With all the handheld gaming devices popping up, like the Steam Deck OLED, Lenovo Legion Go, Ayaneo Slide, and the ROG Ally, I wouldn’t blame you if you first saw the PlayStation Portable and thought, “Whoa, did Sony just make a new PSP?”
When Renita Adams puts a pot on the stove in her Virginia home, she also puts a rubber band around her wrist. The 62-year-old retiree prefers a tight band that squeezes a little bit, so she won’t forget it’s there–usually one of the colorful, stretchy rings that come wrapped around produce bundles. Her years as a…

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 100 years of creating timeless magic is at the core of Wish, its latest feature now playing in theaters.
It’s been 10 years since the Killer Instinct reboot debuted as an Xbox One exclusive, and soon you won’t need to pay anything to try to nail a combo breaker. The third installment in the fighting game series is going free-to-play. This base version of the game will include one free weekly rotating fighter and access to the single-player, local and ranked modes. You’ll be able to check it out on all platforms where Killer Instinct is available: Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.
Developer Iron Galaxy also revealed that players will be able to buy the Killer Instinct Anniversary Edition for $30. This will include every one of the 29 fighters, all premium content for the game, an XP booster, holiday accessories and more. The Anniversary Edition will replace the Definitive Edition on Xbox consoles and PC (i.e. through the Xbox app or Microsoft Store).
Of note, Iron Galaxy will drop some mature-rated content from the Anniversary Edition, namely an app that includes developer interviews and concept art, as well as access to the original two Killer Instinct games. However, folks who own a digital Definitive Edition copy will still be able to download said content after Iron Galaxy sends that version of the game riding into the sunset.
Meanwhile, owners of any version of Killer Instinct on Steam will get a free upgrade to the Anniversary Edition. As part of this shift, Iron Galaxy will stop selling individual fighters, so if you want access to the entire roster, you’ll need to pony up for the Anniversary Edition — or play Killer Instinct through Game Pass, since it’s a Microsoft-published game. That said, you’ll still have access to everything you’ve previously bought.
Iron Galaxy didn’t say specifically when the Anniversary Edition will arrive or the base game will go free-to-play. The studio says it’s in final testing ahead of the switch. While Killer Instinct may not be a title you’ve thought about too much recently, it’s as good a time as any to hop in given the current fighting game renaissance.

New research may eventually help solve a mystery relevant to holiday drinkers.
