Logitech G (Logitech’s gaming-focused storefront) is offering a fantastic deal on its most popular racing wheel set. Right now the Logitech G923 Trueforce Racing Wheel and Pedal Set is down to $299.99 after a $100 off instant discount. Apply two coupon codes “F-SHIFT” and “DRLUPO” to drop the price to $214.99 and a free Driving Force Shifter is automatically added to cart. Finally, there’s an option to add a free pair of Trueforce Racing Gloves. This is far and away the best deal I’ve seen for this racing wheel and I highly doubt we’ll find a better deal for the rest of the year. There are all brand new, ship for free, and you’re buying it directly from Logitech so you’re eligible for the excellent 2 year warranty.
Logitech G923 Trueforce Racing Wheel Set for $214.99
Includes free Driving Force Shifter and Trueforce Racing Gloves
The G923 is Logitech’s mainstream racing wheel that replaces the venerable G920/G29 racing wheels. It’s compatible with the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC platforms. New to the G923 is TrueForce technology, which can deciper the physics and audio of supported racing games and convert them to extra sensations and vibrations to the wheel rim and into your hands. The force feedback does a bang up job of making the driving experience feel real and immersive; if you want something better than this, you’d have to shell out a lot more money for a direct-drive or belt-driven wheel, like Logitech’s own $1,000 G Pro direct-drive racing wheel we reviewed.
Other than that, it’s pretty similar to the G29 (PlayStation) racing wheel. It features a hand-stitched leather racing wheel with 900 degrees of rotation, sturdy metal base, durable steel ball bearings in the shaft, gear-driven dual-force motor feedback, stainless shifter and pressure sensitive pedals. The Driving Force Shifter pairs seamlessly with your G923 wheel and pedals. It features a solid steel gear shaft, 6-speed short-throw gearbox, and leather knob and boot.
If you’re a big fan of racing games like Gran Turismo 7 or Forza Horizon 5 and you’ve been using a DualSense controller or gamepad this entire time, then this price drop might be the excuse for you to step up your immersion to the next level.

Earlier this year, Bungie revealed a Destiny 2 expansion that I can still only describe now as a head scratcher. It’s called Renegades, a Star Wars inspired expansion (quite literally as it’s been made in collaboration with Lucasfilm) that was shown off properly for the first time in a livestream earlier today. Oh, and there’s a release date for it too!
We’ve been putting a procession of 8BitDo controllers through the review process since Switch 2 launched. I’ve covered their excellent Pro 3 controller, whilst Ollie has been all over the new Arcade Stick for Switch + Switch 2 and the Ultimate 2C, which is the budget-friendly version of what I’m taking a look at today – the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.
First and foremost, for anyone who doesn’t gel with the shape of the Pro 3 controller, what you’ve got here is one that suits those lovely, soft, Xbox-controller-shaped paws you’ve developed over the years. I know for some this can be a dealbreaker, especially with how the thumbsticks sit horizontally aligned on the Pro 3, so if that has been holding you back, this may be the pad you’re after. Things under the hood aren’t showing a lot of difference otherwise.
Hello! I’m Blake from the Ironwood Studios team and we’re proud to introduce Whispers in the Woods, a major narrative and gameplay expansion to Pacific Drive.
When Pacific Drive first launched in February 2024, players joined their trusty station wagon to brave the haunting, anomaly-filled Olympic Exclusion Zone. The game’s unique blend of driving, tense exploration, and scrappy car maintenance quickly resonated with fans of car and survival games alike. Now, we are excited to bring players back to the driver’s seat and back to the Zone in Whispers in the Woods, coming later this year for Playstation 5.
Return to the Zone
Whispers in the Woods takes you on a brand-new adventure back into the Olympic Exclusion Zone. Available after your first few hours in the game, the expansion can be pursued alongside your main campaign and explores the rise of a terrifying group of anomaly obsessed fanatics hidden deep within the depths of the forests.
With their appearance, the expansion brings a change to the woods of The Zone unlike anything you’ve seen before. Not only do new anomalies roam the forests, but massive effigies adorned with cryptic symbols fill the landscape as the game’s atmosphere takes on a darker more horror focused tone.
“From the very beginning, we knew we wanted to take the mysteries of the Olympic Exclusion Zone in a new direction for this Expansion.” says Cassandra Dracott, Creative Director at Ironwood Studios. “We had heard so much feedback and so many stories about the fear people had experienced in Pacific Drive and in With Whispers in the Woods, we knew we wanted to lean hard in that direction.”
It’s not just a tonally different experience either. We’ve added an entirely new fully voiced narrative in the expansion and with it, we are able to continue building on the world of the game and the surreal nature of the Zone. We’ll leave you to theorize what happens next – but it wouldn’t be Pacific Drive if we weren’t also giving you new experiences to have with your 4 wheeled companion.
Discover Artifacts
Whispers in the Woods brings more of everything you’d hope for in a Pacific Drive expansion. New items, car parts, cosmetics, junction types, and anomalies await. We’ve even added new behaviors to old anomalies to help keep you on your toes. The largest and most significant addition however, are the brand new Artifacts.
“As you collect these mysterious objects, you will have to contend with their unpredictable car and world altering effects, forcing you to constantly adapt and change your strategy on the fly.” adds Richard Weschler, Lead Designer on Whispers in the Woods.
Created by our mysterious group of fanatics, Artifacts are the expansion’s gameplay centerpiece. Inspired by our quirk system, each Artifact is imbued with a condition and an effect said condition creates. Perhaps every time you jump, your car horn honks. Maybe when your car horn honks it also takes damage. While some may grant you strange advantages, others will add twists and turns to how you play. Artifacts can even play off of each other to create chain reactions.
It is up to you to figure out which Artifacts are the right ones for your time in the Zone. No matter what type of Artifact you and your wagon find, two things are true: collecting many of them will be critical to your time in the Whispering Woods, and if you hold too many, much more dangerous things deep within the forests will slowly awaken.
A major expansion for new and returning players
Since its release, we are proud to have more than one million players globally. In the 18 months since launch, we’ve continued to support the game with multiple free updates like April 2025’s Endless Expeditions update, which added endless trips into the Zone, doubled the size of the radio tracklist, and added the suspend run feature.
Whispers in the Woods however, is the studio’s most ambitious update yet. With hours of new gameplay and story content, plus an explorable region close to one-third the size of the base game, the expansion represents a significant step forward for both new and returning fans and we’re incredibly excited for everyone to experience it.
“We see this release as both for our longtime players and a welcome sign for newcomers,” Cassandra adds. “If you’ve been driving through the Zone since day one, Whispers in the Woods is going to add a brand new, more terrifying take on the Olympic Exclusion Zone. And if you’re just starting out, this expansion marks the best version of the game to date with new systems and content to find and explore.”
Whether you’re returning to your familiar station wagon or starting fresh on your first trip into the Zone, Pacific Drive: Whispers in the Woods offers a haunting new journey and we can’t wait for you to experience it later this year on Playstation 5.
Star Wars fans, here’s a great deal on a LEGO Star Wars bundle that you don’t want to miss out on. Right now Walmart is offering the LEGO Star Wars AT-ST Walker (75417) and LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Helmet (75304) together for just $210. Purchased separately you would have to pay $280, so you’re saving about 25% off. This is sold and shipped exclusively from Walmart directly with free delivery.
LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader and AT-ST Walker Bundle for $210
The LEGO Darth Vader Helmet is part of LEGO’s build-to-display Star Wars helmet collection that also includes Boba Fett, The Mandalorian, Stormtropper, and Luke Skywaker (Red Five). It measures 8″ high, 5.5″ wide, and 5.5″ deep and is comprised of 834 brick pieces. The build is challenging yet enjoyable as you put together details like the internal life support system and breathing apparatus. The finished piece can be mounted on an included stand with placard. As a display piece, it is well worth a spot on your shelf.
The LEGO AT-ST Walker is part of the Ultimate Collector Series – or UCS – sets. The UCS models are the largest and most detailed Star Wars sets that LEGO produces and an obvious pick for collectors. They are also technically challenging build that are aimed at adult (18+) builders. The AT-ST measures 14.5″ high, 8.5″ long, and 8.5″ wide and is comprised of 1,513 bricks. It has plenty of moveable elements for poseability, like a rotating turret head, working shutters over the viewports, and adjustable laser cannons. A unique AT-ST driver minifigure is also included.
LEGO announced a new Death Star set
LEGO recently unveiled its most expensive set yet. The new LEGO Star Wars Death Star (75419) comes in at a eye-watering sticker price of $1,000. It’s comprised of 9,023 pieces and includes a whopping 38 minifigures. Unlike the original LEGO Death Star, the new set will be a more of a diorama-style cross section build that sits nicely on a shelf when completed. Not surprisingly it is part of LEGO’s Ultimate Collector Series.

Keep your hands at 10 and 2, drivers, as Ironwood Studios has just offered up a first look at Pacific Drive’s first big expansion, Whispers in the Woods. Where the survival game has a sort of Stalker-but-you’re-in-a-car kind of feel, this DLC looks like it’s fully leaning into some horror vibes. The first half of the trailer has some real ’70s era, found footage horror vibes, which feels laser targeted at my artistic proclivities.
Prices will continue to fluctuate in the coming weeks and months, but with the full set out now, we’ve also been taking a deep dive into all the prettiest, priciest cards from it.
While the first-ever Iconic cards are, understandably, fetching sizeable fees, plenty of the other “Enchanted” cards are also reaching hundreds of dollars already, and are definitely worth chasing as well. Using data from our friends at TCGPlayer, here are the most expensive cards in the Fabled set of Disney Lorcana, and where to find them.
Powerline – World’s Greatest Rock Star (Enchanted)
Aside from the fact that he turns song cards into card draw and cheats out big cards, the artwork is awesome (and he’s the only Goofy Movie entrant on this list).
Circle of Life (Enchanted)
Sitting just above Powerline is the Enchanted version of Circle of Life, coming in at around $177.
The artwork is gorgeous, you can bring back a discarded card, and I’m always happy to see anything from The Lion King. Which brings us nicely to…
Scar – Finally King (Enchanted)
Sitting at around $205, Scar – Finally King’s Enchanted version has more amazing artwork showing the one-time ruler of Pride Rock chatting to a skull and smirking.
He buffs allies, then turns that into card draw, which is basically what you’d expect from the self-centred brother of Mufasa.
Winnie the Pooh – Hunny Wizard (Enchanted)
Reprints are great ways to lower the cost of cards, but this Fabled version of Winnie the Pooh – Hunny Wizard is going for $220.
And you know what? We get it. Look at him, all happy with his borderless treatment.
He’s another reprint, and looks incredible. His value is rising, too, with a market value of $250 but already selling for more than that.
Lilo – Best Explorer Ever (Enchanted)
This adorable Lilo – Best Explorer Ever card isn’t a reprint, and grants Challenger to allies. The standard artwork, with Stitch lurking in the background, is great, but this one makes him even harder to spot so that Lilo can be the clear focus in her spacesuit.
The card is sitting at $255, marginally more than Hades, but it does seem to be dropping slightly.
Belle – Accomplished Mystic (Enchanted)
Belle – Accomplished Mystic marks the first of a quartet of ‘classic’ Disney characters that finish off this list, and she’s a reprint of a Super Rare that appeared in Ursula’s Return.
She’s at the $315 mark right now, but has sold for under $300.
He’s not only adorable in this picture, but he’s handy to have if you’re looking to rack up lore with his abilities.
Minnie Mouse – Sweetheart Princess (Iconic)
Surprising no one, it’s the new Iconic artwork that takes the top two spots of our list, starting with Minnie Mouse – Sweetheart Princess.
She’ll set you back around $865 right now, but has sold for around $120 less than that. Will she climb further, or is that a sign of an imminent drop? We’ll know more in the coming days.
Mickey’s the most expensive card on this list by some distance, and will set you back $1,022. Still, he’s sold for just shy of $900, so there’s some wiggle room.
Being one of the first iconic cards, and an absolutely beautiful looking one at that, I’m not surprised this is demanding a pretty penny right now. At the time of writing, it’s the most valuable Disney Lorcana card ever.
Where to Buy Disney Lorcana’s Fabled Set
Thankfully, you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to get started with Lorcana.
The Fabled set sees the debut of a new Collection Starter Set to help you get started with collecting the heroes and villains of the Disney universe, and it includes 4 booster packs (a total of 48 cards), a portfolio binder for Mickey Mouse – Brave Little Tailor, a collector’s guide, and a Glimmer Foil variant of Tinker Bell – Giant Fairy.
Then there are preconstructed decks, Illumineer’s Trove boxes, and boosters you can buy, too.
Disney Lorcana – New Epic and Iconic Rarities Explained
As I mentioned, Disney Lorcana has expanded its rarity system in the new Fabled set with two new tiers: Epic and Iconic. Epic cards sit between Legendary and Enchanted, making them rarer than the former but easier to find than the latter.
These are alternate versions of existing cards that reuse Standard artwork but get a premium treatment, including an “open air” frame, rainbow foiling, and glossy highlights.
Iconic cards, meanwhile, now take the crown as Lorcana’s rarest chase cards. Only two appear per set, each featuring alternate full-card artwork that continues behind the text box, along with a raised 3D hot stamp effect and a shimmering custom lore star foil.

Jump Space! It’s a game with a name that’ll have you thinking, “wait, that’s not what it was called, was it?” And you’d be right about that, as due to some trademark problems, the game was rebranded from Jump Ship to its new name Jump Space back in August. Later that same month, developer Keepsake Games announced the game would be launching into early access September 19th. And now, as in today September 9th now, Keepsake Games have shared an early access roadmap for the game, as well as how much it’ll cost you.
UFO 50, the excellent retro compilation for Switch, has received a fresh update to bring it up to version 1.7.8.30.
