One of the dance emotes in Fortnite is modeled after actor Donald Faison's smooth moves from the TV show Scrubs where he dances to the song "Poison." During an event this weekend, Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence said someone, presumably from Epic, reached out to him to ask if they could use Faison's "choreography" in the video game, according to Vulture. Apparently, Lawrence gave them the green light.Faison revealed during the panel that he created the Poison dance very quickly after showing up late to set the day they filmed the scene for the episode "My Half Acre." The audience and some of Faison's castmates called on Faison to do the dance on stage, but a salty-sounding Faison said, "If you want to see it, you can play Fortnite, because they jacked that sh**!"Whether or not Faison takes any action against Epic for Fortnite's use of his Poison dance remains to be seen. We've contacted Epic to see if they have any comment.Rapper 2 Milly recently accused Epic of stealing his dance for a Fortnite emote. He told GameSpot sister site CBS News that Epic crossed the line when it decided to sell the dance emote for real money. "They actually sell that particular move. It's for purchase," 2 Milly said. "That's when I really was like ... oh nah, this can't go on too long."Chance the Rapper also said he takes issue with Fortnite's use of the dances in the battle royale game. "Black creatives created and popularized these dances but never monetized them. Imagine the money people are spending on these emotes being shared with the artists that made them," he said back in July.Fortnite should put the actual rap songs behind the dances that make so much money as Emotes. Black creatives created and popularized these dances but never monetized them. Imagine the money people are spending on these Emotes being shared with the artists that made them — Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) July 13, 2018In other Fortnite news, the game's next big update comes out on Tuesday, November 20.

It's hard to believe, but 2018 is winding to a close. November is now underway, and while many of the year's biggest releases arrived back in October, there are still a number of major games in store for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch this month, from the latest entries in the Battlfield and Fallout franchises to the first pair of Pokemon RPGs for Nintendo's hybrid console.On top of all the new titles, a handful of notable re-releases are set to arrive this month as well, among them the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which collects and remasters all of Spyro's PS1 adventures into one package. Blizzard's acclaimed dungeon crawler Diablo III also arrived on Switch, marking the developer's first release on a Nintendo system in over 15 years.That's only a small sample of the games coming out in November 2018. You can see all of the biggest releases on the way for each platform this month below. For a broader look at all of the other titles out this year, be sure to check out our complete list of game release dates in 2018.Spyro Reignited Trilogy (PS4, Xbox One) -- November 13Following the success of last year's Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy, Activision is dusting off another PlayStation 1 icon with the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Developed by Skylanders studio Toys for Bob, the collection launches for PS4 and Xbox One on November 13 and features all three of Spyro's PS1 adventures--Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon--all of which have received a significant audio and visual overhaul. The games also give you the option to choose between their new remastered soundtracks and the original ones if you ever get the urge to listen to the old tracks.Further reading:Spyro Reignited Trilogy Launch Trailer Lights It UpSpyro Reignited Trilogy Shows Why Remastering A Classic Isn't EasySpyro Reignited Trilogy Lets You Choose Between Original And Remastered SoundtracksFallout 76 (PS4, Xbox One, PC) -- November 14Fallout 76, the latest installment in Bethesda's post-apocalyptic RPG series, arrives on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 14, and it takes the traditionally single-player franchise into entirely new territory: multiplayer. Unlike previous games in the series, Fallout 76 is an online-only RPG with no NPCs; rather, every human character you come across as you explore the irradiated wastes of West Virginia is another player, and your best hope for gathering resources and surviving against the hulking mutant creatures roaming about is to band together with others, making for a very different kind of RPG than the series is known for.Further reading:Fallout 76 Final Beta Dates And Times AnnouncedFallout 76 Is Filled With Other People, But It's A Lonely, Dead WorldHow Long Will Fallout 76 Servers Be Online?

A reimagining of the classic Pokemon Yellow version for Game Boy, the Let's Go titles take players back to the Kanto region, where they'll face off against new and familiar trainers on a quest to capture the original 151 Pokemon and become Pokemon League Champion. The games also diverge in some dramatic ways, most notably by incorporating the capture mechanics from Pokemon Go and introducing new attacks, as well as an entirely new Mythical Pokemon named Meltan.Further reading:How Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee Update Pokemon Yellow For A New GenerationPokemon: Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee Make Some Welcome Changes, But Also Some Concerning OnesLet's Go Pikachu / Eevee's Big Challenge: Master TrainersBattlefield V (PS4, Xbox One, PC) -- November 20EA's Battlefield series returns to the conflicts of World War II with its latest installment, Battlefield V. Originally slated to launch back in October, the military shooter arrives on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 20 with a variety of maps and modes from the outset, and even more free content following in the months after its release as part of the Tides of War service. That includes new War Story missions and the battle royale-style Firestorm mode, in which 64 players divided into teams of four vie to be the last one standing on an ever-shrinking battlefield. Those who pick up the game during its launch week will also receive two free items.Further reading:Battlefield 5 PC System Requirements Revealed: Can You Run It?Battlefield 5 Microtransactions Won't Be Available At LaunchBattlefield 5's Firestorm Battle Royale Mode Coming Next YearFull November Release ScheduleGamePlatformRelease DateThe Quiet ManPS4, PCNovember 1Diablo III: Eternal CollectionSwitchNovember 2DéracinéPSVRNovember 6Overkill's The Walking DeadPS4, Xbox One, PCNovember 6World of Final Fantasy MaximaXbox One, SwitchNovember 6Ride 3PS4, Xbox One, PCNovember 8Tetris EffectPS4November 9Hitman 2PS4, Xbox One, PCNovember 13SNK 40th Anniversary CollectionSwitchNovember 13Spyro Reignited TrilogyPS4, Xbox OneNovember 13Fallout 76PS4, Xbox One, PCNovember 14Underworld AscendantPCNovember 15Civilization VISwitchNovember 16Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Let's Go EeveeSwitchNovember 16Battlefield VPS4, Xbox One, PCNovember 20WarframeSwitchNovember 20WreckfestPS4, Xbox OneNovember 20Darksiders 3PS4, Xbox One, PCNovember 27ArtifactPCNovember 28 Info from Gamespot.com

Battlefield V is now going live for subscribers to EA or Origin Access, after a long wait punctuated by a last-minute delay. This one takes the series back to the iconic setting of World War 2, but does a return to the Greatest Generation make for a great game?While reviews are starting to roll in, some sites are publishing early impressions or reviews-in-progress, including GameSpot. And in a year when Battlefield's major competitor, Call of Duty, has eschewed a single-player campaign, the presence of one in Battlefield V seems to be standing out. The consensus agrees that the package as shipped already has a lot to explore thanks to the campaign and multiplayer, even knowing more is on the way. Its battle royale mode Firestorm is coming next year, and DICE has built a reputation for long-term support.GameSpot's Battlefield V early impressions found it maintained the scale we've come to expect from a Battlefield game. "There's a lot more to dig into, like the fortification system, squad reinforcements perks, and how destruction may change map dynamics, and spending more time with the game will paint a better picture," wrote critic Michael Higham. "At the end of the day, it's still Battlefield, and Battlefield V is shaping up to be a good one at that."Read on for more reviews from around the industry, or check GameSpot sister site Metacritic for more reviews.Game: Battlefield VPlatforms: PC, PS4, Xbox OneDeveloper / publisher: DICE / ActivisionRelease date: Out now (limited) / Wide release November 20Price: US $60 / £50 / AU $69GameSpot -- No Score"As of now, it feels as if Battlefield V is a variation on a well-established theme. It maintains the series tradition of grand spectacle with incredible sound design, impactful weaponry, and large-scale multiplayer chaos." -- Michael Higham [Full review]Gaming Trend -- 9/10"After spending quite a while with the game, I'm blown away that there's still so much to discover. With dozens of collectibles to find in the single player campaign, a seemingly-unlimited number of weekly challenges, and the Tides of War looming large on the horizon, Battlefield V is the best this series has ever been, and easily the best FPS of the season." -- Ron Burke [Full review]PC Games N -- 9/10"Battlefield V delivers the series' finest single-player campaign yet, painting the horror of war from rarely seen perspectives. That tension carries through to the multiplayer, which has been tuned to hammer home your vulnerability in a firefight." -- James McMahon [Full review]CG Magazine -- 8/10"Despite the bad press at the start, I have a lot of faith in DICE as a developer and they have delivered a fantastic shooter this year with Battlefield V after listening to their community and taking their feedback seriously." -- Cole Watson [Full review]Digital Trends -- 6/10"Battlefield V is a fine World War II shooter and it has the potential to turn into a great one with a few updates and the addition of its post-launch modes, but with Black Ops 4 providing such a rich and engaging competitive experience and last year's Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus offering a better (and more upfront) Nazi-shooting campaign, there's little reason for this game to be your first choice. That's partially a testament to the strength of its competition, but Battlefield V fails to impress the same way Battlefield 1 did. By all means, give it a try if you're a fan of DICE’s previous work, but know that you'll have to put up with some pretty glaring faults." -- Gabe Gurwin [Full review]Info from Gamespot.com

EA and DICE have issued patch notes for a day-one update to Battlefield V. It's out already for players who have gained early access through EA's subscription services or a special edition, and it's targeted mainly at a handful of stability issues and bugs.The change log details the fixes. It fixes an issue in which team sizes could be very uneven, makes improvements to matchmaking to reduce disconnects, and addresses an error that would make the revive functionality stop working, among many others. In particular, a few distinct Airborne issues have been addressed by this patch, along with one in War Stories that would prevent you from collecting Letters.The patch has a couple of platform-specific notes too. On Xbox One the patch improves how it resumes when you use the Instant-On function, while on PC it enables RTX ray tracing if your graphic card supports it. The studio also encourages feedback, which you can give through its forums or the Answers HQ.Battlefield V reviews have started to roll out in advance of its release next week. GameSpot's own early impressions suggest there's a lot more to explore before the final verdict, but it's off to a good start."As of now, it feels as if Battlefield V is a variation on a well-established theme. It maintains the series tradition of grand spectacle with incredible sound design, impactful weaponry, and large-scale multiplayer chaos," wrote Michael Higham.

This has now been fixed.Further improvements to game client stability have been made.In the Airborne game mode, spawn protection has been added when attackers spawn into planes. The planes are no longer as vulnerable to AA fire as they used to be at longer distances.Fixed an issue in Airborne where the bomb carriers could finish arming the objective even though they were dead.Players can no longer shoot down airplanes too quickly in Airborne, which could result in the attackers not being able to spawn.In War Stories, players are no longer able to collect Letters while playing offline due to them not being able to update the persistence counters, which requires an online connection.Fixed an issue where a weapon would disappear on the weapon selection screen.Fixed an issue in Frontlines mode on Devastation where the bomb in some rare cases spawned inside a wall.Fixed an issue which made the menus unusable when cancelling a matchmaking session.Fixed an issue with the lens sight alignment on the MP34 weapon.

Gears Pop, the cute mobile spin-off from the usually grim and gritty Gears of War franchise, made a surprise debut at E3 earlier this year. Now with the game around the corner in some territories, The Coalition has shown the first gameplay footage.In an extended dev diary, studio head Rod Fergusson and game director Tyler Bielman explain that the game is preparing for a soft launch--the practice when mobile games launch in some individual territories to put a game through its paces on a small-scale, similar to a beta. Since word would be getting out regarding the game at that point anyway, The Coalition decided this was the time to show off footage. The result is an extended look at a single match, lasting about three minutes, with a striking resemblance to the mobile game Clash Royale.As Bielman explains, their goals in transitioning Gears to a new format was to deliver on a few pillars of the Gears universe: cover, so-called "explosive moments," and the familiar Gears characters. You can build a team of Gears heroes and villains for 3v3 matches in an arena setting.Gears Pop was one of three games that made its debut at E3 2018, alongside Gears Tactics for PC and Gears 5 for Xbox One. Gears 5 debuted a trailer along with its original announcement. Both Gears 5 and Gears Pop are scheduled for release in 2019, while Tactics doesn't yet have a release date.Info from Gamespot.com

Tom Cruise will no longer play the big-screen version of Jack Reacher, as the character is moving to a streaming series with a new actor in the lead. This comes as author Lee Child admits that the fans were correct to criticize Cruise's stature not matching the character.In the books, Reacher is described as a mountain of a man who makes others feel uncomfortable by his mere presence. He's also over six feet tall, while Tom Cruise is a slighter 5'7". Fans of the books criticized the casting choice, and it appears Child has come around to their point."I really enjoyed working with Cruise. He's a really, really nice guy. We had a lot of fun," Child told the BBC. "But ultimately the readers are right. The size of Reacher is really, really important and it's a big component of who he is. The idea is that when Reacher walks into a room, you're all a little nervous just for that first minute. And Cruise, for all his talent, didn't have that physicality."Instead, he said they're going to develop a long-form streaming show with a new actor. The platform hasn't been decided, but Child said he was thinking along the lines of "Netflix or something like that." He also mentioned that he wants the readers who were dissatisfied with Cruise to give suggestions on an actor who would fit the part.The two films, the first called Jack Reacher and the second titled Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, both received middling reviews, though the consensus was more positive for the first movie than for its sequel.Info from Gamespot.com

Sony has announced a new PlayStation 4 bundle that includes Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Though plenty of PS4 bargains will be awaiting shoppers on store shelves during Black Friday, this one actually goes on sale the following week for those patient enough to wait for their deal.The bundle includes a 1TB PlayStation 4, DualShock controller, and Black Ops 4, for $300. A 1TB console by itself costs the same, so this essentially throws the game in for free. It will be available in retail stores on November 27.This isn't the best deal going on a new PlayStation 4. A Black Friday bundle offers the same 1TB system with a copy of Spider-Man for $200. For that price you could add Black Ops 4 at standard price get two games for less than the price of a bundle that includes just one. However, that one is tied to Black Friday and will probably only be available for a limited time, while the Black Ops 4 bundle appears to be more standard.GameSpot's Black Ops 4 review found the package felt complete even without a single-player campaign. "Sure, there isn't a traditional single-player campaign, but with the depth and breadth of what is there, Black Ops 4 doesn't need it," wrote critic Kallie Plagge.For more bargains check out our round-ups of all things Black Friday, which includes more deals on PS4 systems and games, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch consoles, and a lot more.Info from Gamespot.com

Bungie has given word on when to expect Destiny 2's next big paid update, Black Armory, along with a heads-up about some growing pains that may come along with it. The new content will drop on December 4, and Bungie warns that the week prior may raise unforeseen issues as it prepares to roll out the update.In an update on the official blog, the team says it is working to make a list of temporary changes so players will know what to expect, and it encourages anyone impacted by unexpected bugs help forum.The Black Armory is part of the new Season of the Forge, which will begin on November 27. It will be followed by the Season of the Drifter, followed by another unnamed season. Season of the Forge will add the new The Dawning event, new Crucible content, and new weapons. Annual Pass holders who can access the Black Armory will get Light and Fury weapons, the new Forges of the Chain activity, a Raid Lair, Exotics, and Legendaries.The blog also noted a set of changes coming to the PvP/PvE hybrid Gambit Mode. Infamy will be more readily available, with Infamy rank point awards for all bounties being doubled. Various challenges have been retuned to be easier to complete and a new bounty rewards Primeval envoy kills. Ranking up in subdivisions will award Legendary weapons and armor. Plus the players who receive their Primeval second can only receive one "catch-up" stack of Primeval Slayer, rather than multiple stacks based on performance.If you need to rack up Infamy, next week will be the time. A Double Infamy event will take place next Tuesday, November 20 through Friday, November 23, followed by a Triple Infamy event from November 23 through Tuesday, November 27.Finally, Bungie suggested the transition into the next year of Destiny 2 will come with its own changes and plans for the future. The company has previously said it has a full year of content planned following Forsaken. Black Armory will be the first piece of content for Annual Pass holders and more free content for everyone is coming."The time has come to begin a new conversation about how the Destiny endgame will continue to thrive in the months to come," the blog states. "What will each Season hold for every player of Destiny 2? How will the Annual Pass add to that experience? These are the questions we want to answer as we introduce you to a whole way to to enjoy your hobby as a Guardians with new challenges to conquer and new rewards you’ll want to add to your inventory."Next week, as the holiday season begins in our neck of the woods, the news coming out of our studio will be random and light. The week after, we’ll be exploring all the details of another kind of season. Stay tuned for what comes next."This comes just after Activision publicly noted that Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion failed to meet sales targets. In that call, the company signaled that it would be looking for new ways for players to spend through in-game microtransactions. As Bungie plans whatever it has in store for seasonal content, it may also have to make changes to answer for revenue expectations from the game's publisher.Info from Gamespot.com

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has gotten another global update across all platforms, including quality-of-life improvements, a new Perk system modifier, and PC-specific balance changes. Plus it includes the usual round of regular bug fixes that are to be expected with an ongoing live game.In the patch notes, Treyarch says that the PC balance updates are distinct from the other platforms and the teams evaluate them separately. As a result the notes have their own PC section with additional keybinds, more slight toggles for things like push to talk or Asus Aura RGB effects, and several balance changes to weapons.Meanwhile, all modes got improvements to detecting melee attacks, exploit fixes in Multiplayer, and crash fixes in Zombies. The Zombies mode also got a new modifier to its Perk system to increase weapon reload speed. If you've played previous games you may recognize this as the "Speed Cola" perk. Combining it with Fast Mags/Hybrid Mags, it results in a 50% overall increase."This preserves the role of these weapon attachments in creating the quickest-handling guns in each weapon class," reads the notes. "Additionally, we wanted to ensure the reload modifiers from certain Pack-a-Punch versions of weapons are still meaningful, which stack with the new 'Speed Cola' tuning values."If you haven't yet grabbed Black Ops 4, Amazon has a hot deal offering it for $40. This matches the best sale price across retailers on Black Friday. Plus, if you need a system to go with it, Sony just announced a new PlayStation 4 bundle that includes the game for free.Check below for the full patch notes.Black Ops 4 November 15 Update Patch NotesMultiplayerGameplayImproved melee attack hit registration.

Marvel's Spider-Man is a critical and commercial success, but if you were holding out to web up a Spidey discount, today is your day. As part of Ebay's ongoing pre-Black Friday sales, you can get the swinging superhero for $40--the lowest price we've seen from the coming sales season. [Update: The sale price has now gone up to $43 as of the time of writing, which is still a deep discount.]Like many of Ebay's sale items, this is likely limited by time and supply. You can pick it up at the sale price here. You may have to wait a bit for delivery, though; as of time of writing, delivery is estimated December 5-10. This joins Ebay's line-up of "Better Than Black Friday" deals, which includes discounts on other recent games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Black Ops 4.Spider-Man sold record numbers for Sony, and its success helped Sony's bottom line so much that the company as a whole raised its profit forecast. This Ebay deal is the only discount we've seen this season on the standalone game, though Sony is offering a big discount on the game bundled with a new PS4 console as well for Black Friday.Insomniac and Sony just detailed the second DLC pack Turf Wars, part of the ongoing serialized story The City That Never Sleeps. It's set to drop next week, on November 20, with new story missions, sidequests, and of course, Spidey suits."The feeling of embodying Spidey and using his abilities is astonishing, and the time spent on exploring its major characters help make its story feel heartfelt, despite superhero bombast," critic Edmond Tran said in GameSpot's Spider-Man review. "There have been open-world Spider-Man games before, but none so riveting and full of personality, none that explore and do justice to this many facets of the universe."Info from Gamespot.com

Video games are on the menu when it comes to Best Buy during Black Friday 2018. The big day--Black Friday is on November 23--is quickly approaching, and thanks to the release of its full ad, we know much of what to expect. In advance of that, Best Buy has all of its deals live right this very minute, but only if you're a My Best Buy Elite or Elite Plus member. Availability will widen in the days to come.There are a ton of PS4, Xbox One, and Switch games on sale, along with hardware and accessories. Best Buy's console deals are limited in number, but they present a good way to pick up any of the big systems. Many of them are similar to what you'll find at other stores, but it does have what might be the best deal on an Xbox One X. For $430, you get a special-edition Xbox One X that's bundled with November's Battlefield V, plus a second controller.Those looking for a PS4 can get one bundled with Marvel's Spider-Man, which just released in September, for $200. $200 can also get you an Xbox One S Minecraft bundle. If you're in the market for a Nintendo Switch, you'll get the same offer at places like Target, which is a $300 bundle (the standard price of the system) that includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.The bulk of the gaming offers are on specific games. Among the highlights is the recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 for $45, God of War for $25, and PUBG (Xbox One) for $15. For $30, you can get Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Madden NFL 19, NBA 2K19, or Forza Horizon 4. Switch, which often doesn't get a lot of discounts, has a number of games on sale, including Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze for $40, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle for $20, and Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate for $35. 3DS owners can pick up Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon for $20 each.Outside of individual games, Best Buy has deals on a variety of accessories, including a 30% discount on all Astro headsets. But some of the best offers it has are for subscriptions: You can get 12 months of PlayStation Plus for $40 or 12 months of Xbox Game Pass for $70. Considering the latter gets you access to certain games you might be buying on sale (like Forza Horizon 4 and Sea of Thieves), it could be a preferable option.Best Buy's Black Friday offerings will be available to everyone beginning on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, at 5 PM local time. (Specific opening times may vary by state.) You'll also be able to shop online at Best Buy's website. Early access is now live for My Best Buy Elite and Elite Plus members. Standard My Best Buy members get access on Monday, November 19; essentially, you can sign up for free and get access days ahead of time.My Best Buy members will get a chance to grab additional hot deals in the Black Friday ad before anyone else.

Black Friday 2018 Has Begun; Deals For PSN, Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy Games, TVs, Movies, And More
Black Friday 2018 is now just a week away, but with some stores starting their deals early, it's technically even closer than that. If you're really eager to start shopping, Ebay has a pre-Black Friday sale where it's undercutting the deals that have been announced, and Best Buy has its sales now live for some My Best Buy members. Additionally, PSN and the Xbox Store's sale is live for Xbox Live Gold members.Black Friday officially takes place on November 23, but we now have a great sense of what to expect on the deals front. We started out by getting Target's ad early, giving us a look at what will be on sale across games, tech, and entertainment, and that's been followed by several other huge ones, Walmart and Best Buy. Everything from 4K TVs to PS4, Xbox One X, and Nintendo Switch are on sale, not to mention games and movies ranging from Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Star Wars to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Deadpool 2. GameStop has also shared an early version of its ad, though it doesn't appear to be comprehensive just yet.As always, tracking what's on sale and where can be an overwhelming task, as can determining what the best deals are. We'll be doing our best to help you stay on top of this so you can make the most of Black Friday (and Cyber Monday immediately after that) without having to drown in a sea of circulars and hastily scrawled post-it notes. Below, you'll find our complete coverage of the event; be sure to check back as more ads are revealed in the lead up to the big day.Table of Contents [hide]Platforms And TVsPS4All PS4 DealsCheapest PS4 ConsolesBest PlayStation Plus DealsXbox OneAll Xbox One DealsCheapest Xbox One ConsolesBest Xbox One DealsXbox Live Gold DealsNintendo SwitchAll Nintendo Switch DealsCheapest Nintendo Switch ConsolesTVsAll TV DealsStoresWalmartWalmart Game DealsBest Walmart Gaming DealsWalmart Entertainment DealsWalmart Tech DealsGameStopGameStop Game DealsBest BuyBest Buy Game DealsBest Buy's Best Game DealsBest Buy Entertainment DealsBest Buy Tech DealsTargetTarget Game DealsTarget's Best Game DealsTarget Entertainment DealsTarget Tech DealsTarget's Best Tech And Entertainment DealsPlayStation StorePSN Game DealsXbox LiveXbox Store Game DealsMicrosoft StoreMicrosoft Store Game DealsKohl'sKohl's Game DealsKohl's Tech DealsSam's ClubSam's Club Game And TV/Tech DealsNeweggNewegg Game And PC Hardware DealsGamesBest Games DealsAssassin's Creed OdysseyCall of Duty: Black Ops 4Forza Horizon 4God of WarSoulCalbur VINBA 2K19GTA 5WWE 2K19FIFA 19Destiny 2: Forsaken Legendary CollectionRainbow Six SiegePokemonMadden NFL 19MoviesMarvel MoviesTips And PreviewsWhen Do Black Friday Sales Begin?What to ExpectBlack Friday TipsPlatforms And TVsPS4All PS4 DealsIf you're looking for all things related to PS4, we've collected every deal announced so far for the platform--including consoles, accessories, and games--in one story.
