We can now also be certain what the console will come with, as listed on its retailer description, we can expect the console, controller, a full copy of Cyberpunk 2077 on September 17, and “the first expansion will be delivered directly to the console upon release.” This is worth taking note of. If you want to see even more of the console and controller, check out the gallery we’ve included below.

The console features custom panels that look straight out of the game’s futuristic setting, alongside an ominous glow in the dark message on the console that reads “No Future,” which matches up quite nicely with the previously see Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox controller. The controller features Johnny Silverhand’s black and silver color scheme, along with touches of red.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare And Warzone Add “Black Lives Matter” Splash Screen
Players who boot up Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone now will be prompted to download an update, and it’s added a new splash screen to the game announcing support for Black Lives Matter. The screen, reported on by The Verge, contains a message for the Call of Duty player community.
“Our community is hurting,” the screen reads. “The systemic inequalities our community experiences are once again center stage. Call of Duty and Infinity Ward stand for equality and inclusion. We stand against the racism and injustice our Black community endures. Until change happens and Black Lives Matter, we will never truly be the community we strive to be.”
The screen will appear for all players upon booting the game, and The Verge reports that it is also appearing on loading screens and when you switch between different modes.
While Call of Duty has long been notorious for having many toxic players, this is one of several efforts being taken or promised right now to address racism among the player base. Season 4 has been delayed following the murder of George Floyd, and Infinity Ward has promised to combat in-game racism with enhanced counter-measures.
Infinity Ward is one of several developers and publishers that has addressed current world events and pledged support for Black Lives Matter.
GameSpot would like to encourage readers to donate to Black Lives Matter, and to seek out black voices in media.
