The 7 best new movies and shows to stream this weekend

The five years since Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, animation has seen an explosion of American animation studios experimenting with style, some specifically inspired by Spider-Verse’s look, and others from animators taking the film’s success as an opportunity to try their own bold stylistic directions. Jennifer Lee, Disney animation chief creative officer and the co-director of Frozen and Frozen II, is crystal clear about being in the latter category. Speaking to Polygon at a Los Angeles preview for Disney’s upcoming movie Wish, which she co-wrote and executive produced, she said she isn’t simply following Spidey’s web-swinging path.

Amid the litany of awesome Prime Day gaming deals out there are some truly brilliant PS5 games. From Elden Ring to Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, some of the biggest games on the flagship Sony console are going for record prices or very, very close to them. There are a few that I know I'd be buying if they weren't already in my collection, though. 

We've seen PS5 deals revving their engines for the first time this year, but nothing has come close to the value on offer this Prime Day at Dell. You can grab a free $100 gift card with the new generation console right now, essentially bringing the $499.99 MSRP down to $399.99. 

Spearfishing and sushi restaurant managing indie RPG Dave the Diver was my surprise delight from last year, and proper release saw everyone else at PC Gamer agreeing with me. It's also poised to get its first real content update since release this month, October, bringing greater diversity to some dives, a fresh new quality of life update, and some straight-up crustaceans.

Looking for something new to stream this weekend? We've got you covered. This week's TV offerings see the return of several beloved shows: Loki season 2 premieres on Disney Plus, which sees Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson return to the TVA. Plus, French thriller series Lupin returns for Part 3 on Netflix and pirate comedy Our Flag Means Death season 2 is now on Max. 

It turns out forgetting to change the default logins on an IT system is one of the top cybersecurity mistakes that US companies and organizations are consistently making. 

A new Sony Pictures app has been added to PS4 and PS5, offering free movies to PS Plus Premium and Deluxe subscribers.

UK retailers are currently offering some of the best PlayStation 5 deals to date.

Brian Jacques' Redwall books were my greatest obsession between the ages of approximately eight and 12-years-old. They're sort of The Lord of the Rings, but with talking woodlands animals, and their appeal for me consisted of three things 1) comedy British accents, 2) big fights, and 3) big feasts. I couldn't get enough, to the point that I tried to have one of my unborn siblings named after a badger warcry from the novel Salamandastron.

Resident Evil creator and RE4 director Shinji Mikami teams up with Goichi ‘Suda 51’ Suda, the man behind Let It Die and Lollipop Chainsaw, for a slick, psychedelic, and terrifying Capcom horror game about invisible monsters and two gods fighting for control of reality. It’s an excellent pitch, but somehow, in the history of the greatest games ever made, Killer7 is often forgotten. Originally released in 2005, if you haven’t played it yet, or need an excuse to go through it again, you can get Killer7 right now for just under $5, and even play it on Valve’s superlative handheld the Steam Deck.

World of Warships: Legends is launching a new collaboration with anime Arpeggio of Blue Steel — Ars Nova Steel and adding some other new content in its latest update. The October update brings several new ships, a Halloween event starts, new ships in early access, and more to unlock.

iOS 17.1 beta update: Just days after Apple unveiled its iPhone 15 series at its Wonderlust event in California, it also released iOS 17 globally.

It was finally released on September 18, debuting with new features such as Live Voicemail, Contact Posters, and more.
