Marvel Rivals recently introduced a controversial new item for competitive play: the Chrono Shield Card. This is, effectively, a more powerful, if rarer, item that allows players to prevent point loss after losing ranked matches. In other words, it allows you to stay at higher ranks for longer, even after a bad losing streak. The introduction of this item has met with controversy from Marvel Rivals players, many of whom accused the game of pay-to-win practices. The game's official social media channels later released a statement of clarification claiming that Chrono Shield Cards wouldn't be available for purchase. View the full article

SAG-AFTRA has filed an unfair labor practice charge over Fortnite's use of an AI-generated voice mimicking James Earl Jones as Star Wars' Darth Vader.

Fortnite's Star Wars season has just dropped its biggest new skin yet from a galaxy far, far away — and stunned fans by locking it behind a 1.28 million XP grind. Darth Jar Jar became available to buy from Fortnite's Shop over the weekend, but only after you earn the ability to do so. And even then, after accruing that 1.28 million XP, Darth Jar Jar still costs 1500 V-Bucks (around $13). Fortnite has locked skins behind an XP requirement before, but only done so once in recent years and not with a skin that had been anticipated as one of the key cosmetic releases of this shortened Star Wars season. Several weeks in, there's now less time for players to get the XP needed to nab Darth Jar Jar (Fortnite's Star Wars season ends on June 7), and anyone who had managed to finish their battle pass already now has a fresh chunk of level grinding to go. "I was so hyped for this skin and was fine with it being behind a pay wall, after all it is just another skin," wrote one fan on reddit, in a long thread dedicated to Darth Jar Jar's release. "But this whole locked behind an XP wall is ridiculous. You want me to earn the right to give you money? I immediately closed the game." Another common complaint is the fact that Darth Jar Jar has been released alongside a regular Jar Jar Binks skin, which does not have an XP requirement but still costs a separate 1500 V-Bucks. Together with the various accessories for both Sith and Gungan variants of this skin, you could choose to pay 6,500 V-Bucks for everything Jar Jar Binks. Which is a lot. "Regular Jar Jar alone is 20 dollars," another fan wrote. "If you want both that s**t is 52 entire **** dollars for something that ought to have just been 1 skin with 3 styles." Others, meanwhile, have countered to say that Jar Jar is simply a cosmetic option — and there's no need to buy him at all if you don't want to. Ignore him, and your Fortnite locker will be as free of the character as George Lucas wanted to be after the backlash to Phantom Menace hit. "It wasn't that hard to earn the XP took me around 8/9 hrs," wrote a third fan. "I had no plans on Saturday. I did it in 3 sittings, but all in one day. I played Rocket Racing and Ranked and did Alignment Challenges to farm as much XP as possible. "Nothing is making anyone get every item in the Shop you can just pick and choose, and the fact he was just 1500 V-Bucks when Deathstroke was 1,800 V-Bucks I wasn't bothered at all by the price. I was ******* off at first than I realised after a couple hrs that I had over 300,000 XP already." Fortnite's Star Wars season continues this week with a focus on Mandalorian warriors, and the highly-anticipated release of a new customisable Mandalorian skin in the game's Shop next. Epic Games' battle royale will conclude its time in the Star Wars galaxy with a live narrative event on June 7 — which fans believe will see them boarding the Death Star that has been hovering ominously over the game's Island since the start of the season. Earlier this month, Epic Games' ongoing feud with Apple escalated after Fortnite was "blocked" from returning to the iPhone App Store in the US. Tom Phillips is IGN's News Editor.

If you're looking for an affordable power bank that will fast charge your Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or Apple iPhone 16, then check out today's deal. Amazon has the Iniu 20,000mAh Power Bank with up to 45W of Power Delivery over USB Type-C for only $18.31 after you apply promo code "E58LOYPK". This particular model has about 800 reviews on Amazon with a 4.7 star average and a Fakespot "A" rating. Iniu 20,000mAh 45W USB Power Bank for $18.31 This Iniu power bank boasts a generous 20,000mAh, or 74Whr battery capacity. If you factor in 80% power efficiency, here are the approximate number of times you can fully recharge each gaming handheld: Nintendo Switch (16Whr) about 3.7 timesSteam Deck (40Whr) about 1.9 timesApple iPhone 16 (14Whr) about 4.2 timesApple iPhone 16 Plus (18Whr) about 3.3 times The Iniu power bank has three output ports: one built-in 45W USB Type-C cable, one 45W USB Type-C port, one USB Type-A port with up to 18W of power. The 45W of Power Delivery is enough to charge the Nintendo Switch (18W) and Steam Deck (40W) at their fastest rate. This power bank is also a solid choice for charging your Apple iPhone 16, since ChargerLAB has shown that the maximum charging rate caps at about 30W, even for the Pro Max model. The built-in cable is a popular feature on newer and generally pricier power banks because you no longer have to bring along your own USB Type-C cable. When you're on the go, the USB plug can be clipped onto the power bank to form a handy little lanyard. The cable itself is quite sturdy with a respectable break strength of 44 pounds and the lanyard loop when clipped to the power bank itself has a break strength of 13 pounds. What about the new Nintendo Switch 2? The Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5, and while you’ll obviously be able to take it on the go, Nintendo is only claiming a minimum of “2 hours” of battery life in intense games. That’s definitely enough for a morning commute, but if you want your Nintendo Switch 2 to last through longer flights or even just away from a wall outlet, you’re going to need a solid power bank. Check out our favorite power banks for the Switch 2., although I would say the Iniu power bank in this article is a solid choice in case the Switch 2 ends up being able to accept a more powerful charging output.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is a "Slow Life RPG" in which you live out 14 different lives in... hold on, record scratch and/or Grue's Plan third panel beat - let me run that premise by myself again. I have to live 14 different lives? How is that "slow"? I have a hard enough time keeping up with one life in the amateurishly designed role-playing game we call reality, with its saddening shortage of rideable dragons. Ah, but of course developers Level 5 are merely being cute with their framing. By "lives" they really mean classes or character jobs. In this blend of open world boglin basher and island town-builder, you will switch lives like you're, well, exactly like you're putting on different coats and hats, going by the trailer. Those 14 lives are split between three self-explanatory categories: under Gathering Lives we find farming and fishing, while Crafting Lives include blacksmithing, alchemy and such, and Combat Lives are all about ending them.

Despite a rocky launch and plenty of bugs for the developer to contend with, fans can't say no to freebies. View the full article
