Happy Star Wars Day 2026 and May the 4th be with you all. The biggest day in the galaxy has officially arrived and with it we are now tracking a giant Amazon Star Wars sale with hundreds of collectibles, toys, apparel, games, and deep deals on loads of LEGO Star Wars sets, alongside a sizable Walmart Star Wars Day sale with over 1,000 items features and discounts starting from $8.50. Joining the release of the epic new 1:1 scale Ultimate Grogu animatronic figure, we are also getting price drops on Nintendo Switch games from $4, Xbox titles at up to 80% off, iOS and Android Star Wars classics at 60% off, and a whole lot more. All of the deals and new releases from across the galaxy will land in this Star Wars Day hub and you can scope it all out below. 

Welcome to 9to5Toys News Weekly – your go-to spot to catch up on the latest new product releases, features, and hands-on reviews. This weekly roundup collects all of the coolest new gadgets, the most interesting updates in the world of tech, and more from the past week, and organizes it into a single handy reading list for you to sift through every Sunday morning.

Today we are taking a closer look at one of the latest releases from LG that happened to win “Best Gaming Monitor at CES 2026” earlier this year – the 39-inch UltraGear evo GX9. The pre-order window and bonus extended coverage with LG Premium Care 2-yr plan for $1 offer is quickly closing alongside the brand’s ongoing 40% off sale on previously-released models. 

Update: Pre-orders are now live on both the First Edition (shipping 2026) and the Standard model (shipping 2027).

Not all Star Wars toys and collectibles are made equal. Some of them are great little shelf companions, and there’s even some full on smartphone-controlled droids out there, but then there’s this world’s first animatronic Ultimate Grogu from Hasbro and Disney. Pre-orders are set to go live at 12 p.m. ET today on the First Edition and Standard models today at Amazon from $599. 

The May the 4th Star Wars Day announcements and reveals are going into hyperdrive now, and we just got the official release date alongside a new trailer for the upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Racer. 

Update 4/29: This posted has been updated with all of the latest leaks.

In case you somehow missed it, there has been a massive leak over at Nintendo. Somebody is stealing all of the Mushroom Kingdom’s biggest secrets and leaking them all over the internet. As exciting as some of this leaked information is, I almost hope it’s all fake and Nintendo completely surprises everyone over the next few months. 

May the 4th is quickly approaching and in a “galaxy not so far away” Amazon is ready to unveil its all new new limited-edition Star Wars stands for your Echo Dot. The stands on their own are now available for pre-order starting at $39.99 while the same stands bundled with Echo Dot are also live with a nice little launch deal. 

Dbrand has just launched its latest Switch 2 accessory – a ratcheting, articulating Joy-Con holder. The new customizable grip focuses on “the one limitation” in all controller holders – fixed ergonomics. It is available now for $19.95.

Last year, head of Star Wars Day, Piaggio Fast Forward introduced the world to its real-life, G1T4-M1N1 Star Wars helper droid bot, and today it is announcing a new special edition version to bring you your very own Grogu hovering pram. 

There is definitely a leaky warp pipe somewhere within Nintendo right now, as any avid switch gamer already knows, and a new, albeit quite cryptic, rumor suggests a new 2D Zelda game announcement is all but imminent. 

April 26th is Alien Day and the dev team at Creative Assembly just dropped a new teaser for the upcoming Alien Isolation sequel. 

May the 4th is quickly approaching and that means we’re in for some LEGO Star Wars deals. It has already unveiled the new UCS Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter set with minifigures alongside 2 GWP sets, but it also appears as though the official upcoming LEGO May the 4th deals have leaked online ahead of the official announcement. 

Last fall Nomad introduced the world to its hybrid titanium Apple Watch band known as Stratos, and it’s seriously gorgeous. One of the more compelling, interesting-looking, and well-made titanium bands I have tested out and wear personally, it updated the lineup with an Icy Blue glow model back in January, and has now dropped a new Forest Green variant. 

Gaming’s “worst kept secret” will be officially revealed today when Ubisoft hits the button on today’s Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced: Worldwide Reveal Showcase very soon. 

Star Wars Day is quickly approaching and in celebration of May the 4th this year, CASETiFY is launching an all-new collection of Mandalorian and Grogu tech accessories. 

Nintendo announced the release date for the new Yoshi and the Mysterious Book on Switch 2 last month. Just after that it revealed that digital copies of the game would be $10 less expensive – much like we just saw with the new Splatoon Raiders – and now it has dropped a new overview trailer with more details on Yoshi’s first solo outing on Switch 2. 

Ubisoft will officially reveal the new Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake today and the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Collector’s Edition has already leaked on Amazon France. 

Earlier this year at CES Pioneer unveiled its all-new SPHERA in-dash CarPlay receiver and multimedia system. Fast forward to spring 2026 and the new premium in-car entertainment and connectivity system is now available for purchase. 

Not all Switch 2 accessories are made equal, some of them look like an actual Piranha Plant that double as a TV docking station for your Switch 2, charges all sorts of joy-Con pairs at the same time, features glow night lighting, and posable arms. 

Just after the new and much more affordable Amazon Ember Artline frame TVs up for pre-order, today LG is officially announcing pricing on its brand new high-end wireless W6 Wallpaper OLED TV. 

This morning Nintendo officially revealed the summer release date for the single-player Splatoon Raiders Switch 2 game. Pre-orders are now live on the Nintendo Store, but, perhaps even better is the price – it looks like digital Switch 2 games will indeed be less expensive than physical boxed copies as we suspected. 

Just after the release of its new Space Black metal 25W Qi2 MagSafe charging stand, Satechi is expanding its 2026 desktop presence with the new ChargeView 140W Desktop Charger today. It is now available for purchase at Amazon and directly from Satechi. 

Nintendo has just confirmed the Splatoon Raiders release date. This is the next in the long line of Nintendo leaks and rumors to come true – it releases this summer.

Just as we expected and just as the leakers leaked, the official Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced: Worldwide Reveal Showcase will wash ashore this week. 

Update 4/20: It’s official – Ubisoft announces worldwide reveal for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake

A full-blown Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag remake is all but imminent at this point. In fact, Ubisoft has already confirmed the existence of the new Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, folks have already seen it in action ahead of this week’s expected official reveal, and we have some details for you below – this is not just a basic remaster for modern platforms. 

Welcome to 9to5Toys News Weekly – your go-to spot to catch up on the latest new product releases, features, and hands-on reviews.

An Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake is inbound, and very soon. For me personally, it is the earlier AC games that deliver the nostalgia and fondest memories, but for many, Black Flag really hit the sweet spot and Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced is purportedly set for release this summer. 

Earlier this week, Xbox promised a dedicated first-look showcase for the new Metro 2039, and has followed through. Today’s broadcast is about to go live and it’s all waiting for you below. 

This year has been an eventful one for Pokémon Trainers already. The reveal of the mainline Gen 10 games, remakes, LEGO sets, and much more have already made headlines, but the 30th anniversary celebration isn’t over yet. Target just announced a giant new anniversary Pokémon collection loaded with toys, apparel, and more. 

Will Sony reveal a new, proper God of War game this year? It sure sounds like it will and some new leaks and rumors have surfaced suggesting the setting more details. 

Earlier this year, Amazon got in on the CES action with the reveal of its all-new Ember Artline lifestyle TV. Today, the new frame-style display with Fire TV is going up for pre-order in both sizes.

Burton Goods makes some of the nicest leather iPad cases you’ll find anywhere if you ask me. They aren’t cheap, but they are also far less pricey some of the equally as premium leather sheaths for Apple’s iPad Pro out there. Today, the brand has unleashed a new Limited Edition: Magnetic Leather Case for M4/M5 iPad Pro models and we have a nice 20% off using code BG20 at checkout too. 

Twelve South is launching the latest edition to its lineup of tech accessories today with the new CableStay. Following releases like the PowerBug and PowerCord, the CableStay takes a simple and yet practical approach to organizing your setup, offering a decor-friendly way to keep cables in place. 

Today, ECOVACS – one of our favorite robotic cleaning brands – is unleashing its new newest flagship robot vacuum and mop, the DEEBOT X12 OmniCyclone. 

Back at CES 2026, Belkin debuted its next-generation Nintendo Switch 2 accessory. The display-equipped case not only protects your Nintendo console on the go, but it also keeps it charged. Belkin is making the Charging Case Pro for Nintendo Switch 2 available worldwide today on both its official site and over at Amazon. 

Rockstar got hacked again, in case you missed it, and the culprits are demanding it pays up by tomorrow or they will leak GTA 6 all over the interwebs. Or something, or not at all, because Rockstar has now released a statement saying the hackers didn’t actually steal anything of value (by the sounds of it). 

Just after inking the date and time for its giant annual summer Games Showcase, Xbox Wire has just confirmed we will be getting our first good look at the new Metro 2039 this week. 

Welcome to 9to5Toys News Weekly – your go-to spot to catch up on the latest new product releases, features, and hands-on reviews.

Check it all out below.

The 2026 Nintendo leaks just keep coming. While not nearly as high-profile as the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake or even the rumored upcoming Star Fox game, it looks like Switch 2 will be getting some Marvel superhero action soon too. 

We do our absolute best around to uncover the most notable discounts on the most sought-after gear on the internet. This often times amounts to fast-action content to ensure folks get as much time as possible to actually the score the deal before it’s gone or out of stock, but sometimes we get a heads up on an upcoming deal, and that’s exactly what we have here today. The latest AirPods Pro 3 are set to return to holiday deal pricing this weekend. 

Today’s lineup of the best Apple TV deals is now ready to roll, including titles like Alien 2-Movie Collection, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Old, Dunkirk, Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Series, Sons of Anarchy: The Complete Series, and more. We also have all 15-inch M5 MacBook Air models at all-time lows ($150 off), deals on Nomad’s new Camino leather iPhone 17 Pro cases, and Apple Watch Series 11 at nearly $100 off. All of today’s Apple TV deals await below. 

It is Galaxy Z TriFold re-stock day. The new Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold will be back in-stock again this morning if you’re still trying to get one. The impressive new triple fold Galaxy device is scheduled to go live at 10:00 a.m. ET this morning and you better be ready to go as it will almost certainly sell out very fast once again. 

While its official spring sale has ended, the deals are still flying over at Target this week and we now have an early look at the offers set to go live this weekend. Including everything from spring cleaning gear through to apparel and tech, Target is advertising Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 back at holiday pricing as well. 

Update 4/9:

• Listing now appears to be sold out, try back again at 10 a.m. ET tomorrow.
• Samsung has put the Galaxy Z TriFold back in-stock ahead of schedule.

Reports confirm a new ‘Metal Gear Solid’ movie in the works. After the high-profile and generally well-received Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake (MGS Delta) released last summer, Snake appears to be heading to silver screen.
