on the Ally X devices is a sign of things to come on larger displays. Moreover, the Xbox and Windows teams are stripping out unnecessary aspects of the operating system in the Xbox Ally handhelds to make them run more efficiently. What's to stop them from doing the same in the next Xbox console? That could enable Xbox to offer a more unified ecosystem across all platforms, while streamlining things for developers who want to make games for both PC and Xbox. Don't forget that Microsoft has been making a real effort to make Windows run more smoothly on ARM-based processors as part of its Copilot+ PC push. We might have to wait two or three more years to get a fuller sense of Microsoft's vision for the future of Xbox consoles. But it certainly has the opportunity to knit its platforms more closely together and make playing Xbox (and PC) games across devices a more seamless experience.

Marathon isn't coming in September after all. Bungie said on Tuesday that it's delaying the shooter indefinitely. We're using this time to empower the team to create the intense, high-stakes experience that a title like Marathon is built around, the company wrote . Bungie wants to incorporate player feedback from the game's closed alpha playtest. (It ran from April 23 to May 4.) The company will continue closed testing over the next few months. The developer wants to drill down on what makes the game uniquely compelling. Bungie views this as a blend of survival, mystery, raid-like endgame challenges and combat. Adding more challenging AI encounters is also a priority. Ditto for enhanced visual fidelity and a darker tone that's more like the '90s originals . Bungie Last month, the game made headlines for the wrong reasons. Bungie admitted that Marathon 's alpha version used stolen artwork . The developer said a former artist on its team pinched the assets without its knowledge. That incident wasn't mentioned in today's statement. Still, it's easy to imagine that could have played a part in the decision. Delays are never fun for those eager to play. However, early testers had plenty of criticism. Through every comment and real-time conversation on social media and Discord, your voice has been strong and clear, Bungie wrote. We've taken this to heart, and we know we need more time to craft Marathon into the game that truly reflects your passion. So, it sounds like the delay could be a wise decision in the long run. Bungie says it will provide its next update, along with a new release date, this fall.

Facebook videos are all just going to be reels now
Facebook is once again rebranding the video section of its app. This time, the tab formerly known as video , which was also once called watch , will become eels. The change comes as the company says that all video on the social network will now fall under the umbrella of eels regardless of how long the clip is or how it was shot. According to Meta , the change will make things simpler for users and creators sharing video clips on the platform. Previously, users had to decide whether they wanted a given video to be a eel, shorter clips that are recommended throughout the Facebook app, or a video, which also included live and longer-form content, as well as video posts intended only for friends. Now, that distinction will no longer matter. While reels was once explicitly meant for shortform videos of one minute or less, Meta has gradually expanded the format. On Instagram, Reels can now be up to three minutes long. On Facebook, there will be no upper limit on how long a eel can be. Youll be able to create and share reels of any length or orientation, whether its a quick, 30-second vertical clip or an in-depth, 20-minute plus horizontal episode, Meta explains . This change could end up being slightly confusing as most people are used to eels being shorter, vertical clips rather than long episodes. It's also notably different from how video functions on Instagram, where reels still have time constraints. It could also raise questions from a privacy standpoint as reels are typically public posts, while many Facebook users upload video they only want to share with their existing friends (Meta says it will prompt users to revisit their privacy settings once the change rolls out to ensure their clips only make it to the intended audience.) Meta notes that the changes will be rolling out slowly in the coming months, so people will have some time to adjust to the new format.

Apple Adds M4 MacBook Air To Refurbished Store With 15% Discount
Apple has begun selling refurbished units of the M4 MacBook Air through its official refurbished store . These units are now available at a discount of approximately 15% off the original MSRP , providing a more budget-friendly option for consumers interested in the latest model. Refurbished M4 MacBook Airs are available starting at $849 , and include base specifications such as a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM . They are offered in all four color options: Sky Blue, Starlight, Midnight , and Silver . As of now, 15-inch models are not listed but are expected to be added soon. Apples refurbished program is well-regarded for its quality standards. Each device undergoes a thorough inspection and component replacement process, ensuring the product functions like new. Buyers also receive a one-year limited warranty , identical to new purchases, and can optionally add AppleCare+ for extended coverage. Refurbished M4 MacBook Air models start at $849, and are available in all colors: Sky Blue, Starlight, Midnight, and Silver. In comparison to other retailers, the value proposition depends on the configuration. For instance, Amazon is currently selling new M4 MacBook Airs at the same starting price of $849 . Amazon also offers the 15-inch variant at $1049 , potentially giving consumers similar pricing with brand-new packaging and immediate availability. However, Apples refurbished store shines in offering higher-end configurations at discounted rates. For example, a 13-inch M4 MacBook Air with 1TB storage and 32GB of RAM is listed at $1529 in the refurbished store, which presents significant savings for users seeking more advanced specs. Earlier this week, Apple also added other refurbished products, including the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in Black and Mac Studio models equipped with M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips. Overall, Apples refurbished store remains a solid option for consumers looking for cost-effective access to newer Apple hardware , especially for those seeking premium configurations not commonly discounted elsewhere. While some base models may be found at similar prices through third-party retailers, the official refurbished units come with Apples warranty and support , providing peace of mind for buyers.

Threads adds new dedicated feed for fediverse content
Metas Threads is deepening its integration with the fediverse , a collection of decentralized social media platforms that includes Mastodon . Starting today, users who have enabled sharing to the fediverse in Threads will be able to see posts from federated accounts that they follow. These posts will now appear in a dedicated feed. From this feed, users can now search for federated users from within Threads. These posts will populate in reverse chronological order, ensuring the newest posts from accounts you follow appear first. Decentralized platforms currently compatible with Threads include Mastodon, Bookwyrm, WriteFreely and more, with Meta hoping more services will sign on in the future. When searching for fediverse accounts, simply input their username and corresponding service into the search bar, such as @flipboard@flipboard.social, and if an exact match exists, their profile will appear alongside the fediverse icon. Meta has spent the last year working on building the fediverse into the Threads experience, and the company says that Threads has interacted with over 75 percent of all fediverse servers since sharing to the fediverse was launched a year ago. The social media conglomerate states that its goal remains to grow the fediverse responsibly, prioritizing the success of a safe community from multiple platforms and with multiple points of view. Integrations like the features being launched today, however, make it much easier for the companys users to see federated posts without ever navigating away from Threads to do so. Furthermore, fediverse engagement on Threads remains an opt-in feature, and replies you receive to posts shared in the fediverse are still not integrated into Threads.

Peak Design's new tripods take aim at the professional set
Peak Design is building on the success of its innovative Travel Tripod . The photography accessory maker is launching a new Pro Tripod on Kickstarter. The latest model comes in three flavors: Pro Lite, Pro and Pro Tall. As you might expect, their prices dwarf that of the (already expensive) Travel Tripod. The Pro Tripod is scaled up for greater stiffness and maximum height. It has stronger legs, an all-CNC-machined hub and a anged center column. This results in double the weight capacity of the Travel Tripod, which supports 20 lbs. The new Pro Tripod and Pro Tall Tripod each support 40 lbs. Meanwhile, the Pro Lite Tripod handles a bit less at 35 lbs. Peak Design When packed, the Pro models take up more space than the Travel model, but they'll still easily fit in a backpack. The Pro and Pro Lite Tripods measure just under 20 inches. The Pro Tall Tripod folds down to 22.9 inches. The Pro and Pro Tall models weigh just over 4 lbs, while the Pro Lite weighs 3.7 lbs. Peak Design is also selling new accessories for those with the most demanding needs. The tilt mod will be essential for those who need the smoothest video. It converts the Pro line's standard ball head into a fluid pan-and-tilt one. The Pro Leveling Base enables quick leveling on uneven terrain. And the Pro Spike Feet will help the tripod grip slippery or loose ground. Peak Design If you thought the Travel Tripod was expensive, well, brace yourself. The Pro Lite Tripod is estimated to cost $800. The Pro Tripod is expected to cost $900. And the Pro Tall Tripod will retail for approximately $1,000. They're estimated prices since the products are only now arriving on Kickstarter. But, as is often the case with crowdfunding, pledging early will get you a discount. If you're aghast at the pricing, well, that's entirely understandable. But consider that Peak Design is truly targeting professionals here. It isn't uncommon to see tripods from brands like RRS and Gitzo crack the $1,000 barrier. Engadget plans to review the Pro Tripod to see how it stands up (sorry) to pro-level needs. The Pro Lite Tripod is expected to ship in October. Meanwhile, the company is aiming for February 2026 for the Pro and Pro Tall models. You can learn more in the video below and on the Kickstarter page .

Junes Game Pass additions include Remedy co-op shooter FBC: Firebreak
Microsofts Game Pass is having a very impressive 2025 where the quality and cadence of releases is concerned, and things are showing no signs of slowing down as we settle into the summer months. Highlights of the June lineup include co-op FPS FBC: Firebreak , which joins the service today, Sloclaps highly-anticipated soccer game, Rematch , and a trio of Warcraft remasters. Lets start with probably the most significant addition. Back in May, Engadgets Jessica Conditt got to play Remedys FBC: Firebreak and was tentatively optimistic about what is a pretty major genre-shift for the studio known for single-player games such as Alan Wake and Control ( Firebreak is set in the same location as the latter). The important building blocks of a great co-operative shooter were there, and the hope is that Remedy has polished up the experience ahead of launch. FBC: Firebreak also joins PS Plus today as a day one release for both platforms, which should hopefully help get it off the ground. Also joining today is Lost in Random: The Eternal Die , a roguelite spin-off of 2021s Lost in Random , that has more than a hint of Hades about it judging by screenshots and fast-paced gameplay clips weve seen in the runup to launch. Another notable Game Pass additions arrives on June 19. Rematch is a soccer game that eschews the more sim-like approach of EA Sports FC in favor of an arcade-style spin on the worlds most popular sport. Matches are 5v5, and you only control one player on your team. There are no offsides, no fouls and no breaks in play, so referees wont bail you out when something doesnt go your way. Rematch is the latest game from the Paris-based indie studio Sloclap, who made the incredibly stylish kung fu game, Sifu . Its no surprise, then, that Rematch s almost impressionist aesthetic is just as easy on the eye. Its also a big month for Game Pass ever-growing catalogue of Activision Blizzard games, with the remastered versions of Warcraft I and Warcraft II , as well as Warcraft III: Reforged all being added on June 26. Call of Duty: WWII joins them on June 30. As we head into July, Game Pass subscribers can download or stream Little Nightmares II and Rise of the Tomb Raider , which returns to Microsofts service ahead of the games 10th anniversary in November. You can check out the full list of announcements here.

Looking to grab an official Tires shirt or a sandwich based on Arnold Schwarzenegger's FUBAR ? Netflix will have you covered in the near future. The streaming platform's long-promised Netflix House amusement centers will open up shop in Dallas and outside of Philadelphia by the end of the year , with a third location coming to Las Vegas in 2027. These 100,000-square feet behemoths will operate throughout the year and will celebrate all things Netflix. There's a retail component, a restaurant called Netflix Bites and all kinds of immersive story-driven experiences based on some of its biggest shows. The locations will also offer mini-golf, which maybe is a tribute to that one episode of Cobra Kai ? We aren't sure about that one. Netflix As for the aforementioned story-driven experiences, the locations will include stuff like the iconic Red Light, Green Light race from Squid Game and a Demogorgan chase inspired by Stranger Things . Netflix says each location will egularly update its offerings so these experiences should vary. The platform promises experiences based on hits like Wednesday , One Piec e and the Knives Out movie franchise. Sadly, there was no mention of Is it Cake? or the social media-adjacent reality show The Circle . I want to sit in a weirdly-decorated room and talk to strangers on the internet! Wait a minute. I already do that. The Philadelphia location is being built at King of Prussia Mall and the Dallas branch will exist at Galleria Dallas.
