VH1’s newly announced America’s Funniest People puts Ms. Pat in charge of a 12-episode competition in which three content creators vie for a cash prize. It premieres November 16 with back-to-back episodes at 9/8c and 9:30/8:30c, from the company behind America’s Funniest Home Videos. The camcorders have become phones; television’s confidence that someone else will supply the embarrassing footage remains intact.

WWE 2K26’s new Street Fighter Elite Pack gives The Rock an M. Bison persona, Rey Mysterio a Ryu makeover and Bianca Belair a Cammy look, complete with fighting-game attacks and themed entrances. It is a separate purchase, not included in existing bundles or premium editions, and requires the base game, internet access and a 2K account. The same announcement launches Ringside Pass season six, whose premium track adds Royce Keys, Earthquake, Typhoon and Octagón Jr. Apparently being the Final Boss was insufficient without the moveset.

bigby’s old case gets a new coat

The Wolf Among Us Remastered is set for its Xbox release today, October 29, on Series X|S and Xbox One. This revisits Bigby Wolf’s original investigation—not a new sequel—with upgraded presentation, a Noir Mode, behind-the-scenes material and restored playable deleted scenes. For returning players, those extras are the distinction worth checking before buying Fabletown’s problems twice.

the mac needs touch-friendly manners

Following Tuesday’s Mac hardware announcements, Apple has now published Touch on Mac developer resources: design and implementation videos, Live Activities guidance and online labs on November 18–19. The developer hub still labels Xcode 27.3 beta “Coming soon,” so this is preparation rather than a new download to install. Making a button technically tappable and making it pleasant to hit with a finger are different assignments.
