Big Cult of the Lamb DLC and even bigger PC gaming handhelds. Welcome to the latest edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku‘s daily roundup of gaming news and culture. I am still recovering from the Philadelphia Eagles’ narrow escape from the Dallas Cowboys last night. It only took six seconds for star defensive tackle Jalen Carter to get ejected from the game for spitting at opposing quarterback Dak Prescott, only for a second angle to reveal Prescott actually spit first.

Carter apparently then asked him if he just spat at him (Prescott’s loogie had little hang-time before going straight to the ground) and Prescott said something to the effect of “why the hell would I do that?” and then Carter decided the time for words had ended and fired back with his own salvo of saliva aimed squarely at Prescott’s chest. The curse of Madden continues? I can’t wait to suffer through another season of the 2024 Super Bowl champions looking like utter frauds.
The Legion Go 2 is almost twice as expensive as the original
Lenovo revealed its newest PC gaming handheld and its impressive specs are overshadowed only by its price tag. It starts at $1,100 or about the price of a 15-inch MacBook Air. For that you get an 8.8 inch OLED display, an AMD Z2 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. The Verge reports it won’t launch with SteamOS, and it won’t have Microsoft’s new Windows gaming UI that’s releasing with the Xbox ROG Ally either. That option won’t arrive until sometime in spring 2026.
None of this is doing much for my enthusiasm for an otherwise cool upgrade. It’ll be the beefiest portable PC gaming competitor to the Switch 2 when it arrives on October 31, complete with detachable controller grips, a kickstand, and optical mouse controls. But with the best Legion Go 2 model coming in at almost $1,500, I’m not sure any number of new bells and whistles will get prospective buyers over the sticker shock.
Cult of the Lamb‘s Woolhaven DLC will be almost as long as the base game
The action roguelike base-builder has an expansion coming in early 2026 and developer Massive Monster claims it will effectively feel like a second game. The wintery DLC adds new settlement mechanics, levels to explore, and brutal weather to survive. It looks neat but unlike all of the free updates generously showered on players, Woodhaven will be paid. No price has been revealed yet.
“We tend to go all out, be at weddings, to raves, to three free massive content updates,” the devs said in a TikTok. “This DLC is not free, but I promise you’ll love it.”
Schedule 1 fans are voting on whether to finally bring shrooms to the hit Steam game
The drug-selling crewlike‘s Rival Cartels update is live and the next community poll is available for players to vote on. The three options are between Hireable Drivers, Fishing, and Shrooms, a psychedelic not currently available in the game. While drivers would be the most practical, fans of funky fungi have been waiting for their moment in the spotlight. Some players are chanting “Shrooms, baby!” Others say “Fishing EZ.” The weirdos howl “I want police raids so bad.”
MindsEye devs surprise remaining players by actually continuing to fix the game
“I can’t wait for the next statement from the studio (it’s so fucking over),” wrote Electrical_Sugar_742 a couple of days ago. But Build A Rocket Boy responded with update 4, which is full of changes to the beleaguered action shooter. It addresses PC performance issues and adds quality-of-life improvements, including the ability to finally skip cutscenes. How are players responding?
“I’ve deleted it for now,” wrote one. “Maybe by 2040 the game will reach 1.0,” wrote another. The most controversial patch note is “Removed EVERYWHERE vehicles from Build.MindsEye – those vehicles were made accessible unofficially, and we will bring them to MindsEye when they are ready.” User RazorLined wrote, “You guys really thought this was the time to make that change. Really guys. REALLY!?!” Tough crowd.
Repair support for every old Nintendo console before the Switch has officially ended
The Mario maker ran out of replacement parts for the New 2DS XL this week. “Due to the depletion of parts inventory required for repairs, we have terminated the repair service for the New Nintendo 2DS XL console as of September 4, 2025,” a post on X reads, per X’s built-in translate function. “Repair services for all other Nintendo 3DS series have also been terminated.”
The company ended repair support for the Wii U last year. With both platforms’ eShops also set down and no online functionality left, the sun has finally set on Nintendo’s pre-Switch years.
