Bethesda is now accepting pre-orders for a new series of five-inch Vault Boy collectible bobbleheads inspired by the upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout 4.

The new lineup follows up on a previous series of Vault Boy figurines, though the newest bobbleheads are smaller and less expensive than their predecessors. Figures will begin shipping on November 13th.

Currently, Bethesda’s online store offers the new five-inch Perception, Energy Weapons, Strength, Lock Pick, Melee Weapons, Endurance, and Repair Vault Boy bobbleheads for $15 apiece, plus shipping. Also on offer are seven-inch Arms Crossed, Perception, Strength, Endurance, and Intelligence bobbleheads for $20 each.

Vault Boy is an iconic mascot figure that plays a significant role throughout the Fallout series. Vault Boy illustrations accompany character stats and abilities, giving players the ability to weigh upgrades and status effects at a glance.

Vault Boy’s next scheduled appearance is in Fallout 4, an open-world RPG sequel premiering for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC platforms later this month. Publisher Bethesda promises an array of new features and improvements for the sequel, including town-building elements and voiced player characters.

Bethesda has released a lineup of Fallout-themed merchandise in the weeks leading up to Fallout 4‘s release, including the limited edition Nuka Cola Quantum soft drink from Soda Jones. Replicating the beverage’s distinct appearance as featured in previous Fallout games, Nuka Cola Quantum is bright blue in color, and arrives in appropriately themed packaging.

Bethesda additionally rolled out content updates for its Fallout mobile app Fallout Shelter. The app’s latest update adds cloud saving functionality, expanded player stats, and a new Survival Mode for expert players. Fallout Shelter challenges players to maintain a productive ecosystem of vault-dwelling apocalypse survivors, assigning crew to perform research and repairs as necessary.

Fallout 4 will launch digitally and at retail for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PCs on November 10th.

Is Rust cross-platform?
Yes, but there's levels to this.
Rust player running by buildings.

Rust is the kind of survival game where choosing the right server matters almost as much as choosing the right weapon. This also reflects on the platform of your choice. If you're you're friends are spread across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, you’ll want to know exactly who can play together before anyone starts building a base.

The answer to the question is simple in one way and annoying in another. Rust supports crossplay between PlayStation and Xbox players, but PC players cannot play with console players. So yes, there is cross-platform support, but only inside the console version of the game.

Is Overcooked 2 cross-platform?
Cross-play on Overcooked 2 exists, but the answer is a bit complicated.

Overcooked 2 is a great game to play with friends, provided everyone is ready for the shouting that comes with it. One person is trying to chop vegetables, another is panicking over burning rice, and someone else has probably fallen off the edge of the map with the only clean plate.

Naturally, it works best when the whole group can jump in together. But that gets a little confusing if your friends are spread across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Overcooked 2 has been released on several platforms, but cross-platform support depends heavily on which version of the game you’re playing.

As Steam Deck fires up handheld costs, Acer Nitro Blaze Link limits you to stream at just $180
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Gaming handhelds have become surprisingly expensive. Between premium models like the Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go, getting a portable gaming machine often means spending hundreds of dollars before you’ve even bought a game.

Acer’s latest idea takes a very different approach. Announced alongside a flood of new products, the Nitro Blaze Link is a handheld gaming device that doesn’t actually run games itself. Instead, it streams them from a compatible gaming laptop, turning your Predator or Nitro notebook into a personal gaming server. If that sounds familiar, that’s because the concept isn’t entirely new. Tools like Steam Link, Moonlight, and Parsec have been doing similar things for years. What Acer is betting on is convenience.
