Tickets for Spider-Man: No Way Home went up Monday morning and quickly broke the internet. But as with any hot, uh, ticket item this year, scalpers were quick to offer solutions at insane markups.

With movie ticket sites crashing under demand, some folks turned to resellers to get opening night tickets for the upcoming Spider-Man movie. But the convenience doesn’t come cheap as scalpers are selling Spider-Man: No Way Home tickets for thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars.

According to eBay’s Sold listings, some tickets were put up for sale for as much as $25,000, though a sold listing merely indicates someone has agreed to purchase a Spider-Man: No Way Home ticket for that much.

Other listings have sold for up to $100 per ticket. While movie theater tickets are certainly more expensive than they were years ago, paying hundreds of dollars for a $20 movie ticket still seems excessive even for opening night tickets.

Spider-Man: No Way Home tickets are just the latest items scalpers are putting up for sale at huge markups alongside still hard-to-find consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is the third movie in the Tom Holland “Home” trilogy, though producer Amy Pascal revealed that Sony and Marvel are conceiving a new Spider-Man trilogy with Holland set to return.

Hype for No Way Home is at a fever pitch, especially since it’s set to bring in characters from other Spider-Man movies like Doc Ock, Electro, Green Goblin, and more. Speculation has it that other Spider-Man actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are also returning, though everyone involved has avoided answering whether or not this is true.

That hasn’t stopped the internet from asking Andrew Garfield constantly if he’s returning as Spider-Man. While Garfield keeps dodging the question, he did reveal that Tobey Maguire is his favorite Spider-Man (along with everyone else who wore the suit).

Check out IGN’s breakdown of the newest Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer for more on the upcoming multiverse picture.

Skyrim speedrunner Nucular has beaten his own world record for running through Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, finishing the story in just one hour and 12 minutes. All the more impressive, this speedrun was completed without relying on glitches.

As reported by PCGamer, you can check out Nucular's full speedrun on YouTube. Nucular also detailed his speedrunning strategies in the comment section of his video. For example, he plays as a High Elf because they have the highest movement speed.

According to IGN's sister site How Long to Beat, it takes 33 and a half hours to complete the main story. So Nucular's new record is significantly faster.

Skyrim is celebrating its tenth anniversary this month, and speedrunning has been a part of the game's community since the very beginning. Before its launch in November 2011, Bethesda employees held an internal competition to see who could finish the game the fastest. The winner completed the game in 2 hours, 16 minutes, and 10 seconds. So, after 10 years, Nucular was able to cut that original time almost in half with his new world record.

Speaking of the game's tenth anniversary, Bethesda recently released The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition, which includes new and existing Creation Club content.

For more, check out our chat with Bethesda boss Todd Howard, where he dives into Skyrim's legacy, and what's coming next with Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield.

CD Projekt Red has been gradually shifting to new projects while continuing to support Cyberpunk 2077. The studio is also allocating more resources to work on the game's expansion.

In CD Projekt Red's Q3 earnings report, it shows that the majority of the company was still supporting Cyberpunk 2077 up until the end of September this year. Now CD Projekt is focused on Cyberpunk 2077's impending expansion along with Gwent-related projects and projects involving Spokko, another studio under the CD Projekt umbrella.

Additionally, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are still on track for their respective Q1 and Q2 2022 releases. This new version of The Witcher 3 will also contain extra items inspired by the Netflix adaptation of the series. They were originally both supposed to release during the second half of this year but were delayed to 2022.

CD Projekt will further support Gwent with more regular updates and content drops. A detailed roadmap of 2022 releases will be presented during the Gwent Masters Season 3 finale on December 5. Spokko's augmented reality game, The Witcher: Monster Slayer, is being worked on to improve its retention and monetization, with a content update coming soon too.

CD Projekt also mentions its Vancouver branch as well as its recent acquisition of Molasses Flood, as they will be working on future projects for the company. Molasses Flood was acquired last month and the studio announced that it is working on its own brand new project based on one of CD Projekt's IPs.

Currently, it's unclear what Cyberpunk 2077's expansion will be and whether it could implement something like multiplayer. We'll just have to wait and see until next year.

Sony has patented a new design that seems to suggest that the company is working on a PlayStation controller for mobile devices.

The patent (spotted by VGC) was published by Sony Interactive Entertainment's Japanese division last week with the design resembling a split version of the PlayStation 4's Dualshock controller rather than the DualSense of the PS5. In the design, the left haft and right grips of the controller are split, with the touchpad section replaced with a space for a smartphone to fit.

The controller is described as having "a left-side grip portion and a right-side grip portion" that users can position their hands around as well as a "shaft portion that can be tilted by the user, and detect the tilting direction and tilting amount of the shaft portion."

While PlayStation controllers can already be used alongside compatible Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices at present, the patent seems to suggest that the device would resemble something similar to third-party mobile controller grips such as the iPhone compatible Backbone One.

Sony's decision to seemingly take out a patent on a controller compatible with mobile devices may not come as a shock to many eagle-eyed fans of the company. Earlier this year, Sony set to expand further into the realm of smartphones as it surfaced that the company was looking to appoint a Head of Mobile.

Following news of the vacancy, the company further showed its interest in the sector via comments made by Sony Interactive Entertainment president, Jim Ryan who stated that PlayStation’s roster of first-party IPs “can transition to smartphone gaming and complement our AAA games or live service games”.

Ryan went on to say that Sony was "exploring the mobile market with some wonderful PlayStation franchises," though it wasn't clear at the time as to which of the studio's numerous IPs would be making their debut on the platform.

Red Notice has become Netflix’s biggest ever movie hit, at least according to one of its stars, Dwayne Johnson.

The action flick debuted on Netflix earlier this month and has already been watched for almost 280 million hours. According to Dwayne Johnson, who stars in Red Notice as FBI agent John Hartley, that makes it a record breaker.

“Red Notice has officially become THE BIGGEST MOVIE IN THE HISTORY OF NETFLIX!!!” he confirmed via Instagram. “In under two weeks, we’ve shattered all records and we have many weeks to go.”

Red Notice stars Dwayne Johnson as Agent Hartley – an FBI profiler tasked with aiding Interpol in taking down the high-profile art thief, Nolan Booth (played by Ryan Reynolds). Soon, the pair are forced to work together in a twist on the buddy-cop dynamic – but while the buddy-heist movie has a few thrills, it largely left critics a bit cold.

IGN’s own review explains that: “Three A-listers globetrot and double-cross each other in Red Notice, a derivative action film that should be much smarter and sexier than it ends up being.” But while Red Notice currently stands at just 35% on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score is quite different, with an astounding 92% rating.

Netflix confirmed that Red Notice has been watched for a total of 277.9 million hours since its release on November 5. That would make it one of the streaming service’s most popular movies – second only to the 2018 horror flick, Bird Box (which was viewed for 282 million hours).

Dwayne Johnson’s comments seem to suggest that Red Notice may already have passed that impressive milestone – making it the most watched movie on Netflix. However, Netflix is yet to confirm the film’s final 28 day viewing figures.
