With the advent of gaming PC handhelds, your entire library of PC games is at your fingertips. Now you can play Steam games like Clair Obscur, Hades, Silksong, or Ball x Pit on a device that's not much bigger than a Switch console. For Cyber Monday, select SteamOS gaming handhelds - including the Steam Deck - are on sale. One is even priced a bit lower than on Black Friday. SteamOS is more intuitive to use on a handheld than Windows and I would recommend it for anyone who wants an easy, hassle-free experience that plays most games with minimal tinkering and little technical know-how.

Amazon has been dropping new book deals since Black Friday, and one of the most popular discounts available has been on The Witcher books. Andrzej Spkowski's Witcher series is the basis for the entire phenomenon. The popularity of the series may have been elevated by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and the Netflix series, but its the original story that has inspired the dark fantasy world we've come to love.
The latest Cyber Monday deal on this box set drops the price down to just $33.79 for the whole paperback set. This is a lower price than what we saw last week when the buy 2, get 1 free sale was still live, so it's worth picking up as an individual set before the deals end tomorrow.

Fortnite developer Epic Games has announced that 10.5 million players just tuned in for Zero Hour, the highly-anticipated live event that featured heroes from the world's biggest franchises turning up Avengers: Endgame-style to save the day. Online, at least 3 million more watched the event via streaming platforms.
Iron Man, Superman, Godzilla and the KPop Demon Hunters were just some of the characters who made appearances within the event, as Fortnite's finest gathered to defeat the Dark Presence, the game's latest Big Bad. Many of the characters appearing in the event had been teased ahead of time, though exactly what would happen was left uncertain. And indeed, despite going multiple rounds with King Kong and a Star Destroyer, the...
Steam is running a Black Friday sale for the first time ever this year. Yet despite some of its great deals, key platforms Green Man Gaming and Fanatical are both having Black Friday sales of their own. Below are some of the best you can find this weekend.
The Best Black Friday Deals at Green Man Gaming
Green Man Gaming has sales running for multiple publishers, including PlayStation, Bethesda, and Konami. Of these, one of the best deals available is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered for $28.47. This Virtuos-developed remaster was made in Unreal Engine 5, allowing Oblivion to be recreated with striking visual fidelity.
Another Bethesda game on heavy discount is Doom: The Dark Ages, which released this past May. This prequel...
We did it, people. We made it to the end of 2025. December is always an interesting one for games. Plenty of folks will be picking up new titles thanks to holiday gifts and those glorious end-of-year sales, but it’s also one of the quieter months for actual releases.
Even with the slowdown, we’re still getting some incredible-looking games. A few of these might even catch you off guard. But let’s stop beating around the bush (presents need wrapping, food needs digesting) so let’s dive into the list. Consider this your cheat sheet for what to ask for money to buy when someone has absolutely no clue what to get you.
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion – 1st December
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is the latest beat ’em up from the powerhouse genre...
Team Cherry has revealed it’s thinking about making a brand new game rather than a Hollow Knight 3 — but admitted that their only time concern is “death.”
Co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen took seven years to make Silksong, the hotly anticipated follow-up to breakout hit Hollow Knight — although they didn’t plan to. During a sweeping interview with Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, in which the duo confirmed plans for Silksong DLC, talk turned to what’s next.
It sounds like Team Cherry has yet to decide whether to make Hollow Knight 3 or a brand new video game, but Gibson and Pellen are thinking about how much time they have left to make video games at all.
“... we do have other games that we plan to make,” Gibson said. “The only...
Elden Ring has gotten one of the best video game discounts that's popped up during this year's Black Friday sale. At the moment, the base game on PS5 is down to $19.99 at Amazon, while the Xbox Series X version is down to just $15 – its lowest price yet.
That's not all, though, as the Shadow of the Erdtree edition for PS5, usually listed with a huge $79.99 price tag, has dropped back to its lowest price yet of $39.99. Tarnished, if you've yet to become Elden Lord, now is the best time to do it.
Elden Ring Black Friday Deals
Elden Ring won Game of the Year back in 2022 – and earned a glowing 10/10 IGN review, to boot. The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion also earned a 10/10 review score from IGN. Needless to say, they're both...
If you're looking for a power bank that can handle the demands of even the latest and most power hungry gaming handhelds at a great price, check out this popular Black Friday deal. Amazon is offering the Baseus 20,800mAh Power Bank with 145W of Power Delivery for just $40 shipped after applying coupon code "Q4PSW5C3". You don't need to be a Prime member. Baseus makes good power banks and I recommend them as a less expensive alternative to Anker.
Baseus 20,800mAh 145W Power Bank for $40
The Baseus power bank has a 20,800mAh or 77Whr battery capacity. Factoring in a roughly 80% power efficiency rating (which is about standard for power banks), this power bank will charge a Steam Deck (40Whr) or Asus ROG Ally (40Whr) from empty to...
We finally have our first look at Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s new class, the Techmarine, as well as an image of its Omnissian Axe.
Publisher Focus Entertainment released one screenshot of the Omnissian Axe, below, as well as an image showing off the Techmarine model from multiple angles.
The Techmarine is set to hit Saber Interactive’s explosive third-person action game as part of Patch 12 early next year. Its Omnissian Axe is a new melee weapon — a halberd-style weapon that comes with its own set of unique animations, finishers and progression, Focus confirmed in a blog post.
Meanwhile, the Techmarine has a Servo-Gun ability. Activating it will enable the gun to automatically engage enemies. The new class also has a passive...
Amazon has dropped its new LEGO deals for Black Friday, which includes the intricately-designed 2,651-piece Pac-Man Arcade set, currently down to $188.99 (30% off), its lowest price ever according to camelcamelcamel. If you've had your eye on other sets, make sure to check out other retailers like Target or go directly LEGO to see its specific Black Friday deals.
LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade On Sale For Black Friday
Licensed LEGO gaming builds are plentiful these days, and the more than 12-inch high, 10-inch wide Pac-Man Arcade set is one of the most detailed and impressive we've ever assembled, and filled with a ton of Easter eggs. By turning the crank on the side, the Pac-Man and Ghosts on the screen will actually move, and the figures...
Hollow Knight: Silksong developer Team Cherry has confirmed it’s working on DLC — but it doesn’t know when it will come out.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Team Cherry co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen said that while the developers do not plan to take “an excessive amount of time” building this new content for Silksong, “we still are pursuing the same development philosophy, which sometimes can expand our timeframe.”
It took seven years for Silksong to come out, so who knows when this mystery DLC will be released? But Team Cherry did tease it will feature the Steel Assassin, a character shown in a prior trailer but who has yet to show up in Silksong itself.
Here’s the relevant exchange with Bloomberg reporter Jason...
30 years ago, LEGO made its tentative first step beyond physical toys with the launch of Fun to Build, a Japanese-only game for the largely forgotten Sega Pico console. Three decades later, the mighty LEGO brand's video game ambitions are now a diverse empire all of its own, a set of digital experiences designed to cater to diverse and tastes.
And for good reason — because as anyone who follows video games knows, the industry's growth has also come alongside massive change, including an ongoing shift in how players access and own games — and a generational difference in why they're so important.
For many, the idea of a LEGO video game is something still synonymous with the prolific output of TT Games, the British development studio...
For gamers who have been patiently hold out on any stellar deals on handheld gaming PCs, I have good news and bad news. The bad news, there aren't very many deals. The good news, the few deals to choose from happen to be excellent. They're also exclusively available at Best Buy. That's right, Best Buy is the one and only retailer who has discounted the Lenovo Legion Go SteamOS handheld gaming PCs as part of its Black Friday Sale. In fact, both Z2 Go and Z1 Extreme models are on sale today at the lowest prices of the year. These deals are good enough that I don't expect them to drop on Cyber Monday.
Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Extreme SteamOS Edition
This particular Lenovo Legion Go S is equipped with the more powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme...
A new batch of discounted games has just landed in PlayStation's 2025 Black Friday sale. Now these newbies are pure-breed Black Friday, cream of the crop, proper pick em' up before they never appear again kind of deals. Honestly, they remind me of Black Friday sales from five years ago.
To make sense of the chaos, the deals are split into two buckets: the fresh 2025 heavy hitters and the rest of the essential PS5 releases from the console's almost five-year run.
Right now, my top picks are from the 2025 bin, with Borderlands 4 and Battlefield 6 dropping to just $35, and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater hitting $30. Let's see what else is up for grabs as well.

CD Projekt’s PC game storefront GOG is getting behind indie game Horses after Valve banned it from Steam.
Horses is an indie first-person horror game with live-action sequences set in a horse farm. Over the course of 14 days, it "welcomes you into encounters that test your obedience, complicity, and restraint." The player experiences "the farm's unspeakable horrors through daily unique interactions," as they must "withstand 14 days of spiraling dread as the reality of the farm unfolds."
As IGN reported this week, Horses is currently preparing to launch on December 2 on the Epic Games Store, GOG, Itch.io, and the Humble Store, but not on Steam because Valve has banned the game from release on its platform.
Check out IGN’s original...
If you’ve watched the latest episode of South Park, you might have noticed a surprise appearance from one of the hottest video games on earth: Arc Raiders.
Embark Studios’ extraction shooter is one of the most-played video games on PC and console right now, with an impressive 4 million copies sold so far. At one point, it hit over 700,000 concurrent players across all platforms — an impressive achievement indeed for a new IP at a time when so many refuse to be prized away from established live-service behemoths.
Clearly, among Arc Raiders’ many fans is someone behind the making of South Park. In the latest Season 28 episode broadcast this week, called "Turkey Trot,” Cartman finds Tolkien Black playing Arc Raiders on Xbox. The game...
The director of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 always believed the turned-based RPG was going to be "cool," but had no idea it would get this "big."
Talking to Radio Times Gaming following this year's Golden Joysticks awards, creative director Guillaume Broche spoke candidly about the studio's work, admitting that the game's reception from fans and critics alike has been so unexpected, saying "nobody really understands what's happening."
"I think people don't really realize that, now it's become big, but before the launch, it was not supposed to be big," Broche said. "I think we all felt the same thing. It's going to be cool. It's not going to be big, it's going to be cool. And what's happening today is like, as we say, nobody really...
Amazon’s Fallout TV show is canon, so the question of which Fallout: New Vegas ending it will rubber stamp as official has been a burning question within the community ever since it was confirmed that Season 2 would take place in what remains of the city. But recent comments from one of the actors on the show suggest Season 2 will dodge the question entirely.
Warning! Spoilers for Fallout Season 1 and Fallout New Vegas follow.
The Fallout TV show is set after all the Fallout games and is considered canon, so when it was confirmed that Mr. House would be in Season 2, it sparked all sorts of fan theories about how he would make his live-action appearance, and what it would mean for Obsidian’s much-loved New Vegas itself.

The Holidays are approaching, and you know what that means: tanks. Lots and lots of tanks. And to celebrate the season, Wargaming just revealed that none other than Benedict Cumberbatch will be the official Ambassador for the World of Tanks Holiday Ops 2026 event. You can check out an exclusive behind the scenes look at the actor’s appearance in the game in the player above.
Cumberbatch sat down with IGN to dive into his participation in World of Tanks, break down his favorite video games as a kid, and share whether Doctor Strange would beat Doctor Doom in a fight.
“World of Tanks is about as good as it gets,” Cumberbatch says. “My character in the game does much more than just handing out assignments. From the winter garage, he...
A wave of speculation among fans of Alan Wake 2 and Control developer Remedy Entertainment has been sparked by the filing of a fresh trademark, just days ahead of The Game Awards.
As spotted by MP1st, a trademark for something named "Control: Resonant" was filed yesterday, November 27, by Remedy's legal firm, Nordic Attorneys at Law Ltd. This, it's stated, is the same group responsible for all of Remedy's other trademarks.
The obvious conclusion here is that Control: Resonant will be the title of Remedy's upcoming Control sequel, which the developer first announced for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S back in 2022. Little else is known about the project, however.
The timing of the trademark's filing raises eyebrows, coming...
I’m parked at the back of the grid on Mount Panorama, awaiting the race start, and there are cars ahead of me literally facing backwards. This is not going to go well. As you’d expect, pandemonium ensues when the lights go off. The race has just begun and it’s already a mess.
Unfortunately, this is Project Motor Racing in a nutshell right now.
On paper, Project Motor Racing is precisely the sort of racing game I want to play. It has a great selection of cars, a number of which are thoroughly underrepresented in modern racers. It’s also not crippled with free-to-play chicanery or subject to a monthly subscription, and its focus isn’t primarily multiplayer. All of this is high-octane music to my ears. In practice, however, Project Motor...
Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios released update 1.4.0 this week, and in the patch notes teased a “very hot fix for the locked room exploits.” It turns out they weren’t kidding.
Following the release of the patch, players — as they often do — jumped into the hugely successful extraction shooter to give this fix a proper test. They’ve been able to cheat their way into locked rooms as before, but what they now find inside… well, Embark called it a “very hot fix” for a reason.
As redditor Forward_Problem_7550 discovered, locked rooms now turn you into a fireball if you glitch inside. The clip below shows the trap in action.
Reaction to the change is positive, with most players getting a kick out of what Embark has done here. “Best...
Last updated November 27, 2025 - Added new The Forge codes!
The Forge is a fantasy RPG Roblox experience, where you'll play as one of the many races that inhabit the lands. Whether that's as a human, a goblin, or a dragonborn will all depend on reroll chances. Each race has its unique perks, influencing stats such as health, damage, attack power, and more. But if you don't like the character you get given, our list of The Forge codes will help you out with additional rerolls.
It's no surprise that The Forge focuses heavily on mining. The core gameplay centers around mining for ores, in the hopes of finding rare ores to forge powerful weapons and armor. You'll then throw those ores into the forge, where the blend of resources you use...
A pristine copy of Fortnite has just been sold for $42,500 — which seems a lot for a free-to-play game.
To be fair, this is a boxed version of Fortnite — something that also grants access to the game's original Save the World mode, which Epic Games still requires you pay a small amount to access.
But there's no suggestion this sealed copy of the world's biggest battle royale will ever actually be played. Indeed, it has been sold encased in a box, and labelled with a 10 A++ rating from video game grading company Wata — its highest possible quality score.
Sold by Heritage Auctions, this copy of Fortnite is an Xbox One version from the game's original 2017 print run. Only a limited number of physical copies were ever produced, and this...
Borderlands 4 has dramatically fallen to just $35 for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox in the Black Friday sales. At 50% off, that's a huge deal on a game that only came out a few months ago, and one that I truly doubt is going to stay in stock for long.
This is one of the best deals going in both the Xbox and PS5 Black Friday sales, and absolutely worth picking up ASAP. Deals like this tend not to stick around, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's gone by the end of Thanksgiving, let alone Black Friday weekend.
Just look at Battlefield 6, one of the best deals of the day, and already out of stock at Amazon. You've just got to be speedy with deals of this calibre, I'm afraid. I'd also recommend picking up Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake...
If you’re already gearing up to smash heads with friends and the anticipation for MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is hitting critical levels, then there’s only one real fix: more beat ‘em ups. The genre has evolved in all the best ways, and it’s genuinely lovely to see something so deeply satisfying back in full force.
If you want a few games to dive into ahead of launch, we’ve rounded up the best titles like MARVEL Cosmic Invasion below. This list has some incredible picks, both new and old, so let’s hop into it.
Castle Crashers
Castle Crashers is getting on a bit now, but it remains wonderfully charming and a huge amount of fun anyway. A wave of post-launch content expanded its look and piled on even more bonkers brawls. You’re...
Ubisoft has confirmed it no longer plans to launch a second major Assassin's Creed Shadows expansion, something that previously would have formed part of the game's now-abandoned season pass.
Shadows' first — and now, it seems, only — major expansion launched in September. The 10-hour Claws of Awaji had previously been described as the "first expansion" included in Shadows' season pass, an offer that was formally scrapped a year ago when Ubisoft delayed the game's launch from November 2024 to February 2025.
As an apology to fans for the game's delay, Ubisoft said it instead would gift Claws of Awaji for free to all pre-order customers. But fans still assumed a second expansion would follow at some point, as has become custom for every...
There is increasing concern that skyrocketing RAM prices will impact high-end gaming not just in the short term, but the long term.
With the explosive growth of generative AI, AI data centers are hoovering up the world's memory and storage supply, sparking price hikes that some experts fear could last for decades. Cheap SSDs, DRAM, and HDDs are pretty much a thing of the past, with prices rising as AI demand outstrips supply.
This has already caused price rises, with PC retailer CyberPowerPC announcing a hike for memory modules across the U.S. and the UK “due to market conditions.”
“Recently, global memory (RAM) prices have surged by 500% and SSD prices have risen by 100%,” CyberPowerPC said. “This has had a direct impact on the...
With Octopath Traveler I and II carving out a reputation as opulent strategy RPGs with style to spare, it’s also true that this success leaves Octopath Traveler 0 carrying a substantial weight of expectation. A deeply evolved expansion of mobile entry Champions of the Continent, Octopath Traveler 0 is shaping up to be every bit the essential tactical JRPG that genre fans have hungered for all year.
Be sure to keep this Octopath Traveler 0 guide bookmarked to stay across everything, from the release date, story so far and gameplay details, through to the latest trailer and PC specifications.
Octopath Traveler 0 Release Date
Octopath Traveler 0 has been confirmed for release on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series...
As the debate around the use of generative AI to build video games rages on, Tim Sweeney, boss of Fortnite developer Epic Games, has waded in to call on Valve to ditch its AI Generated Content Disclosure for Steam games.
Valve’s rules mean developers must disclose their use of AI-generated content on a game’s Steam store page. For example, the Steam page for Embark Studios’ Arc Raiders includes a note from the developer on how the game uses AI-generated content: “during the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.”
Activision’s Call of Duty also includes an AI disclosure: “our...
