Get A Free Google Home Mini With Spotify UK
You know what’s good? A nice freebie. Luckily, you can get a pretty cool freebie today if you’re a Spotify Premium for Family subscriber in the UK.
If you are, you can claim a free Google Home Mini. The offer works for both new subscribers and existing ones, but only until stocks last, so be quick. Also note that standard Spotify Premium members do not qualify for the deal–you must be a Premium for Family subscriber, which is an extra £5 per month and allows you to add up to five family members onto your plan. Claim your device here.
Spotify ran this promotion in the US last year, but has now decided to bring it to the UK. Google Home Mini launched in 2018 as Google’s answer to Amazon’s Echo Dot. They typically sell for £49 at retail, so getting one at no extra cost with a monthly £15 Spotify Premium for Family subscription is not too shabby.
GameSpot sister site Cnet said Google’s miniature device “stands tall as one of the best affordable smart speakers out there, along with the Amazon Echo Dot, but it doesn’t do enough to supplant the Dot at the top of the list.” Read more in Cnet’s 8.4/10 Google Home Mini review.

Jump Force DLC Roadmap Includes New Characters And More
Reception for Bandai Namco’s latest crossover fighter, Jump Force, has been fairly lukewarm. Despite the middling reviews, Japanese developer Spike Chunsoft’s committed to delivering content to the Shonen fighter, and publisher Bandai Namco has now shared a content roadmap.
Content is planned from April to August and will feature both free and paid DLC with new characters, avatar costumes, events, stages, and more. April will see the game’s first free DLC update. With it comes a Clan feature, a Vertex event, and new avatar costumes. May will feature both free and paid DLC. On the paid side, players will get legendary duelist Seto Kaiba, two unannounced playable characters, and avatar costumes and skills. Players will also get an online link mission, a raid boss event, and the World Tournament stage for the low price of free.
June’s another free DLC month–and it’s relatively light on content. Players will get a new arena event and additional avatar costumes. In July, players will get a tournament event and more avatar costumes for free.
The content roadmap rounds out in August with both free and paid DLC similar to May. Players will be able to purchase three unannounced playable characters and additional avatar costumes and skills. Further, even more avatar costumes and the Valley fo the End stage will be offered to players for free.
Check out the photo below for the full content roadmap.
In our Jump Force review, we called it “a worthy celebration of the legacy of Shonen Jump manga, but it honors its source material a little too well with how filler-heavy the middle of its story arc is, saying “there’s ample opportunity to develop new strategies and reach greater feats of combat prowess in online multiplayer.”
Jump Force is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

System Shock 3 Teaser Revealed, See It Here
The first teaser for System Shock 3 has arrived. Developer Warren Spector revealed the trailer during Unity’s Game Developers Conference keynote today in San Francisco.
You can check out the eerie teaser in the video below from Boston-based developer OtherSide.
Spector produced the original System Shock game back in the ’90s when he was working for Looking Glass Technologies. He joined OtherSide back in 2016.
“Working on System Shock was one of the most fulfilling things I’ve done in my career and it’s hard to describe how much I’m looking forward to sharing with players what SHODAN has been up to since the last game was released,” Spector said.
OtherSide is headed up by Paul Neurath, who worked on the original System Shock with Spector at Looking Glass. The first System Shock was released in 1994, with sequel System Shock 2 arriving in 1999, so it’s been quite a while since the latest mainline entry.
An enhanced edition of System Shock from Nightdive Studios was released in 2015. No release date has been announced for System Shock 3, nor do we know what platforms it’s headed to.
What do you make of the first teaser for System Shock 3? Let us know in the comments below!
