I am pleased to hear that the System shock remake turned out great, because it had a few delays during development (we have a review here, in case you’re interested). Fortunately, if you’re looking to buy it, there’s a deal to take advantage of right now on the Epic Games Store.

Epic big sale, which lasts through June 15, gives you 25% off most games priced at $14.99 or more. For the System shock remake, the game’s regular $39.99 price drops to $29.99 at checkout. On that note, you can get 25% off up to 50 game purchases, as long as each eligible item costs $14.99 or more.

Meta announced the Quest 3 virtual reality headset this week. It’s not ready for store shelves yet; Meta plans to launch it this fall. However, we finally know it’s coming and it costs $499.99 to start. In that same news burst, Meta shared that the 128GB Quest 2 headset – still a very nice and fun gadget – will cost from $299.99 Sunday June 4. It originally launched at that same price in 2020, but that was with just 64GB of storage, and before Meta raised the price to $399.99 due to inflation.

There are a ton of great games to play, and more to come. Meta just had its annual game showcase, which it announced a reboot The 7th guest and a numerous other titles. And more good news for Quest 2 owners: Meta is releasing a software update that improves CPU and GPU performance – a remarkable thing to happen in a device that’s almost three years old.

If you love the Xbox 360 controller, but maybe your old gamepad has seen better days cosmetically, here’s a tip you might appreciate. The $49.99 Hyperkin Xenon, a wired replica of the Xbox 360 controller, launches on June 6. Previously, Hyperkin only accepted pre-orders through its own site, but it has since expanded to Amazon. There you can grab it in one of four colors: white, black, red or pink.


The best selling products on Polygon this week


This week’s best entertainment deals

It’s almost summer, so time for water adventures. Talk about making a splash, the avatar follow-up, The way of the water, will soon be released on disc (it’s been available as a digital rental for months). If you can’t wait to get the latest and wettest James Cameron epic, I recommend getting the 4K Blu-ray version from Amazon as it’s $5 cheaper than the standard Blu-ray. It includes a 4K Blu-ray, compatible with select Blu-ray players (including the latest consoles), a 1080p Blu-ray disc, and a digital copy of the movie.

The film is over three hours long and luckily, unlike theatergoers, you can just pause the film at home in case you need to go to the toilet. Still, you might get a kick out of this post we made during theatrical release, which instructed people on when it was safe to see a Na’vi over a Direhorse, so to speak, without missing out on much plot development.

Go see Spider-Man: About the Spider-Verse? Lucky you. My local theaters are completely sold out this weekend, so I’ll have to wait a bit longer. Whether you see it right away or not, you may be interested in related merchandise, including games, books, and movies that we recommend to fans. We’ve got over a dozen fun gift ideas here.

One of those items really stood out: called the hardback book The art of cinemathat analyzes About the Spider-Verse‘s look. It should be an interesting (and gorgeous) book when it launches on July 3.

It’s a great weekend for fans of great animation (who also love deals), as several Studio Ghibli Blu-ray steelbooks are priced each for about $16 at Amazon. They normally sell for $26 or so. It’s worth noting that most of the studio’s films are available through the Max streaming service (formerly known as HBO Max – I know, I’m still getting used to the name change, too).

If you’re looking for related reading, the Polygon staff dug deep into Studio Ghibli’s 2020 catalog and produced an amazing (if I do say so myself) collection of stories fans should read.

In honor of the upcoming launch of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate on June 30th, Shop Disney will offer Disney Plus subscribers early access to this… interesting clothing item. It’s the iconic fedora worn by Indiana Jones, slightly miniaturized to fit a pair of huge Mickey Mouse ears on each side. Subscribers have early access to this entry through June 8, and it costs $34.99. After that date, it will also be available to non-subscribers.
