Switch games aren't known for being cheap. Especially when it comes to first-party Nintendo titles like Zelda and Mario, you often see games sticking with an above $40 price tag years and years after their release. That's why this deals season, the number one thing I had my eye on was price drops on Switch games, and for the first time (maybe ever), Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have exceeded my expectations. While the Nintendo eShop has its own digital game sale underway, some of the best Switch games have their lowest prices ever at select retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart.
With major price cuts to games that typically cost upwards of $50 (looking at you, Zelda), these Cyber Monday deals aren't getting any...

Amazon's kicked off its Cyber Monday sale a little early this year and is still offering some great deals that are worth jumping on ahead of the holidays. In terms of video game deals, quite a few have caught our eye that have been brought over into the retailer's Cyber Monday sale, including an excellent discount on the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 for Switch.
Switch owners can enjoy a nice 63% discount on this collection, which has brought its price down to just $18.74. According to price tracker camelcamelcamel, it's the lowest price its hit so far which is a massive bonus. A lot of deals like this won't stick around long after Cyber Monday, so if you've been wanting to add this stealthy series to your game library...
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are some of the best times of year to buy video games thanks to the numerous deals that pop up over the course of the sale event. One of our favorite games of 2024, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, got an astonishing price drop for PS5 during this year's sale that's still live.
Currently, the game is marked down to just $14.97. This is a whopping 70% off its usual price of $49.99 and also marks its lowest price yet according to price tracker camelcamelcamel. If you've had your eye on it, now's a great time to pick it up in the event it goes out of stock.
Alongside scoring nominations at The Game Awards this year for Best Action/Adventure Game and Innovation in Accessibility, we also had high praise for...
Looking for more video games to pick up ahead of the holidays? Thankfully, there are quite a few game deals still live as we get closer to Cyber Monday. One of our favorites that popped up during the seasonal sale event was on Sonic X Shadow Generations, which is currently $20 off its release price of $49.99 to $29.99 at Amazon for PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch.
According to camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest price yet for Sonic X Shadow Generations. So, if you've had your eye on it, now's a great time to scoop it up.
IGN's Jada Griffin had high praise for this game in our Sonic X Shadow Generations review, giving it a score of 9/10. In it, she says that, "Sonic X Shadow Generations takes an already excellent game and...
There are still quite a few video game deals going strong as Cyber Monday inches closer. One of our absolute favorites from this year's seasonal sale event is on Star Wars Outlaws, which has gotten a $30 price drop from its original $69.99 price tag to just $39.99.
This is the lowest price yet for the game, according to price tracker camelcamelcamel, and a deal that likely won't stick around for long after Cyber Monday. So, if you've been wanting to spend your holidays immersed in the world of Star Wars, pick up this game for either PS5 or Xbox Series X.
Now's a great time to pick this one up as well, following the massive Title Update 1.4.0. A blog post from Ubisoft detailing the patch notes stated that, "This Title Update brings...
Are you obsessed with Dress to Impress? Or the more action-packed Tower Defense Simulator? Maybe even catching fish in Fisch?
Whichever “Roblox experience” has you or someone you know hooked, I’m sure it has microtransactions (things to spend real money on) in one form or another. Roblox gift cards can be converted into the Robux needed to make those purchases, and Cyber Monday is one of the best times to find those gift cards on sale.
While there are slight discounts on digital gift cards, the best savings you can possibly get is by going physical: Right now, you can get a full $20 off $100 Roblox gift cards. Christmas is saved!

Black Friday is offering up plenty of video game deals right now, including on fantastic newer releases. The Game of the Year-nominated Metaphor: ReFantazio is currently on sale at its lowest price yet, according to price tracker camelcamelcamel, of $49.99. This is $20 off its list price of $69.99. If you've been waiting for a good time to pick this one up, now's an excellent time to do it since it's still on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart.
Both Amazon and Best Buy have the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions on sale for $49.99, but Walmart only has the PlayStation 5 version on sale for that price.
As previously mentioned, Metaphor: ReFantazio has been nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards this year. It also...
Garry's Mod Has Sold an Incredible 25.4 Million Copies, Is the Best-Selling PC Exclusive of All-Time
Garry’s Mod has sold over 25 million copies since going on sale 18 years ago, Facepunch Studios has announced.
The physics sandbox is now over 25.4 million sold, to be exact, since going on sale on PC via Steam back in 2006.
Designer Garry Newman tweeted to reflect on the astonishing sales success of Garry’s Mod, saying: “When Valve first floated the idea of selling Garry's Mod on Steam I said no because.. ‘who would pay for that?.’
“Well 18 years later, it turns out that 25,560,290 people would. Glad to have been wrong on this one.”
In September, Garry’s Mod was named the best-selling PC exclusive of all-time by the Guinness Book of Records, beating out the likes of World of Warcraft and its expansions. At the time, Newman joked...
There are plenty of gaming deals to check out for Black Friday. For PlayStation 5 owners, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has dropped to just $15 today at Amazon. This is a whole 70% off its list price of $49.99, marking a drop to its lowest price ever according to price tracker camelcamelcamel.
If this deal sells out, a good backup option is over at Best Buy where you can score the game for $19.99. This is a few dollars more than the one at Amazon, but still a great option to keep in mind if the $15 deal disappears.
We had high praise for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown upon release. Writer Phil Hornshaw said in our review of the game that "Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown captures not only what made games such as The Sands of...
GSC Game World has released Stalker 2’s first big post-launch patch across PC and Xbox, making over 650 fixes.
Stalker 2 enjoyed an impressive launch with over one million copies sold, but it suffers from a number of game-breaking bugs. Check out IGN’s Stalker 2 review for more.
Now GSC has released patch 1.0.1, hopefully Stalker 2 players are in for a smoother ride. The update includes fixes for quest blockers, memory leaks, crashes, and minor bugs, GSC said. There are a number of blanace changes, too, which overall make the game easier. Check out the patch notes below.
“Thanks for your passion and support since the release, it is really important to us,” the developer added.
GSC said future updates will make A-Life system...
Fortnite developer Epic Games has pulled back the curtain on the Chapter 6 update, confirming the arrival of Godzilla.
Chapter 6, which kicks off on December 1, sees Godzilla terrorize the new Japan-themed map. The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1: Hunters trailer, below, shows a number of other, smaller Japan-inspired bosses as well as new weapons available to players, such as samurai swords. Also confirmed is the arrival of Big Hero 6's Baymax.
Earlier this month, Epic Games announced changes to the Fortnite Battle Pass model that will see its standard pass getting a price increase for the first time. Fortnite has long offered its standard pass for 950 V-Bucks, but starting December 1, the price will increase by 50, bringing the total...
As Sony’s pursuit of Kadokawa rumbles on, financial experts have said the PlayStation maker may find it hard to buy the entirety of FromSoftware’s parent company.
Japan’s Toyo Keizai (via Automaton) reported that Sony may be put off the deal due to the cost of having to acquire all of Kadokawa, rather than the parts it’s actually interested in.
Kadokawa is reportedly only interested in doing a deal with Sony if it buys the entire company. Sony, however, is reportedly only interested in “extracting” assets related to anime and video games, which presumably includes the developer of Elden Ring.
Buying all of Kadokawa would cost 640 billion yen (approx $4.3 billion), according to expert estimates. Sony’s cash for buyouts is apparently...
Tencent has announced plans to release its controversial open-world survival crafting game Light of Motiram on PS5 as well as mobile and PC.
As reported by Gematsu, Tencent announced the PS5 version on PlayStation‘s Chinese social network accounts on Weibo and Bilibili.
Light of Motiram, from Shanghai-based Tencent subsidiary Polaris Quest, is a free-to-play survival game “where nature meets machine.” Screenshots and gameplay videos reveal a visual style remarkably similar to Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, complete with robot beasts in a post-apocalyptic setting. IGN has asked Tencent and Sony for comment.
Today, Tencent revealed a new seven-minute video showing more of Light of Motiram’s gameplay. After an...
Looking for the best micro SD card for your Switch or Steam Deck this Black Friday? Then look no further, as these are truly the absolute best deals today. For $55 you can get a perfect 1TB micro SD card, or for $88.99 you can score one of our favorite 1.5TB micro SD cards.
My advice? Opt for the 1TB card for just $55, as that's an all-time low and one of the best deals I've ever seen for the Steam Deck. 1TB cards can go from upwards of $90+ even when on sale, so this is a rare opportunity to get a real Black Friday discount. Plus, if you're a Switch owner, there's a decent likelihood that the Switch 2 will run optimized for U3 A2 micro SD cards.
Hitting these specs, you'll be able to get optimum performance on your current console...
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 publisher Focus Entertainment has detailed the upcoming 5.0 update, and confirmed the game has sold five million copies.
Patch 5.0, due out during the first half of December, makes the previously released Neo-Volkite Pistol (the one players were using to recreate Ghostbusters) available in PvP. It also contains the hotly anticipated Dark Angels Chapter Pack, alongside another new Operation, called Obelisk. The Dark Angels Chapter Pack features the Dark Angels Champion, which is a unique armour set and banner for the Bulwark Class.
As confirmed in a forum post, three weapons also receive exclusive visuals based on the Dark Angels Chapter: the Auto Bolt Rifle, the Plasma Pistol, and the Power Sword...
Roblox’s stylish dodgeball minigame, Blade Ball, is cutting into Thanksgiving 2024 with a brand-new Thanksgiving Event that adds holiday-themed activities for players to feast on.
The festive event arrived alongside a stuffed V6.4 update that originally made its way to players last weekend. Although the event itself kicked off a few days ago, there’s never been a better time to dive in and see what turkey-themed activities there are to enjoy.
Roblox Blade Ball players can access the Thanksgiving Event themselves by keeping an eye out for the turkey NPC in the lobby. Those who manage to spot a turkey in their games can be granted Turkey Coins and unlock unique rewards. It’s an event filled with distractions to keep competitors busy...
I arrived here quite by accident—one moment I was in the year 1619, the next, standing amidst a cacophony of lights, an endless sea of goods, and this strange entity called IGN dot com. At first, I feared I had been ensnared by sorcery, but now I have access to something far more wondrous: Black Friday shopping.
What is this curious holiday where people queue in droves to trade their coin for treasures I could scarcely dream of? As I learned of these deals and contraptions, I vowed to document my findings. For if you, too, were a time traveler, these are the marvels you'd surely wish to bring home—these marvels (the best Black Friday deals to shop on Thanksgiving, by the way) would astonish any soul, no matter the century.

Palworld developer Pocketpair has teased a major update for the game coming in December as well as a crossover with Terraria.
Taking to the Palworld Discord, Pocketpair said the December update adds the “largest, harshest, and most mysterious” island yet to Palworld. This new island is about six times bigger than Sakurajima, which hit Palworld in June.
“Don't miss it!” Pocketpair teased alongisde the screenshots, below.
Meanwhile, Pocketpair teased a surprise crossover with indie smash hit Terraria. There are no details yet, but artwork, below, shows characters from both games clasping hands. Expect whatever this is to arrive in 2025.
All this comes, of course, as Pocketpair works to defend itself in a high-profile patent lawsuit...
A terminally-ill Borderlands fan recently visited developer Gearbox to play Borderlands 4 early after his story went viral.
In October, 37-year-old Caleb McAlpine took to the Borderlands 3 subreddit to reveal his late stage four terminal cancer diagnosis after being given seven to 12 months left to live, or less than two years if chemotherapy slows the progression of the cancer.
“So I am a die hard Borderlands fan and don’t know if I will be around for Borderlands 4,” McAlpine said. “Is there anyone that knows how to get in touch with Gearbox to see if there is a way to play the game early?
“Long shot but thought I would try.
“Thanks for your help.”
After McAlpine’s post went viral with over 19,000 upvotes on Reddit alone...
Woot has ripped and torn through the price of the epic Doom Anthology for PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch, shooting it in the face with 31% off in the name of Black Friday.
The magnum opus of Doomguy usually goes for $79.99, but it's got a bloody solid Black Friday price of $54.99. Did we mention the included 5-inch BFG replica? It has LED lights and a stand. Imagine looking at it and then at your TV as you chainsaw an IMP in two? Sweet, sweet nightmare fuel.
Doom Anthology covers the entire history of Doom, from the beginning and right up to Doom Eternal. That's six iconic games with an exclusive steel book, but let's address the elephant in the room. Yep, all the games are download codes, which, for the price tag, isn't the biggest...
No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games has hailed hitting a ‘very positive’ Steam user review user rating for the first time, eight years after the game’s controversial launch was slammed by players.
Space sim No Man’s Sky launched in August 2016 on PS4 and PC to tens of thousands of negative reviews on Steam, with players complaining about broken promises and a lack of meaningful content, particularly on the multiplayer side. The game quickly settled on the dreaded ‘overwhelmingly negative’ Steam user review rating, a clear sign to anyone who visited its Steam page that something was very wrong.
But Guildford, England-based Hello Games has continued to update No Man’s Sky over the years, improving player sentiment to the point where it...
A new game from Tencent has been accused of “ripping off” Sony’s Horizon video game series.
Light of Motiram, from Shanghai-based Tencent subsidiary Polaris Quest, is described as an open-world multiplayer survival game “where nature meets machine.”
Those are the sort of generic gameplay descriptions you’d find on any Steam page, but it’s how Light of Motiram looks that’s set tongues wagging online. From teaser videos and screenshots, below, we can see a remarkable likeness to Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, complete with robot beasts and a female character who weilds a bow and arrow, all in what looks like a familiar post-apocalyptic setting and art style.
“Rebuild a new civilization and battle, befriend and...
Audible has released its first interactive audio experience: Watch Dogs: Truth.
The collaboration with Ubisoft lets listeners make decisions at the end of each episode, shaping the fate of the characters and the resistance’s success.
Story wise, Watch Dogs: Truth is set after the events of 2020’s Watch Dogs: Legion, the third and so far last game in Ubisoft’s open-world hacking action adventure series. Having cleared their names and saved the city during the Zero Day Affair, DedSec continues its mission to expose the truth. The self-aware AI Bagley (Pascal Langdale) returns from Legion to act as a guide for listeners as the characters navigate a city under siege by disinformation and the cyber intelligence force SIRS.

I adore PC gaming. It's the platform that gets almost every game, with plenty coming out on PC years earlier than they reach consoles. And if you enjoy your games on PC, you know one of the best times to buy games is during Steam's sales. Many people (myself included) have been looking forward to the Steam Autumn Sale, which runs from now until December 4th.
Strangely, the Steam Autumn sale is currently being outdone by a Black Friday sale going on at Fanatical, even though Fanatical is selling the exact same Steam keys! If you want to buy some games (and who doesn't?) and save extra cash, check out my round-up of the best deals on digital PC game codes.

If you are into horror games and still haven't played Silent Hill 2, now is a great chance to start as the PS5 version of Silent Hill 2 is more than half off at Walmart for Black Friday. As one of several Black Friday video game deals going on right now, the Silent Hill 2 remake was one highly requested by fans, and it did not disappoint. The game makes you uncomfortable but in an effective and thrilling way. In true horror fashion, there's blackout darkness, suffocating fog, unknown noises, grotesque enemies, and isolation. From our review, Matt Purslow states "The remake is a modern reminder not just of an era where Konami was a master of survival horror, but also the significant power of Silent Hill 2’s unrelenting misery." So, are...
Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian has detailed the game’s last major patch — and it’s a big one.
Patch 8, due out in 2025, adds crossplay, photo mode, and 12 new subclasses to the hugely successful role-playing game. In a blog post, Larian said Patch 8 is the game’s last major update, with the developer moving on to brand new games away from the Dungeons & Dragons universe.
However, Larian promised to continue to support Baldur’s Gate 3 modders, with “big updates still to come,” including more functionality “to let you tell your own stories.” Official mod tools were released in September, and since then players have uploaded more than 3,000 mods and downloaded over 70 million.
The addition of crossplay means Baldur’s Gate 3...
IGN can exclusively reveal that Dark Sector, the 2008 third-person shooter from Warframe developer Digital Extremes, is now free on Steam for the next 72 hours in celebration of the upcoming free Warframe: 1999 expansion that is set to be released in December 2024.
Aside from a small number of regions like Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, Steam users can head over to Dark Sector's Steam page and download the game right now and skip its current $9.99 price tag.
For those unfamiliar, Dark Sector places you in the shoes of Hayden Tenno, a covert operative who must invade the fictional Eastern European city of Lasria that hides a very dangerous Cold War secret. During his mission, he gets infected with a Technocyte Virus...
Sony has confirmed the PlayStation Plus monthly games for December 2024, and revealed some bonus extras to coincide with the wider PlayStation 30th anniversary celebrations.
In a PlayStation Blog post, Sony said It Takes Two, Aliens: Dark Descent, and Temtem all launch December 3 for PlayStation Plus members and are available until January 6.
It Takes Two is Hazelight Studios’ co-op platform adventure, and its release into PS Plus is well-timed given the developer has teased the announcement of its next game. IGN’s It Takes Two review returned a 9/10. We said: “It Takes Two is a beautiful, breakneck-paced, co-op adventure that’s bubbling over with creativity.”
Aliens: Dark Descent is Tindalos Interactive’s real-time tactics game...
