In GameSpot’s NBA 2K20 impressions, critic Kevin Wong wrote about how the new game’s story mode attempts to have a social conscience, leaving behind the awkward attempts at humour and “hip” dialogue of previous entries. While it doesn’t quite stick the landing, Wong wrote that the basketball gameplay is still as great as it always is.

“Is it even possible to have a truly woke narrative in a game so relentlessly money and fame-driven? Perhaps not.” Wong wrote. “But NBA 2K20 asks you to accept this melding at face value. That’s impossible, but thankfully, there’s a legacy of NBA 2K quality that makes the reconciliation less important. The story and how it’s told don’t hold up to scrutiny. But the gameplay, honed from years of incremental development and effort, always does. NBA 2K20 is, even in its contradictions, an excellent facsimile of the NBA itself.”

Three years after launch and two years after going free-to-play, Gearbox’s Battleborn is officially shutting down. Publisher 2K Games announced that the servers will go offline in January 2021.

2K Games confirmed that it plans to “focus [its] efforts and resources on other projects” following the announcement. The company tweeted that it is “extremely proud of the work that went into the game [and] will continue to provide updates on the sunsetting of the title when appropriate.”

Until 2021, Battleborn will remain playable in some form. 2K Games clarified in a blog post that the game’s premium currency, Platinum, will no longer be purchasable after February 24, 2020. Any currency you have stockpiled can still be spent until the servers get deactivated in 2021. You will no longer be able to play Battleborn in any capacity once the servers go offline, including the game’s single-player campaign.

Battleborn has already been removed from digital storefronts like the PlayStation Store and Steam. However, the game can still be purchased from physical retailers such as Target and Walmart.

We gave the game a 7/10 in our Battleborn review, saying, “The varied cast of heroes adds longevity, but the game still feels relatively content light. With so many moving parts that never quite gel, I found plenty of things to love but just as much to feel confused by and ambivalent about.”

There are a lot of great reasons to jump into virtual reality, but perhaps the most enticing reason yet was revealed just before Black Friday 2019. Half-Life: Alyx releases next year and will be compatible with nearly every PC VR headset: Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Windows Mixed Reality. The only major headset it hasn’t been announced for is PlayStation VR–though there are still some great deals for that headset if you’re partial to the PS4.

In fact, there are some excellent Black Friday discounts for all manners of VR. Whether you’re looking for an Oculus Quest, an HTC Vive Pro, or something in between, you’re sure to find a deal on a great headset. The only device that hasn’t seen a discount is Valve’s Index, though Index owners will get Half-Life: Alyx for free once it releases. We don’t expect any discounts on the high-end headset for Black Friday, but of course, we’ll report back if anything is announced.

In addition to the headsets, there’s also a selection of game deals available this Black Friday. At the moment, we’ve only seen PlayStation VR games discounted, but you can expect Steam and Oculus to jump on the deal train soon–Steam’s Black Friday sale is expect to go live on November 26. We’ll update this article with all of the best Black Friday game deals once they’re announced.

Oculus’s Black Friday deals were announced last week, while Walmart’s Black Friday offerings and GameStop’s Black Friday sale both offer some excellent options for discounted VR.

Best Black Friday VR deals

Oculus Quest 64 GB or 128 GB + Vader Immortal bundle | $400 or $500

Available now

Truly wireless VR is quite the experience, and for Black Friday, Oculus is giving away all three episodes of Vader Immortal, an interactive Star Wars experience, with all Quest purchases. You’ll need to activate your Oculus Quest within 30 days of purchase to claim the entire Star Wars series for yourself. The promotion lasts until January 31, though you have until March 2 to activate your Quest and redeem the offer. The Quest comes in 64 GB and 128 GB storage options.

One of the best features of the Quest is being able to plug it into your PC with a USB 3.0 cable and use it as a PC-powered headset via Oculus Link. This means you’ll be ready for Half-Life: Alyx once it releases in March 2020.

Oculus Rift S | $350 ($400)

Available November 28 to December 2

The Oculus Rift S is the company’s PC-powered VR headset, which means you’ll need a PC with the hardware specs to run it and its software. However, everything you need to be ready for Half-Life: Alyx comes with your purchase, including the Touch controllers. Oculus is discounting the price to $350 for Black Friday.

HTC Vive Pro Starter Kit | $800 ($1,100)

Available from November 28 to December 1

GameStop has a number of VR deals, the first being the entire HTC Vive Pro starter kit for $800 during Black Friday. This is one of the best options for room-scale VR, especially at $300 off the regular price. It features a 2880×1660 resolution with 110 degrees for your field of view. It’s also ready to go for Half-Life: Alyx.

HTC Vive Pro headset | $600 ($800)

Available from November 28 to December 1

If you already have an HTC Vive, you can simply upgrade to the Vive Pro headset. GameStop has it on for $600 during Black Friday, and if you’re looking for an even better experience with Half-Life: Alyx, this is the way to go.

HTC Vive Cosmos | $600 ($700)

Available from November 28 to December 1

The HTC Vive Cosmos is HTC’s attempt at a headset with inside-out tracking–just like the Quest, you don’t need any sensors for it to work. However, you still need to power the Cosmos with a PC, so you won’t have a completely wireless experience. It’s ready for Half-Life: Alyx, and GameStop’s discounting it to $600 for Black Friday.

Samsung HMD Odyssey+ | $230 ($500)

If you’re looking for more affordable VR, then Windows Mixed Reality headsets are worth taking a look at. The Samsung HMD Odyssey+ supports both Windows MR and Steam VR, so you’ll be able to play Half-Life: Alyx once it releases. The Microsoft Store has it discounted to $230 for Black Friday.

PlayStation VR Mega Pack with five games | $200 ($300)

Available now

Unfortunately, Half-Life: Alyx has not been announced for PlayStation VR, but that doesn’t mean Sony’s headset isn’t worth buying. PlayStation VR features a lot of awesome exclusive VR games, including Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Everybody’s Golf VR, and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. In fact, those three games are bundled with the PS VR Mega Pack, in addition to Skyrim VR and PlayStation VR Worlds. The bundle contains the headset, PlayStation Camera, and the five aforementioned games for only $200 this Black Friday.

PlayStation VR with Blood & Truth, Everybody’s Golf VR | $249

Available November 28 to December 2

The Oculus Go is a completely portable headset that excels in viewing media–watching movies and shows with Netflix VR, YouTube VR, and more. It’s a great gift for VR newcomers uninterested in hardcore gaming. This Black Friday, it’s going for $150 for the 32 GB version or $200 for the 64 GB version.

Black Friday PlayStation VR game deals

The PlayStation Direct store has some deals on PS VR games, though you do need to be subscribed to PlayStation Plus to get the deal price. Alternatively, the PlayStation Store has a few deals that don’t require PS Plus–some games may receive greater discounts for those with PS Plus subscriptions.

Call of Duty: Mobile launched with controller support, but it was hastily pulled from the game. At the time, Activision mobile VP Chris Plummer said it would continue to be tested with a select portion of players, and now the feature has returned. In an update, the company explained how the feature now works.

Right now the game only supports official PS4 DualShock 4 (except first-generation) and Xbox One controllers. It warns that using non-supported controllers could impact functionality, but further updates may add more controller support. Controllers only work during a match, so you need to use the native touch controls to navigate menus. You can modify your settings in the “Controller” section of the settings menu, which had previously been replaced with an “Other” section when the feature was yanked from the game.

You’ll be matched up against other players using controllers, and touch users will be matched with other touch users. Plummer had previously indicated that if controller support came back, it would keep players separated this way in the interest of fairness and game balance.

Though the controller support is welcome for many players, GameSpot’s CoD Mobile eview found the touch controls surprisingly intuitive and easy to use, without compromising the skill required for competitive play.

“Beyond its messy microtransaction menus and the slight time-saving purchases, there’s not much else in Call of Duty Mobile that detracts from its faithful recreation of the exhilarating and fast-paced multiplayer action of the core series,” Alessandro Barbosa wrote. “It’s flexible and easy-to-use control scheme mitigates the lack of controller support, and its celebration of the best modes and maps the Black Ops and Modern Warfare series have produced makes it a pleasure to line up game after game.”

The update also packed another surprise for fans: a limited-time Zombies mode.
