Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

"It ain’t quite Andor," Mashable's Alex Perry wrote last year, "but Jedi: Survivor is one of the better Star Wars experiences you can pay for right now." At the very least, it's a must-play if you liked its predecessor (2019's Jedi: Fallen Order); it has a more powerful story, better world design, and improved combat. The PlayStation Store has it on sale for just $53.99 ($36 off), and it's the deluxe edition, which comes with a bunch of exclusive cosmetics for Cal, his lightsaber, and plenty more.

Why we like it

Fans of 2008's Dead Space and newcomers alike should definitely have EA Motive's 2023 remake of the same game on their must-play lists. The ground-up reimagining of the horror classic comes filled to the brim with enhanced visuals, audio, gameplay, and more without sacrificing the scares and tone of the original. It's the best way to experience Dead Space, and it's currently on sale for just $39.99 — a $40 discount.

Read Mashable's review of the Nintendo Switch – OLED Model.

Nintendo's latest handheld console features a stunning OLED touchscreen display, a built-in kickstand that helps it thrive in tabletop mode, and 64GB of built-in storage — double the capacity of its older, non-OLED counterpart. It's definitely the best Switch yet (at least until the rumored Switch 2 drops) and it almost never goes on sale. However, this Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is just $339.95 for the time being.

The first-generation Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is the comfiest gaming headset we've tested: With FlowKnit memory foam ear cushions and a padded headband, you can wear it for hours at a time without getting a headache. It comes equipped with immersive THX Spatial Audio, intuitive on-ear controls, and a crystal-clear mic, and it works with PlayStation and Nintendo Switch consoles in addition to PCs.

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

The Nintendo Switch has been the US’s bestselling console for 23 straight months

Photo by James Bareham / The Verge It’s been a good two years for the Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo, the gaming tablet has been the bestselling console in the US for 23 straight months. And according to data from the NPD Group, it just had its best October ever, moving 735,926 units of both the Switch and Switch Lite in the US. The company says that represents a 136 percent increase compared to last year. To date, the Switch has sold 22.5 million units in the US, and last week Nintendo revealed that more than 68 million units have been sold globally . “We’re excited about our momentum,” says Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America’s SVP of sales and marketing. Chavez puts the company’s big October down to two main factors. One is a better supply of stock; this year in particular, it’s often been hard to find a Switch on store shelves. This has only been exacerbated by increased demand due to a combination of the pandemic and the breakout success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons . ...
