Black Friday sales are officially kicking off. Best Buy has dropped its selection of deals today, and there's plenty of excellent offers to look through, including quite a few video game deals. Among them is Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, which is currently $20 off at the retailer.
This Black Friday deal has dropped its price from $69.99 to $49.99, but what's even better is that it applies to both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game (see the deal here at Best Buy). No matter the platform you prefer, you can score a sweet little deal on the game we said, "largely succeeds as a faithful, visually impressive remake of the 2004 classic."

Gearbox has released a significant patch for Borderlands 4 that makes some quality-of-life improvements such as smarter loot drops and a new Legendary Loot Indicator for your radar. These arrive alongside visual polish and stability updates for a “smoother” experience on Kairos, Gearbox said.
Digging into the detail, Class Mods have been adjusted to drop more for your current character, which is a welcome change for those on the hunt for ever-improving builds. The loot feed is now updated to display total current currency after spending or receiving money, and the likelihood of unintended movements or knockbacks while reviving a teammate is reduced. And it's worth noting that the patch adds a new Legendary Loot Indicator to the combat...
Microsoft will soon dive into the November 2025 Xbox Partner Preview as Xbox Series X | S closes out the year with a brand-new showcase.
As promised earlier this week, today’s third-party-focused presentation will soon unveil a slew of announcements for some of Microsoft’s gaming partners. Fans have been told to expect showings for 007 First Light, Tides of Annihilation, and Reanimal, with the rest of the show’s contents keeping fans guessing.
Today’s Xbox Partner Preview has a lot to live up to after the last equivalent showcase, which arrived October 2024 and featured highlights like Phasmophobia, Animal Well, and Alan Wake 2. We’ll know more when the show begins at 10am PT / 1pm ET, so be sure to keep checking in with this story...
It's happening — the brilliant Silent Hill 2 Remake is finally arriving on Xbox Series X/S, and it's being released with a hefty 50% launch discount.
Fans have spotted that the game is already available to purchase via the Xbox Store in Australia, where it's already Friday, November 21. Store pages for the game in other regions are also available, though the game cannot yet be purchased elsewhere.
When it does become available — likely when midnight passes tonight — the game looks to have launched at half price. The Australian version has a recommended retail price of AU $99, currently reduced to AU $50, which is something at least after the long wait.
As of yet, publisher Konami is yet to make the launch official, though we are...

Silent Hill f Drops to $49.99 for Black Friday
For Silent Hill fans, or even those who are interested in the games but haven't jumped into one yet, we found in our review that Silent Hill f "serves...
October was an incredible debut month for Battlefield 6: it's officially the best-selling title in franchise history in the U.S., and the best-selling game in the U.S. as of last month.
This comes from Circana's monthly report, which states that Battlefield 6 is the best-selling game of 2025 on both Xbox and PC, and the second best-selling on PlayStation so far, behind NBA 2K26. It also says that Battlefield produced the highest single month tracked full game dollar sales total of any video game in three years. That means it sold more than the last few Call of Duty games did in their debut months, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II in October of 2022. Is this troubling news for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 when the November report...
Games Workshop is once again expecting big profits despite an expected slowdown in licensing revenue from blockbuster video game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
Games Workshop’s main business is the sale of miniatures fans assemble and paint for use in tabletop wargames, such as Warhammer 40,000. But it is increasingly an IP business, with huge revenue from smash hit video games such as 2024's Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and animations, such as Amazon’s Warhammer 40,000 Secret Level episode. Last year, Games Workshop and Amazon finalized a deal for Henry Cavill's Warhammer 40,000 Cinematic Universe, which will involve the creation of films and television series. Space Marine 3 is also in development.
In a trading update, the...
Major gameplay leaks have offered a glimpse at the next era of Fortnite, in which its ever-popular battle royale mode will transition to a fresh map based on the USA.
Previously, official hints from Epic Games have pointed to coordinates based in Hollywood, while another leak suggested the game would feature a Las Vegas-esque location (and a Quentin Tarantino crossover). And now, thanks to footage that has leaked from a preview event attended by media and influencers, Chapter 7's USA-style setting has been confirmed.
Footage now widely circulating on social media shows an arid area with palm trees. In the distance, the game's map references an area named Sandy Strip. Signage names Chapter 7's first season as being titled "Pacific...
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's co-op Endgame mode will unlock for all players tomorrow, Friday November 21.
Up until now, Endgame was only accessible to those who'd completed the campaign, but from tomorrow, all players will be able to jump into the action regardless of whether or not they've completed the single-player mode.
Endgame is a brand-new, replayable co-op mode that expands on the events of the main story. Here, JSOC continues their fight across Avalon, taking on the remnants of The Guild in a toxic, ever-changing battlefield. It isn’t just an epilogue, but a progression-driven mode built around teamwork, power growth, and survival — here’s everything you need to know before dropping in.
According to CharlieIntel, those who...
Embark Studios — the team behind blockbuster hit Arc Raiders — has confirmed it's ending last-gen support for The Finals next year.
While Season 10 will kick off as planned across all other platforms on March 18, 2026, the game will be retired from the only last-gen system, PS4, at that time to allow the team to "focus our support on current generation hardware."
This means PS4 players will lose all access to the free-to-play shooter little more than a year after it launched in December last year, a year later than PC and current-gen systems. While sometimes players can keep playing on discontinued software for a limited time, in this instance it appears the PS4 game will stop responding completely on the deadline.
"From that point...
The trial that may determine the future of hit video game franchise Subnautica has ended with a number of serious allegations made by Korean mega corp Krafton against the ousted former bosses of developer Unknown Worlds.
Unknown Worlds co-founders Charlie Cleveland, Max McGuire, and Ted Gill sued Krafton, claiming the company fired the trio to avoid paying an allegedly owed $250 million bonus, despite, the founders say, Subnautica 2 being ready for an early access launch this year. They now want to be reinstated at Unknown Worlds.
Krafton claims the co-founders had already downed tools long before they were fired, while also insisting Subnautica 2 was not ready for release this year. Krafton also alleges the executives stole...
Dispatch, the superhero workplace comedy from former Telltale devs, has topped two million players.
Hailing from AdHoc Studio, which was founded by several former Telltale Games devs, Dispatch sees you manage a dysfunctional team of misfit heroes and strategize who you send to emergencies around the city, all while balancing office politics, personal relationships, and your own quest to become a hero.
It stars a solid mix of traditional Hollywood actors and video game- and streaming-adjacent talent including Aaron Paul, Laura Bailey, Jeffrey Wright, Erin Yvette, Jacksepticeye, Moistcr1tikal, Alanah Pearce, Travis Willingham, Joel Haver, Lance Cantstopolis, Matthew Mercer, and Thot Squad, and has made quite a splash, having been...
Omelet You Cook, a roguelike cooking game on Steam, has been having a great early access it seems. It recently passed 500 player reviews, and every last one of them was positive, making it one of a rare few games on Steam to have 100% positive reviews.
Until today.
As pointed out to us by developer Dan Schumacher of SchuBox Games, the game received its first negative review today. And sure, negative reviews are just part of the deal when releasing a game on Steam. But what really bothered Schumacher is that according to the text of the review, the reviewer didn't actually dislike the game. They played for 0.8 hours total, 0.2 hours when they posted the review, and wrote the following:
"Game is amazing. I just like to be different."...
EA’s football franchise has gone beyond the FIFA license in recent years, and EA Sports FC 26 is another solid entry that die-hard soccer/football fans will no doubt have flocked to already.
Still, if you’ve been on the fence about lacing up your virtual boots, then there’s a Deadline Day deal you can snap up right now - Amazon has slashed the price of the latest game on all platforms by 57% as its kicked off its official sale event, making it just $29.99 on PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox just in time for the Black Friday.
As for what’s included in this year’s game, EA has promised it’s more community-driven than ever before. As a result, it refines a lot of pain points from recent years, like AI defender positioning, improved goalkeepers...
Epic Games is teasing an explosive return to Fortnite story content with a Chapter 6 Zero Hour Finale Live Event teaser trailer that packs in heavy-hitter cameos ahead of the inevitable launch of Chapter Seven.
The description for the new Fortnite story video teases that some familiar faces will “assemble in the final endgame to save reality,” and the footage proves it. In just 30 seconds, we see Jonesy dodging giant tentacle monster attacks as Godzilla, King Kong, and Star Wars X-Wings battle overhead. Naturally, a giant, half-naked Homer Simpson then shows up before Uma Thurman’s Kill Bill character, The Bride, swoops in, with the trailer then finally telling players to expect the Fortnite Chapter 6 Zero Hour Finale event to take...
Fallout fans have a whole lot to be excited about these days. From Season 2 of the hit Amazon Prime Video series dropping next month to Fallout 4 coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Fallout 76 getting a Burning Springs expansion, we’re spoiled for content. Fallout Day on October 23 brought even more announcements. With everything that’s coming, there are tons of fun new collectibles and memorabilia to buy or pre-order in anticipation.
IGN Store is stocked up on awesome Fallout exclusives; there’s even a functional, true to the TV series Pip-Boy Die-Cast replica and Lucy's Vault 33 Backpack, both of which would be any cosplayer’s dream. Bethesda’s Gear Store already has the 15th Anniversary Fallout: New Vegas bundle up for preorder, along...
As a fighting game fan, I’ve grown to enjoy the process. Spending extended amounts of time in training mode learning the timing of memorized button presses in the hopes that, when it really counts, that practice will pay off. This might be why I found Forestrike, a 2D martial arts inspired roguelite that lets you plan out your approach to solving a gauntlet of combat encounters before executing upon them for real, so uniquely appealing. It successfully evokes the feeling of classic kung fu fight choreography by mixing straight up hand-to-hand combat with clever moments of using the environment to your advantage, or turning an enemy’s own weapon against them, or causing friendly fire simply with an effortless step to the side, all on a...
Haha. Yeah, I know. "Half-Life 3". The long-fabled, often-rumored, still non-existent third numbered entry in the Half-Life series that fans have craved but never heard a credible whisper of. It's been a pervasive joke in the industry and among fans for years, a stand-in for a thing that doesn't exist and never would.
And yet, for some reason, a lot of people seem to think it's being announced soon. Possibly in the next few weeks. Maybe even today.
You might have seen it. The sudden flurry of mentions of Half-Life 3, some humorous, some quite serious. The surge of memes. A handful of people that seem to have lost their dang minds:
So what's going on? Why do people think Half-Life 3 is imminent, seriously or unseriously? We...
Mafia: The Old Country’s Free Ride update finally has a release date: November 20. It adds a number of new features, including challenges, a first-person driving camera, classic difficulty, and photo mode.
The major update to Hangar 13’s narrative adventure is a callback to the original Mafia’s Free Ride Extreme and the Free Ride mode in Mafia: Definitive Edition. As explained by Peter Amato, Content Manager at publisher 2K in a post on the PlayStation Blog, Mafia: The Old Country’s Free Ride update is a collection of challenges separate from the main story that give players chances to revisit the world in a “more self-guided way.” Veteran fans of the series will find that Mafia: The Old Country’s Free Ride mode will be slightly...
The Battlefield 6 team has reversed its defibrillator changes for the Support class after players reported recent difficulty reviving teammates.
EA and Battlefield Studios delivered a series of new adjustments via a small update that is live for players across PC and consoles now. Details about the hot fix, which were published in a post on X/Twitter, highlight a fix for those pesky defibrillators, as well as tweaks to the new limited-time Sabotage game mode and additional challenges changes.
Players took to social media to complain of inconsistent defibrillators following the launch of the Battlefield 6 California Resistance update yesterday. Where previous versions of the game had players using the Support gadget to slide and dive...

I like to think of the mainline Dragon Quest series sort of like a donut. A donut may have sprinkles on top, be glazed, or maybe tied in a knot, depending on where you get it, but at its heart, you know what to expect when you bite into one. You know you will get a delightful treat of fried dough, sweet, and usually covered with some sort of other goodies, and in Dragon Quest’s case, you know you can expect a grindy turn-based RPG, the distinctive designs of Akira Toriyama, and the vexation that comes with trying to dispatch smiling metallic blobs. That familiarity is comforting and the differences exciting, all at the same time. Dragon Quest is the same way, and even after nearly 40 years, even the latest entries all these years later...
Hot off of dozens of hours reviewing the sweatiest kind of game imaginable in ARC Raiders, wading into the cozy waters of Disney Dreamlight Valley once again was like stepping into a warm bath at the end of a hard day’s work. I’ve managed to mostly keep up with this charming, Disney-infused life simulator for the past three years, which has been content with adding a handful of new areas and characters here and there rather than innovating in that time. But with its latest expansion, Wishblossom Ranch, developer Gameloft Montreal promised a massive new region to explore atop the back of various recognizable steeds that seemed like a perfect reason to return for an extended stay. It’s without question the most ambitious update yet, with...
Fans of grounded, gritty fantasy RPGs might want to keep an eye on Fatekeeper, an upcoming first-person role-playing game fueled primarily by melee combat and spells. Its reveal clearly caught the eye of plenty of you, because the announcement trailer did a million views on IGN's YouTube channel (and you can watch it below if you missed it). But today's new video – which you can watch above – is the star of the day, as it's not only Fatekeeper's first official gameplay trailer, but it doesn't skimp on substance, serving up eight minutes of action.
We talked to the team at developer Paraglacial about their promising new title to learn a bit more in the wake of this gameplay reveal, including their inspirations, plans for a console...
It's once again time for Sony's PS Plus library to get an update, which means if you've been thinking of giving games like Sonic Frontiers, Forspoken, or Battlefield 2042 a go but haven't gotten around to it yet, you better make it quick — they'll disappear on December 16.
While all PS Plus subscribers get access to free monthly games, online multiplayer, and discounts, subcribers of the Extra and Premium tiers also get to access a digital game catalog. These are the titles we'll be waving goodbye to in December:
Games leaving PS Plus Extra and Premium on December 16:
Arcade Paradise VR (PSVR2)
Battlefield 2042 (PS5, PS4)
Firefighting Simulator: The Squad (PS5, PS4)
Forspoken (PS5)
GTA III: Definitive Edition (PS5, PS4)

If you've been spending time with Dispatch and feeling that Malevola's practically humming with early 1990s supermodel energy, it turns out you're absolutely right.
Talking to IGN, Adhoc art director Derek Stratton explained how a '90s Pepsi advert starring supermodel Cindy Crawford was the inspiration for the "sexy demon lady" voiced by former IGN host, Alanah Pearce.
The iconic 1992 Pepsi commercial features Cindy Crawford in a white tank top and denim shorts, popping open a can of Pepsi by her red Lamborghini at a gas station as two awestruck young boys look on. It was a huge hit for Pepsi, and went on to cement its place in pop culture history.
"Malevola, so she represents 'sexy demon lady,'" Stratton said in the video interview...
The director of the Marathon reveal cinematic short has expressed his disbelief that he feels forced to come out and defend the work as “not AI.”
The Marathon cinematic short, below, is over eight minutes long and sets the scene for Bungie’s upcoming extraction shooter with a voice cast that includes the likes of Elias Toufexis and Ben Starr. It was written and directed by Alberto Mielgo, who created The Witness for Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots, and won an Oscar for The Windshield Wiper in 2022.
In an Instagram post, Mielgo hit out at those who accused the Marathon cinematic of being built using generative AI, insisting it took 155 staff months to put together.
“I can’t believe we’ve reached a point where I have to clarify this...
Dragon’s Dogma 2 has sold 4 million copies, Capcom has confirmed — and now fans want news on DLC.
Capcom’s action RPG came out in March 2024 and was well-received with reviewers, but well-documented technical issues hampered its launch. Indeed, Steam user reviews remain ‘mixed’ now, over a year-and-a-half later.
Still, loyal fans who have stuck with the game are desperately hoping that Capcom hasn’t abandoned Dragon’s Dogma 2 (the last meaningful title update came out in January) and indeed the franchise. And while it seems too early for a sequel announcement, fans are hoping for a significant DLC reveal.
Indeed, some are pointing to the successful release of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, an expanded version of the original Dragon’s...
Battlefield 6 players are split after the new 323 cosmetic pack introduced a collection of grounded infantry skins... and a $24 price tag.
EA and Battlefield Studios published their California Resistance Season 1 update today, adding a laundry list of fixes and features alongside a fresh store update. With another free gift and more cosmetics in rotation, Battlefield 6 fans hoping to see more grounded skins were happy to find The 323 pack cosmetic pack brings exactly the kind of customization options they were looking for.
"Yes DICE, these are the skins we want!" one popular Reddit post says. The downside, though, is players will have to cough up some serious cash if they want to wear them.
“Four American soldiers from different...
I'm back from my holiday hiatus to cover my favourite time of year: the Black Friday sales period! Exactly like you, I'm on the prowl for bargains. I want games and peripherals actually worth owning, if not for me, for somebody else these holidays as a pressie. (But mostly just me.)
For the smoothest shopping experience, be sure to make a bookmark and (freely) sign up for Amazon Prime. Said retailer started their festivities a few days ago and the really good bargains are now here (but for how long is anybody's guess).
For now, let's hook you up with the best deals of the year on games, controllers, monitors, wireless headphones, SSDs, and much, much more. One quick note: to get the most out of this event, you'll probably want to use...
