    The hottest gadget of CES 2024 is a fictional headset.

    It looks like we’re getting more info on Netflix’s adaptation of 3 Body Problem tomorrow, and as part of the tease, the streamer released a short video highlighting the VR headset that’s so integral to the story. I know it’s not real, but I’m also pretty confident the sleek device would cost a lot more than an Apple Vision Pro.

    That’s your next movie night sorted.

    If you missed Ridley Scott’s Napoleon in theaters, Apple says it’ll be available to rent and purchase digitally starting on January 9th. There’s still now word on when it’s hitting Apple TV Plus, but Apple’s other big historical epic — Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon — will be streaming there starting January 12th.

    The final season of a TV show? I’ve seen stranger things.

    The fifth (and final) chapter of the Stranger Things saga is officially underway. Netflix confirmed that season 5 of the retro sci-fi series is in production starting today, though that’s about all we know about it right now (aside from the casting of Linda Hamilton). In the meantime, you can stare at this cast photo in hopes of sussing out some clues.

    Buster Sword makes me feel good.

    OK, I totally get that an Apex Legends collab with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth sounds strange, but there’s also some really cool stuff here. That means cute FF7-themed skins, of course, but more importantly you can wield Cloud’s iconic Buster Sword in Apex. The crossover event kicks off on January 9th.

    Returning to the shadows.

    The end is nigh for the vampire quartet (or quintet, depending how you look at it) in What We Do in the Shadows. Vulture reports that the upcoming sixth season on FX will be the show’s last. No word yet on when it’ll air, but hopefully we get at least one more scene with Laszlo in human cosplay.

    A whole bunch of changes for Fortnite.

    Now that Fortnite is a collection of games instead of just one, the update notes are pretty packed. The most recent includes notable tweaks across all four of Epic’s in-game experiences — battle royale, Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival — and you can check out the full run-down right here.
