Don’t you know? It’s time to return to Elden Ring to polish your character before the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion drops in June. For those who haven’t played the base game at all (oh, how I wish I could experience this game again with fresh eyes), you have an opportunity to snag a rare discount on Elden Ring, which is required to own if you ever plan to play the upcoming DLC. If you need more convincing, even after it took home Polygon’s game of the year prize in 2022, check out our Elden Ringreview.
At GameStop and Amazon, you can get the PlayStation 5 version of the game for $39.99 (normally $59.99). We’ve seen this price before, but it was during big holiday sale events like Black Friday. Perhaps, since we recently passed Feb. 25, this is a belated two-year anniversary price cut for players to enjoy. Should GameStop and Amazon sell out of their stock, the next best price is $42.99 at Best Buy.

Elden Ring is an open-world RPG with a dark-fantasy setting full of otherworldly creatures and powerful bosses. Players must contend with these obstacles on their journey to become the next Elden Lord.
This deal, unfortunately, excludes gamers who play on Xbox or PC. You can get the Xbox version at Best Buy for $49.99, $10 off the original price (physical copies for the Xbox platform seem scarce at major retailers). On Steam, Elden Ring isn’t participating in the big Steam spring sale, even though it has been previously discounted on that platform.

CD Projekt RED has essentially committed to none of its future single player games featuring microtransactions as the Polish developer states it doesn't «see a place for microtransactions in the case of single player games». The studio's CFO Piotr Nielubowicz said as such in an investor's chat via StockWatch.pl, but the micro-purchases are something the team could explore for online experiences: «We do not rule out that we will use this solution in the future in the case of multiplayer projects.»
CD Projekt Red's chief operating officer Piotr Nielubowicz has said that the studio's single-player games may never have microtransactions, but its inclusion in multiplayer projects hasn't been ruled out.
Following CD Projekt RED's recent quarterly report, where we learned that The Witcher 4 (Polaris) is still in pre-production, a couple of executives were invited by the Polish financial site StockWatch to answer a few questions.
A senior CD Projekt Red official has gone on record to state that the studio doesn't believe microtransactions have a place in single-player games. And while that move effectively reiterated the company's long-standing stance on game monetization, CD Projekt Red isn't entirely ruling out the possibility of implementing microtransactions in the future.
A talented PS5 owner-cum-Call of Duty fan has created a custom PS5 faceplate that features the popular CoD character Simon Riley, aka Ghost. Impressively, the console gamer took care of everything, from sketching to inking, on their own.
CD Projekt's chief financial officer, Piotr Nielubowicz, says the company does «not see a place for microtransactions in the case of single-player games».
There are a lot of upcoming CD Projekt Red games, and if you're worried that the studio might change its ways and go all-in on microtransactions in a fit of capitalism, don't worry. The studio says it doesn't see a place for microtransactions in single-player games - only multiplayer titles.
CD Projekt Red are continuing to bulk up the team developing The Witcher 4 - officially codenamed Polaris - with two-thirds of the studio now working on the follow-up to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Meanwhile, the team working on Cyberpunk 2077 has shrunk to fewer than 20 people, less than half the number working on its upcoming sequel.
Shift Up’s free demo for Stellar Blade goes live on March 29th, but in the meantime, various publications like Game Informer received early access and showcased some fresh gameplay. If you’re one of the few who didn’t try the demo when it accidentally went live early, it showcases the initial portions of the game as Eve battles through various Naytiba.
That’s it, guys, we made it: Time for March to go out like a lamb, as the old adage says, and spring has sprung — most notably (“most” here for if you are not the type who wants to go touch literal grass) in the form of our spring preview, which forecasts some of the best TV shows, movies, books, anime, and more coming this season.
