Two New Friday The 13th 4K Steelbook Blu-Rays Are Up For Preorder At AmazonFriday the 13th is getting a duo of new 4K Blu-ray SteelBook releases next month. The 2009 remake 4K Blu-ray was originally released as a limited edition back in 2024, but swiftly sold out. Luckily, a new reprint is available preorder at Amazon for $37.49 (was $50). Then there's the Friday the 13: Part 2 45th Anniversary Edition 4K SteelBook, which comes with a handful of new bonus features, available to preorder for $24.49 (was $31). Both titles will release simultaneously on February 3, 2026. The Friday the 13th franchise is one of the most iconic slasher series in the history of the medium, spanning 12 movies and even a handful of video game adaptations . We've seen Jason go from his backwoods roots to New York City, and even a short stint in space (yes, really). The 2009 remake retells the original story well, hitting every big story beat, ridiculous kill scenes, and the twist in a very faithful way. Friday the 13th: Part 2 is a direct follow-up to the first one, following a new group for Jason to stalk. Both movies come in premium SteelBook cases, and the remake reprint includes brand-new cover art by artist Gary Pullin, reversible -- one side features the retro look of the original, while the other is the original poster for the remake. If you're unfamiliar, SteelBook cases are roughly the same size as a typical plastic Blu-ray case but much sturdier, and they often feature alternate art and other physical bonuses. For physical media collectors, the spines look really nice on a bookshelf, and these two horror movies are no different. More Friday the 13th 4K Blu-ray Editions: Amazon has a few other Friday the 13th movies available at discounted prices, as well. You can pick up both the standard edition and Limited Edition SteelBook version of the 1980 original film for $13 (was $28) and $28 (was $31), respectively. Jason Goes to Hell , the ninth movie chronologically, is over half off on Amazon, currently down to $22.79 (was $50). Jason X , the infamous space-faring slasher, is also on sale. You can pick it up for $23.59 (was $50). Friday the 13th (1980) -- $13 ( $28 ) Friday the 13th (1980): SteelBook Edition -- $28 ( $31 ) Friday the 13th: Part 2 - 45th Anniversary Edition -- $27 ( $31 ) | February 3 Friday the 13th (2009) Reprint -- $37.49 ( $50 ) | February 3 Jason Goes to Hell Limited Edition -- $23.59 ( $50 ) Jason X Limited Edition -- $22.79 ( $50 ) Sign up for GameSpot's Weekly Deals Newsletter:

Rocket League Just Did Something It Hasn't Done In 5 YearsRocket League released back in 2015, but it's still performing exceptionally well and just recently surged to new heights not seen in years, at least in terms of concurrent players. Developer Psyonix announced that Rocket League reached more than 900,000 concurrent players across platforms on Friday, January 23. "Today has been a wild ride," the studio said of the achievement. Rocket League apparently surpassed 1 million concurrents over the weekend , and that's the highest concurrent-player count for the free-to-play game in five years. It's not immediately clear what drove the recent surge in Rocket League players. People are pointing to streamer Jynxzi playing the game recently, but there could be any number of factors contributing to Rocket League's popularity. Continue Reading at GameSpot

Sonic And The Black Knight - Part 3 | Super Replay Sonic the Hedgehog is one of the most iconic characters in all of video games, but not all of his games were hits. Sonic and the Black Knight is allegedly one of those games, but associate editor Charles Harte remembers playing it as a nine-year-old and feeling like it might be the coolest game of all time. Nearly 17 years later, we're revisiting this medieval adventure to see whether or not he was correct. Originally released on March 13, 2009, Sonic and the Black Knight is the second and final game in the now-abandoned Sonic Storybook Series, which began in 2007 with Sonic and the Secret Rings. Both games see Sonic get sucked into the worlds of classic folklore, with Black Knight whisking him into the world of Arthurian legend. Armed with the legendary blade Caliburn, he embarks on a quest to save the kingdom. Critics at the time of release were less than enthusiastic about the outing; Sonic and the Black Knight was released to mostly poor reviews, including a 5/10 on page 87 of issue 193 of Game Informer . Join Charles Harte and Marcus Stewart as they wield a Wii remote and travel back in time to the mythical days of 2009. You can tune in live each Friday on Twitch or YouTube at 12 pm PT/3 pm ET, or check out past episodes below: Part 1 - Starting a Medieval Marathon Part 2 - Attempted Regicide Part 3 – Merlina The Mastermind
