The Amazon Spring Sale is stacked with gaming keyboards that actually keep up with your reflexes and don’t sound like you’re punching a calculator from 1994.

A Sony property is crossing over into a Microsoft game. Sea of Thieves has received new cosmetics from the world of Destiny 2, bringing the fight against the Darkness to the high seas.
The Lightbearer cosmetics set offers new flags, ship cosmetics, a costume set, and more. In the trailer for the new set of items, you can spot various Destiny references ranging from the Drifter’s outfit to a ghost dangling off the front of a ship. The Pirate Emporium has a weath of options available to deck out your ship and sailor in Destiny cosmetics.
Sea of Thieves made its way to PlayStation last year as one of several Microsoft properties that have jumped to Sony’s console. Destiny, meanwhile, has been on Xbox and remained there through Bungie’s acquisition by Sony. While this might blur some perceived console lines, it’s a fun crossover and the Drifter’s outfit in particular suits the world of Sea of Thieves quite well.
Season 15 of Sea of Thieves recently went live, adding various new encounters, voyages, and new content to the long-running piracy experience. Rare’s game has managed to stay afloat for quite some time, and it’s even seen success on PlayStation 5, topping an EU sales chart back when it made its way to the platform.
Destiny 2, meanwhile, launched Heresy and continues to chart a path out from its big narrative conclusion in The Final Shape. The space-faring shooter has had its own recent crossovers, most notably with Star Wars.
Both games have managed to weather the changing, shifting tides of live-service game production, so it’s neat to see them pair up in this Sea of Thieves crossover. The cosmetics are live now in Sea of Thieves, though it remains to be seen if Destiny 2 will receive any Sea of Thieves content. In this writer’s opinion, they should put a big pirate boat in space. Just a thought.

If your adventures take you from Teyvat to Terminal 5, you’ll want this beast of a power bank riding shotgun. UGREEN has teamed up with Genshin Impact to drop a limited-edition Nexode 20000mAh power bank featuring the radiant Kinich design. It’s cool, powerful, and—thanks to the Amazon Spring Sale — cheaper than ever in both the US and UK.
Want some codes for extra cash to spend on animations, styles, emotes, and more in Azure Latch? We’ve got you covered. In this article, you’ll find all the currently working codes for the game, so be quick to redeem them and bag that cash.
You’re in luck! We couldn’t find any expired codes for Azure Latch at the moment, so you’ve still got time to rack up the cash with the above codes.
Codes are often case-sensitive, so to avoid any errors, we’d recommend copying the codes directly from this article into the redemption bar in Azure Latch. We test them all before we upload them here to make sure they’re valid for you.
If you have copied them from here, and they’re still not working, it could be one of two things. You may have accidentally copied over an extra space, so be sure to check for that first. The other option is the code may have just expired.
We check for codes daily, so you can visit this article to see when new Azure Latch codes are released. There’s also a dedicated Discord Server, that you can visit to look for code announcements yourself.
Whether you’re a fan of anime or sports games, Azure Latch is likely to be a game you’ll want to check out. The 5v5 football game is another Roblox experience that takes inspiration from the popular manga and anime series Blue Lock. For this one, however, you’ll get super abilities that you can use to make those tackles, passes, and goal attempts a bit more exciting.

The wait is over! Masters of Light is now one of the first games to introduce full hand tracking on PlayStation VR2, pushing the boundaries of immersive gameplay like never before. As the creator of Masters of Light and co-founder of Coven, I’m beyond excited to bring this revolutionary update to PlayStation fans.
Learn specific gestures to teleport, block meteors and fight!
Imagine stepping into the world of Masters of Light and casting spells with nothing but your hands—no controllers needed. This is the power of PS VR2’s new hand tracking technology, allowing you to unleash beams of light, summon shields, and control energy like a true celestial warrior. Every flick of your wrist, every precise movement, translates into real-time spellcasting, making battles feel more intuitive, immersive, and exhilarating than ever.
Masters of Light features high energy first person combat where focus, timing and strategy are keys to victory.
When we first envisioned Masters of Light, our goal was to make players feel truly empowered. From the very beginning, we built our combat system around fluid, natural gestures—inspired by self defense moves. Now, thanks to PlayStation VR2’s advanced tracking capabilities, players can experience the game as we originally imagined: with pure hand movement, free from controllers.
Frantic hand tracking moves will keep you physically engaged in the fights. You WILL break a sweat!
At Coven, we’ve been developing hand-tracking games for years, pushing the technology forward with every project. Bringing this feature to PS VR2 was an incredible challenge, but also a dream come true. This would have not been possible without the support of our incredible porting team, VR Monkey. Here is what they have to say:
“Implementing the hand tracking in two and a half months was a challenge, since officially Unity hasn’t added PS VR2’s hand tracking support. So one of our developers (Thanks Eric Gregory) created an in-house plugin that took advantage of Sony’s new state of the art tracking system to make hand tracking run at 60 frames per second (currently the highest available on the market).
After that, we could harness the powerful gesture detection system of the PlayStation 5 to recreate all of the game’s powers and interactions in a week’s work.
We’ve refined the system to make sure every motion is responsive, every action feels powerful, and every battle is a seamless blend of strategy and skill.“
New enemies and superpowers are unlocked as players progress in the game, climaxing in insane battles that will leave you breathless.
With this new update, Masters of Light now offers multiple control options:
Whether you prefer the tactile power of controllers or the freedom of true hand-tracked gameplay, the choice is yours.
Use the “shockwave” gesture to push away all the enemies at once. Reactivate ancient crystals with your inner light to open Gates to other constellations.
If you haven’t joined the fight yet, now is the perfect time. Step into the role of The Wanderer, a being of light battling against the encroaching darkness. Travel across stunning cosmic landscapes, uncover ancient secrets, and challenge the black hole’s core in a fight to save the galaxy. With 36 action-packed levels, leaderboards, and the intense Grand Master difficulty mode, there’s always a new challenge to conquer.
Hidden in the 36 levels are ancient ruins that can be reactivated by the player to unlock pieces of the lore.
Hand tracking on PS VR2 marks a huge leap forward for virtual reality, and we’re honored to be among the first to bring it to PlayStation fans. Whether you’re a longtime VR player or diving in for the first time, Masters of Light delivers an experience that’s intuitive, thrilling, and truly next-gen.
Are you ready to wield the power of light with your own hands? Masters of Light is available now on PlayStation VR2—download the update and step into a new era of VR gaming today!
