How To Watch The Grammys On PS4, Xbox One, And Nintendo Switch

The 61 Annual Grammy Awards will air live on Sunday, February 10 on CBS. But what if you want to watch through one of your gaming consoles? Whether you’ve cut the cord or you just want to watch in between gaming rounds, you can watch the award show right from your dashboard.

Both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have the CBS All Access app, which will be streaming the Grammy Awards live. A CBS All Access subscription costs $6 per month, or $10 for the commercial-free option. If you’d just like to check out the service and use it to watch the Grammys, you can sign up for a one-week free trial to gain access to the award show along with all of the other content. Keep in mind that charges will start automatically once the free trial ends, unless you manually cancel.

If you’d rather watch on Nintendo Switch, you’ll need the Hulu app instead. CBS isn’t carried in the standard Hulu line-up, but it is carried with the highest-tier Live TV package–ordinarily priced at $45 per month. Like CBS All Access, though, you can sign up for a free trial to test the service and watch the Grammys. Charges will apply automatically after the free trial ends.

The Grammy Awards will be hosted by Alicia Keys, no stranger to the awards with fifteen Grammys herself. She’ll be the first woman to host the event in more than a decade. The show will also include musical performances by Camila Cabello with Ricky Martin, Arturo Sandoval, Young Thug and J Balvin, Dolly Parton, and more. The show will begin at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET.

The Grammys will air air on CBS, the parent company of GameSpot.

New Nintendo Switch Bundle Gets You Free Eshop Credit For Whatever Games You Want

Outside of the holidays, it’s rare to find deals on Nintendo Switch hardware, but Nintendo has announced a new bundle that serves as a good entry point if you’re interested in picking the console up. The bundle goes on sale starting February 15 and includes a system with neon red and blue Joy-Cons, as well as $35 credit for its digital storefront, the Eshop.

The bundle will be available at retailers around the US and costs $300, the standard price of a Switch console. While the bonus credit can be put toward any Eshop purchase, the storefront is home to a preponderance of great–and fairly cheap–indie games, such as Golf Story, Celeste, and the recently released Advance Wars-like strategy game Wargroove.

The credit can also be used to purchase DLC, which many of Switch’s must-have titles have received. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild‘s expansion pass costs $20, as does Splatoon 2‘s single-player focused Octo Expansion. If you pick up Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, its fighters pass runs for $25 and will give you access to five of its planned DLC characters, including Persona 5’s Joker.

If you’re unsure of what to purchase with the Eshop credit, we’ve put together a gallery of the best Nintendo Switch games for $20 or less to help you decide what’s worth downloading.

Nintendo has a number of exclusive games lined up for Switch this year. The adorable platformer Yoshi’s Crafted World launches on March 29, while Fire Emblem: Three Houses arrives this spring. Luigi’s Mansion 3, an Animal Crossing Switch game, and a “core” Pokemon RPG are also slated to release in 2019, although Nintendo has yet to announce release dates for those games.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice PC Specs Revealed

Activision has revealed the PC system requirements fo From Software’s upcoming Souls-like game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice via the title’s Steam page. The minimum and recommended requirements aren’t all that different from what you needed for Dark Souls III, so if you played From Software’s 2016 Souls game on PC, you should be fine.

The minimum requirements for Sekiro are slightly higher than what they were for Dark Souls III though. For Sekiro, you need either an Intel Core i3-2100 or AMD FX-6300 processor that’s paired with 4 GB of RAM and either a Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon HD 7950 GPU. You’ll have to bump up your system’s specs to run the game on its recommended settings, obviously, but the Steam page does not reveal the difference in targeted resolution and framerate between the two.

Below, we’ve outlined the full list of both the minimum and recommended PC system requirements.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice PC System Requirements

Minimum

  • OS: Windows 7 64-bit | Windows 8 64-bit | Windows 10 64-bit
  • Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 | AMD FX-6300
  • Memory: 4 GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 | AMD Radeon HD 7950
  • DirectX: Version 11
  • Network: Broadband Internet connection
  • Storage: 25 GB available space
  • Sound Card: DirectX 11 Compatible

Recommended

  • OS: Windows 7 64-bit | Windows 8 64-bit | Windows 10 64-bit
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K | AMD Ryzen 5 1400
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 | AMD Radeon RX 570
  • DirectX: Version 11
  • Network: Broadband Internet connection
  • Storage: 25 GB available space
  • Sound Card: DirectX 11 Compatible

Sekiro is a very different take on the challenging but fair formula that From Software has developed through Demon’s Souls, the Dark Souls series, and Bloodborne. The game changes how combat works–opting for a system that focuses more on guard breaks–and also implementing both parkour and stealth mechanics. Because of the new approach to combat, boss battles will play out very differently in Sekiro as well. Sekiro’s protagonist, known as The Wolf, will also speak, and journey through a Japanese drama that utilizes flashbacks to flesh out the game’s cast of characters. There won’t be online multiplayer in Sekiro either, but this means the game will support a pause function.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice launches on March 22, and it’s coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Umbrella Academy Explained: What Is the New Netflix Superhero Series?

There’s certainly no shortage of new TV shows based on comic books in 2019. But there’s one series that seems to be on everyone’s radar this year – Umbrella Academy. Based on the comic books from Gerard Way and artist Gabriel Bá, this new Netflix series puts a darker, quirkier spin on the X-Men formula.

If you’re not sure why everyone is looking forward to the show’s debut, it’s time to brush up on all things Umbrella Academy. Here’s everything you need to know about the premise, characters, and setting of this oddball superhero saga.

Umbrella Academy Explained: The Basics

The Umbrella Academy begins when 43 superhuman infants are suddenly born to mothers who had shown no signs of pregnancy beforehand. A wealthy inventor and philanthropist named Sir Reginald Hargreeves adopts seven of these children and raises them to be superheroes at the titular Umbrella Academy. Unfortunately, with Hargreeves being a ruthless taskmaster who cares only about results, these seven children grow up to be dysfunctional, psychologically damaged heroes.

Opinion: I Miss When Battle Royales Were Boring

Battle royale as a genre continues to grow wildly out of control, and as it does new trends are starting to emerge within it. Compared to earlier BRs, the latest games are much faster-paced, usually with smaller maps that facilitate more action. And while that’s surely a positive for a lot of players, I can’t help but miss the boring stuff.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and BRs as a whole are rooted fundamentally in military sims like Arma. At the start, that meant big maps, realism-based healing and looting mechanics, and a helluva lot of walking as the norm. But games like Call of Duty: Blackout and Apex Legends have shoved the status quo further away from the sim side of things and closer to the feeling of a traditional multiplayer FPS – even PUBG is introducing smaller maps like Sanhok with similarly action-packed goals.

Avengers: Endgame Costumes Revealed

A promotion for Orville Redenbacher popcorn has given us our first glimpse at the costumes worn by the heroes in Avengers: Endgame. The image shows the looks for Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, and Hawkeye–or as he’s expected to be known, Ronin.

Ronin aside, the photo (via ComicBook) shows the heroes largely returning to their roots. Thor, Cap, and Iron Man all don pretty traditional looks. Iron Man’s suit is much more polished and spiffy than the wreckage we’ve seen in trailers so far, and Cap is back to the clean-cut star-spangled man after his darker, bearded appearance in Infinity War (RIP). Black Widow is wearing a sleek black jumpsuit, and her hair has returned to its fiery red. Hulk is the biggest departure from the norm, wearing a jumpsuit of his own that appears perfectly fitted to his massive frame.

No Caption Provided

The official synopsis suggests that the heroes will attempt to “undo Thanos’ actions and restore order to the universe once and for all, no matter what consequences may be in store.” We expected as much, given that Marvel has already begun teasing movies starring characters that are ostensibly deceased like Spider-Man. How exactly they’ll do this, and who won’t live through it, remains to be seen.

The first trailer for Avengers: Endgame suggested that Ant-Man could be instrumental to the plan, given Steve Rogers’ surprise at seeing Scott Lang appear on his doorstep. It seems that the Avengers presumed he was deceased, when a post-credits scene for Ant-Man and the Wasp revealed he was in the quantum realm during Thanos’ genocidal finger-snap.

Before Endgame hits, though, Marvel has one more hero to introduce. Captain Marvel is coming on March 8, and the post-credits sequence of Infinity War implies that Nick Fury thinks of her as his trump card. As for Endgame itself, it appears likely to be longer than any other Marvel movie to date–which makes sense given that it’s the culmination of a decade of this connected universe. Check out our breakdown of the Super Bowl trailer for more.

PS4 Game Flash Sale Is Live On PSN

PlayStation is hosting another flash sale on PSN, offering deals on some games that you may have missed during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Many of the discounts are to games that released in the fall, so you could be forgiven for having them overshadowed by all the big AAA releases of 2018.

Darksiders 3 is the long-awaited sequel, and the first entry in the series since THQ Nordic acquired the rights. It’s been marked down to $48, or you can pick up the Blades & Whips edition for $70. Similarly, Fallout 76 has been marked down to $36, and the more expensive Tricentennial Bundle is going for $48. You can also snag Monster Hunter World for $25, or its Digital Deluxe edition for $30. In each case, going for the pricier option gets you some exclusive unlocks.

Other highlights include Tetris Effect, one of our top games of 2018, for $30, Earth Defense Force 5 for $48, and Moonlighter for $12, among others. Tetris Effect will also let you try it for free this weekend on PS4, so if you like what you play you can grab it at a discount. Check out the full listing below, which is relatively short for a flash sale.

These are notably all PS4 games, with no PS3 or Vita games on the list. That appears to be another sign that Sony is slowly phasing out its attention on those platforms, as it will no longer offer games for them as freebies on PS Plus as of March. Plus members are getting a boost to their cloud storage space, though, and that perk went live today.

This is a flash sale, so the discounts don’t last long. You’ll have to make your purchases by February 11 at 8 AM PT.
