Amazon continues to bolsters its sports offerings, this time by nabbing regional streaming rights for the NHL’s Seattle Kraken. Starting next season, Prime Video will be home to the team’s “non-nationally televised” games in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska, including “preseason, regular season, and the first round of playoffs.” Bad news for subscribers if the Kraken make a deep run in 2025.

Nintendo has updated its subscription service with Extreme-G, a futuristic racing game with gravity-defying tracks, and Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls, where you play as... bouncing animal spheres. Truly, an update with something for everyone.

Unfortunately this X-Men ‘97-themed Xbox is only available through a sweepstakes, which is disappointing since reading the comic book panels would be great for killing time while your controller updates.

If Nintendo’s recent showcase didn’t satisfy your need for indie game news, here comes Microsoft. The company just announced that its next ID@Xbox Digital Showcase will take place on April 29th, and will feature “another batch of hotly anticipated indies.” Of course, there’s one specific game we’ll all be looking out for.

Not only is the first song called “Fortnight” (ignore the typo), but the lyrics from “So High School” reference both GTA and the beloved LucasArts adventure game Full Throttle. Curiously it’s not capitalized, but Swift does seem to be teasing a sequel.
