Deep Cut Discounts on Horizons, Dying Light 2, Monster Huntin', Hogwarts, and More!

We've got some good news for Dragon's Dogma fans in the UK, as it has been discounted for both Xbox and PS5 before its release day this week. All you need to do is use code FRESH20 when preordering the game from The Game Collection via eBay, and rest assured your order will arrive for release day on March 22. This will bring the game down to just £50.36 (see here) on PS5, and £49.36 on Xbox, and a huge saving of around £20 when compared to buying the game digitally at £69.99.

Spring is almost upon us (or already here for those lucky enough to not be living in Canada) and that means the Steam Spring Sale is in full swing, offering discounts on thousands of titles. This year, we’re getting deep discounts on some of 2023’s top games, including Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo IV, Mortal Kombat 1, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Recent hits like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Palworld are also getting their first modest discounts. Of course, some perennial favorites like GTA V are also on sale. I’ve picked out a selection of deals that might pique your interest. Check the list out, below.

Thank your own personal deity—possibly Akatosh—it's Friday! Let's keep this intro brief because I'd rather earmark you mad savings rather than chew your ear off with non-essential words. If you've been waiting for a good entrypoint price for Baldur's Gate 3, today's is probably the best you'll see for a while—it's an amazing game that almost never sees a drop. My other personal picks include a sub-three-buck deal for Titanfall 2 with its surprisingly excellent FPS campaign. And that's the same absurd price range for Hotline Miami, the toe-tappingest, top-down 2D murderfest ever.

Pre-orders for the latest wave of 4K Blu-rays featuring Disney Plus original shows are live. The collector’s edition Steelbooks for the first seasons of Andor, Obi-Wan,Moon Knight, and The Falcon & The Winter Soldier vary in price, and can currently be reserved at Amazon or Walmart ahead of their April 30 launch.

Today I'm all about bang-for-your-buck bundle deals. Because why spend heaps on a hot and current AAA when you can score a low-cost cluster of classics? A Sega Mega Drive Collection, a gaggle of Trines, three Batman games actually worth giving a damn about, every Expanded Universe Star Wars game under the sun—these are the smart plays, my friend.

If you caught our Rise of the Ronin preview content and are keen, there's a sub-level discount you'll appreciate. I've spent a good six hours with this samurai epic and can confirm that it's well worth unsheathing your wallet for—click here for a longer version of why that is. Beyond that, you should also be aware that there are cheaper than usual Mario games afoot right now. Wonder, in particular, is well worth your coins.

Monster Hunter Now is getting its first season, “The Vernal Invader” next week, with new content, new monsters, features, quests, and more. 

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has received the version 1.002.000 update, finally bringing the much-requested New Game+ mode, new suits for the two heroes, and a host of new quality-of-life features. The latest patch also adds the ability to replay missions, change the in-game time of day, and some handy accessibility options. The Spider-Man 2 update, however, has also brought an unintended bug. Developer Insomniac Games confirmed that the patch could grant players access to a development game menu, which could end up impacting save files and trophy progress.

Thank your own personal deity—possibly the titular Dragon's Dogma 2 dragon—it's Friday! This morning, I should like to turn your attention to a sale of some old EA-owned gold that's made its way to Steam for the first time. Chief among them for me is The Saboteur, basically a WWII GTA set in Paris. I'm also all about the dirt cheap tsunami of Command & Conquer games, too.

Capcom’s has dropped several new details and a release window for Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, an upcoming action strategy title. During Capcom Highlights Day 1, it offered a gameplay deep dive. Check it out below.

Today, it's time to pay not that much to score quite a heck of a lot, thanks to Humble Bundle. The tastiest component in said package has got to be Nioh 2, top action-RPG and spiritual predecessor of the imminently forthcoming Rise of the Ronin. The latter keeps all the samurai action, strips out the supernatural enemies (plus giant enemy crabs), and adds in a backpack glider not unlike the Bat-tastic one from the Arkham series. Pretty good formula so far, no?

Microsoft has announced new titles coming to Xbox Game Pass in early to mid March, which includes MLB The Show 24, Lightyear Frontier, Control Ultimate Edition, and more.
