Arc Raiders picks up best multiplayer at the Game Awards. Well deserved for the team at Embark, who also did amazing multiplayer work with The Finals. I’m truly obsessed with Arc Raiders 👍

Back in March I was sent a press release about the Nex, stating that
“In just its first holiday season last year, Nex Playground sold nearly 150,000 units, completely selling out on Black Friday at Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy”
I failed to investigate further

US best-selling hardware SKUs for week ending Nov 22, 2025, ranked on units sold:
1) NS2 Mario Kart World Bundle
2) NEX Playground Interactive Gaming System
3) PS5 Slim Digital 1 TB
So that's neat.
