PCGamesN Tuesday, November 22, 2022 12:28 PM  Want a Warzone 2 Vaznev-9k loadout that'll shred enemies up close? Almost at the very end of the Kastov weapon platform, you'll find the Vaznev-9k, a 9mm SMG with one of the fastest TTK stats in the game. We've built our Warzone 2 Vaznev-9k loadout to excel at beaming enemies in the short to medium-range engagements. The recoil is very low, while the damage range and bullet velocity are relatively high. This does come with a minor knock to the Vaznev-9k's mobility, but it's still super fast to pull up to your shoulder. RELATED LINKS: Best Warzone 2 guns, Best Warzone 2 loadout, Warzone 2 map |

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 22, 2022 12:29 PM  The Disney Dreamlight Valley Toy Story update was announced in September alongside the addition of the Lion King update and new Scar quests. While the wicked lion king has already moved into his home in the Elephant Graveyard, we're still awaiting the delivery of Andy's favourite toys - but we do now have a release date. Arriving a little later thean expected, the Dreamlight Valley Toy Story update release date is December 6. The Disney life sim already features lots of familiar faces, but we know there is room for "unlimited" expansions. The Dream Castle already houses around 30 unlocked doors, which will eventually lead to new realms. That said, you'd think these new updates would be coming thick and fast, with Scar added just six weeks after the original release date. The Toy Story update might be coming a little later than anticipated, but it is still the second major update in just three months, with a Beauty and the Beast update expected not long into the new year.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 22, 2022 12:17 PM  Is Harry Potter in Hogwarts Legacy is a question on all our minds. After all, The Boy Who Lived is the reason we Muggles even know about the magical School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as Hogwarts itself was introduced to us through his own eyes all the way back in 1997 (feel old, yet?). And let's not forget the incredible Harry Potter games from the early noughties, and their hilarious, clunky graphics which will never be forgotten. All of this of course leads us to wonder whether our favourite bespectacled wizard will join us at Hogwarts this time around. As it's not just Harry, what about his now famous friends Ron and Hermione? Will they appear as playable characters or NPCs in the long-awaited action RPG game, or can we can expect to meet an entirely new ensemble of wand-wielding witches and wizards in the Hogwarts Legacy commons rooms, class rooms and halls?

The fire rate with this Warzone 2 loadout is also extremely fast, so you can follow up on your hits - or misses - almost instantly.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 22, 2022 12:06 PM  Follow the attachments of our best Warzone 2 RPK loadout to ensure you're dominating mid-range fights in Call of Duty's battle royale mode. This setup builds on the RPK's inherent strengths - relatively good mobility and high damage - by making it more effective over long distances and improving the recoil and stability. It's still slower to pull up your cheek than an SMG or AR, but you'll be able to take fights over much greater distances. Naturally, even the best Warzone 2 guns fall short in some areas, so make sure to grab the best Warzone 2 SMG if you want to round out the perfect Warzone 2 loadout.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 22, 2022 12:00 PM  Looking for the best P890 loadout in Modern Warfare 2? The P890 is a semi-automatic pistol that excels in close-quarters firefights, and it's become an unlikely rising star in the FPS game's multiplayer meta. Typically, most players flock to the best assault rifles or best sniper rifles before they take to the battlefield, but the P890 is a pistol that packs a punch, and that's before you add any attachments via the Modern Warfare 2 Gunsmith system to improve it even further. Our best Modern Warfare 2 P890 loadout builds upon the P890's impressive handling and mobility by refining its aim down sights speed and recoil control. We've also taken steps to improve upon its bullet velocity, but just bear in mind that the effectiveness of the P890 is restricted to its close range. Regardless of its damage output, it's still a pistol, and its bullet velocity is never going to reach that of long-range weapons such as the Lachmann-762 or the TAQ-56, so be careful not to overextend yourself and exhaust your ammo. That said, we've accounted for this as well in our best P890 loadout in Modern Warfare 2 – read on to find out more.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 22, 2022 11:50 AM  The best Modern Warfare 2 MCPR-300 loadout is for those who enjoy a life of anonymity; a secret existence punctuated only by a sharp snap and the death rattle of your unfortunate target. With exceptional range and bullet velocity, this is easily one of the best guns in Modern Warfare 2, and it has the added bonus of being the first sniper rifle you unlock. Bolt-action rifles occasionally have difficulty following up on missed shots, further exacerbated by a long reload time. Fortunately, the MCPR-300 is fitted with a magazine so reloading is instant. With the attachments below boosting bullet velocity, you'll find hitting your targets as easy as pie.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 22, 2022 11:46 AM  Searching for the Modern Warfare 2 best Lachmann-762 loadout? This battle rifle is a monster at long range; a powerful weapon that can pick off distant enemies in an instant. There are some issues with the weapon's recoil control, but this can easily be addressed by using the correct attachments. The Lachmann-762 also gives you the option to switch between semi-automatic and fully automatic firing modes - we recommend semi-automatic as the gun can go all over the place when firing off multiple rounds. This weapon has one of the fastest time-to-kill speeds we've seen in the FPS game, making it one of the best Modern Warfare 2 guns available.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 22, 2022 11:38 AM  The best Modern Warfare 2 PDSW 528 loadout is a rapid-firing, close-quarters menace, and provided your aim is even half-decent, you'll be decimating foes with ease. The classic P90 SMG is known as the PDSW 528 in Modern Warfare 2, so don't overlook the bullpup submachine gun while you're looking for your next favourite weapon. Even when you think you have found your new battle companion in the FPS game, you need to make sure it's set up correctly, with the new Gunsmith system changing the way you unlock some attachments. On base stats alone, you might think the PDSW 528 doesn't stack up against some of the best Modern Warfare 2 SMG, but add the following attachments, and your opponents won't be able to get out of the way fast enough.

PCGamesN Tuesday, November 22, 2022 11:41 AM  Building the best FSS Hurricane loadout in Modern Warfare 2 provides you with a weapon that excels in close-range encounters, while also having enough stopping power to put your opponents down at mid-range. Adding attachments to keep its recoil under control helps with longer engagements in the FPS game while maintaining your mobility, this keeps you on your toes when fights start to get up close and personal. The FSS Hurricane is part of the submachine gun class of weapons, and it uses the M4 receiver as its base. It's because of that assault rifle pedigree that the FSS feels more like a hybrid weapon, rather than a traditional SMG like the MP5. If you open a copy Modern Warfare 2 Vault Edition, the FSS Hurricane comes with all the weapon's attachments without having to unlock anything. Here is the best FSS Hurricane loadout in Modern Warfare 2. RELATED LINKS: Best Modern Warfare 2 guns, Best loadouts in Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 2 maps |
PCGamesN Tuesday, November 22, 2022 11:25 AM  The best Modern Warfare 2 Fennec 45 loadout focuses on improving its weak points - specifically mobility, handling, and damage. While other SMGs feature superior range, accuracy, and recoil control to the Fennec 45, we've got the right attachments to turn this SMG into a serious competitor. Boasting one of the fastest fire rates in the multiplayer game, the Fennec 45 can take enemies down quickly in almost any Modern Warfare 2 game mode. As such, this SMG is an ideal weapon for close-combat areas in the Modern Warfare 2 6v6 maps, especially with a loadout to improve accuracy and damage. With all of the upgrades we've made to the Fennec 45, it's undeniably the best Modern Warfare 2 SMG right now.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Tuesday, November 22, 2022 12:00 PM  When Nick Popovich was a kid, his parents ran the Sprague Road Tavern in North Royalton, Ohio. "Everything was a dive bar," Popovich, now co-founder and CEO of Monomi Park, says of the drinking scene in the Cleveland suburb. "It was all working-class, like dive-bar kinda thing. Which is basically what this place was." His mum and dad wanted to do up the joint, make it into something resembling what today would be called a sports bar. As part of this plan, Popovich's father added a game room to the building, filled with pool tables, shuffleboard ("As a result I'm hugely into shuffleboard", Popovich notes) and most importantly of all, a rotating stock of arcade machines. Back in the day, explains Popovich, the cabinet was the expensive thing. So his dad would find a cheap cabinet, they'd put in a cheap second-hand board and monitor, and paint the outside to make it look like the official version of the game. To the regulars drinking and shooting pool, it didn't matter that the arcade cabinet looked like a bootleg – that Donkey Kong was just a picture of a monkey that Popovich Senior had stencilled onto the side of the cabinet. What mattered was that the cabinet did what it needed to do, and that the game inside was legit. This line of thinking, of making something only as good as it needs to be, was an essential component in the development of Slime Rancher, Monomi Park's massively successful sci-fi farming simulator. "The original Slime Rancher cheated. A very small group of people made it, and it looks like many more people than that made it," Popovich says. |

Like, it's ruthless, stomach-churning, and soul-destroying. I'm kinda joking but also not joking? I don't know what it is about RPG maker games, but they just hit different. Set in a post-apocalypse with no women, you play as Brad who one day finds an abandoned baby girl, names her Buddy, and raises her in secret. Years later, Buddy is kidnapped by a militia group and Brad sets off to rescue her. When you put it like that, the story is pretty basic, but it's so much more than it seems. The absurdist comical world together with the awful decisions forced upon you make this a special kind of bleak RPG. |

A selection of production material provided by Mappa will be screened on the in-store monitor. An exhibition of Chainsaw Man figures will also be up for grabs. Check out some of the merchandise available at this link. Items range from buttons and badges to acrylic standees, posters, and bag tags.

It will be much easier to find and battle Ultra Beasts in Pokemon GO soon, as an Ultra Beast Arrival event is coming up next week. On November 27, 2022, people can take part in Timed Research and five-star Raids to encounter seven of them. However, these Raids will only appear worldwide between 11am and 5pm local time for players. Depending on where you live, different Ultra Beasts will appear at gyms in Pokemon GO. Both Nihilego and Guzzlord will be everywhere. However, a few others will only be in certain countries. For example, in North and South America, Buzzwole, will show up alongside Nihilego and Guzzlord. If you are in Europe, you'll see Pheromosa too. The Asia-Pacific countries will also get chances to catch Xurkitree. In addition, everyone in the Northern hemisphere will see Kartana, while the Southern hemisphere folks will see Celesteela. There will also be Timed Research showing up. Niantic didn't note how many steps will be involved. However, it did note it will be connected to the Ultra Beast Raids. It noted people who take part will get a chance to face Buzzwole, Celesteela, Guzzlord, Kartana, Nihilego, Pheromosa, and Xurkitree. Finally, the announcement also mentioned which Pokemon will show up around the gym if someone beats the Ultra Beast there. You'll see Absol, Dedenne, Frillish, Gulpin, Minccino, Machoke, Magmar, and Scyther more frequently briefly. Pokemon GO is available for Android and Apple iOS devices, and the Ultra Beast Arrival event will appear on November 27, 2022.

The "walking Pokemon" gameplay mechanic returns in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. It isn't just there for show. It is also a way to get certain characters to evolve. For example, the Pawmi to Pawmo evolution is a standard one, but getting a Pawmo to evolve into Pawmot in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet involves going for a walk.
How to Evolve Pawmi into Pawmo in Pokemon Scarlet and VioletGetting a Pawmi to evolve into Pawmo in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is easy. You need to get it to level 18. At that point, it will evolve into Pawmo as usual. Or, well, if you want to avoid this step… you can catch a Pawmo. I saw plenty of them in many areas around the game. They were especially prevalent around Porto Marinada last I looked. They also show up in three-star Tera Raids.
How to Evolve Pawmo into Pawmot in Pokemon Scarlet and VioletThis option involves spending time with your Pawmo. Literally. You need to walk 1,000 steps with a Pawmo outside of its ball to evolve it into Pawmot, the final Pawmi evolution, in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Level doesn't matter. The first time you level up after passing 1,000 steps, it will reach its final form. Again, you don't need to rely on evolution to get one. Parmots do appear in five and six-star Tera Raids. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available for the Nintendo Switch. The post How to Evolve Pawmi into Pawmo and Pawmot in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet appeared first on Siliconera. |

Earlier in November 2022, the Pokemon Center teased that the Pikachu and Gengar Squishmallow plush toys would be in-stock soon, and now we know the price and that the release date is today. Both characters are live on the site. The Gengar and Pikachu will ship immediately. The price for both the Gengar and Pikachu Squishmallows is $29.99 each. The announcement also means additional details came out about the characters. Each one is 12 inches tall. They also both have a Poke Ball embroidered on their backs. With standard shipping, they arrive within five to nine days. There are special offers in effect at the Pokemon Center store for the holidays. First, there is free shipping for orders over $20. Since the Pikachu and Gengar are each over $29.99, it qualifies. Also, there is a free Pikachu Pokemon Winter Wonders flat brass ornament offer. If you make a qualifying purchase, it will automatically be added to your cart. It is only for orders shipping to the US, however, and goes out only while supplies last. The price seems to be fairly average for the characters. For example, at BoxLunch an eight inch Squishmallow costs $19.90. Editor's Note at 1pm ET: The two Squishmallows sold out at the Pokemon Center on their November 22, 2022 release date. The Pikachu and Gengar Pokemon Squishmallows are now in stock at the Pokemon Center, and the price for each one is $29.99.

The next minigame in the Nintendo Switch Sports lineup is coming. Nintendo announced that Nintendo Switch Sports Golf arrives with the game's next update. The update is scheduled to deploy next week on November 28, 2022. The update is free to owners of the base game. Golf was previously announced in September, with a "Holiday 2022" release window. https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1594858249123143682 According to Nintendo, Nintendo Switch Sports Golf will feature 21 different holes to challenge, taken from the Wii Sports series. The minigame will include a Survival Golf mode, where players try to avoid elimination, and casual competition mode. As with the other sports in the lineup, it supports local multiplayer. Released on April 29, 2022, Nintendo Switch Sports is a motion-controlled minigame collection for the Switch, in the vein of the classic Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. Unlike those titles, the game didn't use the Mii avatars as default, allowing players to create more detailed avatars native to Nintendo Switch Sports itself. At the time of release, the base game offered Soccer, Volleyball, Bowling, Tennis, Badminton, and Chambara (swordfighting). Like its predecessors, players used the Joy-con controllers to replicate the motions needed to play the different sports. Subsequent updates added functionality like support for the Leg Strap accessory in Football, new moves in Volleyball. Other updates included "cheat codes" to summon the legendary Matt from Wii Sports as an AI opponent. Nintendo Switch Sports Golf arrives on November 28, 2022. The game is available on Switch. Check out Siliconera's review. The post Nintendo Switch Sports Golf Arrives in Late November 2022 appeared first on Siliconera. |

Furniture store Cellutane is selling a Pokemon Slowpoke sofa for fans that prefer a more gradual pace to life. It's officially called the "Yadon Bead Sofa." (This is after Slowpoke's Japanese name.) It sits one adult. It costs ¥28,400 (~$200). As someone can tell, this sofa is based on the Pokemon of the same name. Known as the Dopey Pokemon, Slowpoke first appeared in the Generation I Pokemon games (Red, Blue, and Yellow). A Water/Psychic-type, Slowpoke is known for its ponderous nature and notoriously low reaction time. Unlike the recent wave of large Pokémon plushies that double as furniture, Cellutane's Pokemon Slowpoke sofa shaped to suit actual sitting. It's also more of a bean bag chair, being made of polyester and filled with polystyrene beads. The whole sofa is about 720mm tall (about 2.4 feet), 920mm wide (about 3 feet), and 1010mm deep (about 3.3 feet). It weighs about 8.75kg (about 20 lbs). The backrest prominently displays Slowpoke's face, with ear-shaped protrusions along the top. The rear of the sofa also sprout's Slowpoke's distinctive tail. [gallery size="medium" link="file" ids="940942,940943,940941"] Besides the Slowpoke Sofa, Cellutane also offers other Pokémon-themed items, like a Rowlett Sofa, a Ditto Sofa, a Gengar Sofa, and a Snorlax Sofa. All are roughly the same height (the Gengar's ears add a few inches) and suited to use with Cellutane's Pokeball-themed Ottoman cushions (sold separately). Like the Slowpoke, all cost ¥28,400 (about $200). The Pokeball cushions cost 10,901 Yen (about $78 USD). The post Pokemon Slowpoke Sofa Costs About $200 appeared first on Siliconera. |

HoYoVerse is making a mascot character playable in one of its games. A playable Ai-chan is heading to Honkai Impact 3rd as the Ai Hyperion Λ Chrono Navi battlesuit in 6.2. To help provide more insight into her and her design, there are images going over details about it and a new video appeared. First, here's the initial announcement about the playable version of Ai-chan in Honkai Impact 3rd. It confirms Yui Horie will remain her voice actress for this form. Horie also plays Hitomi in Dead or Alive and Chie in Persona 4. It also points out that this is how the character would look when all grown up. She uses a chakram as her weapon in-game.
The second set of details went over specific design elements. As with the smaller version of the character, the adult version also has a similar hairstyle. There is also a green heart on her outfit, referencing how her name means "love." (It is also a pun, as she is an AI.) The other parts show her artificial, technical elements, as there is a fake power button-like "core" on her back and plug-ins on her.
Finally, here's the Honkai Impact 3rd Ai Hyperion Λ Chrono Navi battlesuit video with team members discussing how they created the design for the playable Ai-chan. Honkai Impact 3rd is available for the PC and mobile devices. The 6.1 update is available now, and 6.2 is on the way.

The Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Bardock - Alone Against Fate DLC 4 is on the way. The add-on was confirmed back in September 2022. Now, Bandai Namco released a new gameplay trailer to show what to expect. This isn't a story segment, though. Instead, it gives people a chance to see how Bardock fights firsthand. The about three minute long segment focuses on an altercation that takes place during Battle on Planet Kanassa. Things kick off right as the Battle on Planet Kanassa begins. Bardock is the character being controlled for this fight. However, he is accompanied by Fasha and Tora. Both of them were a part of Team Bardock fighting alongside him. The point of this mission is to defeat every Kanassan facing the trio. 145 need to be beaten. Kanassan Conjurors, Pugilists, and Warriors are among the opponents. Bardock can attack, use a Ki Blast, call upon items, or transform. If someone calls upon the allies for support, they each will have two attacks they can use. Fasha can use Energy Bullet and Saiyan Smash. Tora will be able to perform Dive Bomb Slash Kick and Flame Bullet. Here is the full Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Bardock - Alone Against Fate DLC 4 trailer. Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions will appear on January 13, 2023. If you have the PS4 or Xbox One version, the next-gen updates will be free. The Dragon Ball Z Kakarot DLC 4 Bardock - Alone Against Fate is in development. It will be part of Season Pass 2.

Lunala and Solgaleo will come to Pokemon GO this week. Niantic announced the Pokemon Sun and Moon legendaries will join as part of the Astral Eclipse event. That will run November 23-28, 2022. This is the final Cosmog evolution, which means people will be able to evolve Cosmoem into one of the two in Pokemon GO when they have enough candy and meet certain requirements. Cosmog debuted in Pokemon GO back in September 2022 with the Season of Light event and A Cosmic Companion Special Research, and in October 2022 could evolve it into Cosmoem. This involves getting 25 Cosmog candies. This again happens as part of A Cosmic Companion. Niantic's update confirms that the final form depends on when you choose to evolve Cosmoem in Pokemon GO. First, you need to get 100 Cosmog candies. Niantic didn't note how this will be possible yet, but did note the A Cosmic Companion storyline will continue once Astral Eclipse starts. Evolving during the night in Pokemon GO will give you Lunala, while daytime evolutions will give someone Solgaleo. Finally, new avatar items based on Lunala and Solgaleo will appear. Lunala pants and wings will appear. So will a Solgaleo-inspired mask and pair of shoes. There will also be Galaxy Socks. Pokemon GO is available on Android and Apple iOS devices, and people can evolve Cosmog and Cosmoem into their final Lunala and Solgaleo evolution starting on November 23, 2022.

People will soon get a chance to build up their Power. Good Smile Company revealed Power, from Chainsaw Man, will join the Plamax model kit line. This means people will be able to build a static figure of her in her Public Safety Devil Hunters uniform. It will be just under eight inches tall when complete. It will debut first in Japan in May 2023. A North American release will follow in September 2023. It costs ¥7,700/$48.99. As the Chainsaw Man Power Plamax model kit isn't complete yet, there are only CG renders suggesting how it should look. The example images show that there will be two posing options. One hand part makes it look like she's throwing up the peace sign. The other allows her to hold a spear made out of her own blood. And here's a picture of how the runners should look for this Plamax model kit. It shows that there will be different colors used, so any painting will likely involve finer details. There are quite a few Power figures announced and on the way. There's a chibi Look Up version. This makes it look as though she is looking up at a person. Another makes it look like she is wielding a blood scythe. The Chainsaw Man Power Plamax model kit will arrive in Japan in May 2023 and in North America in September 2023. Pre-orders are open until December 22, 2022. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll, while the manga is localized by Viz Media.

HoYoVerse released a video teaching you how to make Golden Shrimp Balls from Genshin Impact. This is the second video in the Liyue's Cuisine Collection series. Like the first one, it combines Genshin Impact animations with a live-action cooking tutorial. You can watch the Golden Shrimp Balls tutorial for Genshin Impact here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5Dd78jiSi8 Though the video does list the ingredients, it does not give measurements. It also does not provide detailed instructions, such as the temperature of the oil or how long you should fry them for. For those who wish to actually make this at home, there are other recipes online that you can use for reference. Fried shrimp balls is a common Chinese dim sum food. As for the Genshin Impact version of the recipe, you can get Golden Shrimp Balls when you reach Reputation Level 1 for Liyue. It revives a fallen character and restores HP depending on the quality of the dish. Keqing and Xiangling play a major role in the video as a reference to the Moonlight Merriment event. It was the flagship event for Version 2.1. The event focused on Xiangling participating in a cooking contest with Keqing as one of the judges, as well as Xiangling trying to recreate a family recipe for Keqing. It is unlikely that the event will return in future versions. Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.

Sin Kiske is the next playable character coming to Guilty Gear Strive as DLC. Arc System Works announced the character's return as the second character of the Season Pass 2 DLC, after Bridget. Sin joins the roster on November 24, 2022. Check out the DLC character trailer for Sin Kiske in Guilty Gear Strive below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQoNLBJ0xSc Sin Kiske is the son of Guilty Gear OG Ky Kiske and Guilty Gear X heroine Dizzy. Being one-quarter Gear, Sin matured very quickly compared to normal humans. To ensure his safety, and privacy, Ky entrusted his care to Sol Badguy. Taking after his guardian, Sin grew up strong and untamed. Despite having an adult's physique, he's still nine years old, giving him an immature mentality. He wields a flag in battle. Arc System Works also published a "Starter Guide" video to get players acquainted with Sin's fighting style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEaM_aNtkLE Sin Kiske is a "Rush" character that specializes in overwhelming opponents at close range. Other Rush-type characters in Guilty Gear Strive include Giovanna and I-NO. Sin can deliver powerful follow-up attacks after his special moves to keep up the pressure on an opponent. Those follow-ups use a mechanic called Stamina. Stamina recharges slowly, and is required to trigger the follow-ups. Follow-ups to moves like Beak Driver can maximize Sin's capabilities and keep him in optimal distance from an opponent. Other follow-ups can push an enemy back, keeping them from retaliating effectively. He also has a powerful R.T.L. move that rockets him forward and allows him to change direction in mid-dash. The Sin Kiske DLC arrives in Guilty Gear Strive on November 24, 2022. The game is playable on PS4, PS5, and PC. Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S versions are in development.

Her standard-issue ARX200 assault rifle and Mk1 9mm sidearm also get a color scheme that matches that of the Machine Lifeforms from NieR Automata.

The costume matches the look of Nier from Act II of the story, and includes engraved skins for Maverick's M4 and AR-15.50 assault rifles and 1911 TACOPS handgun. The Rainbow 6 Siege NieR series cosmetic bundles are available for purchase. The game itself can be played on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
