SAND: Raiders of Sophie Preview There sure isn’t any shortage of extraction shooters right now. The genre has exploded in the last few years, and every hot new number that comes along poses the same question: why should anyone play this instead of the million other options they have?

Turtle Beach Command Series KB5 Review Have you read our KB7 review? Do it. If you have, you’ve got a pretty good sense of what to expect from the KB5. Undeniably, the two share the same design philosophy, the same Swarm II software ecosystem, and the same ambition: put a touchscreen on your keyboard and make your desk feel like a damn command center. At $149.99 USD ($50 less than the KB7), the KB5 is the more affordable sibling.

The biggest structural addition is something the original sorely missed. For the first time in the series, online co-op lets players team up remotely, while traditional couch co-op returns for local multiplayer. Nintendo Switch 2 players also get Game Share support, meaning one copy can be shared locally or online with up to three others. At a $9.99 price point, the barrier to dragging your friends in is essentially non-existent.
