Fanatical is offering some of the best deals around on Sony's excellent PlayStation Studios games for PC.

A few years ago, the very idea of PlayStation-exclusive games appearing on a non-Sony platform sounded ridiculous. These days? Sony's first-party lineup has made its way to PC and has been met with huge success, allowing for a whole new audience to experience these games with all the benefits of those powerful systems (with occasional headaches. As part of Fanatical's Black Friday sale, you can build your own library of PlayStation's greatest hits for less than the prices offered in Steam's Autumn Sale. Plus, you'll get to spin the Black Friday wheel and get a coupon or free game by spending $12 or more.
All games are delivered instantly as Steam keys.
Cheaper than Steam--where you can currently find some great Autumn Sale deals--you can pick superhero action, a Nordic saga for the ages, a post-apocalyptic drama, a gorgeous action-platformer starring not one, but two Lombax, and plenty more.
All of these games are sold as Steam codes that you can redeem on your account, so it's not like you'll need another launcher to access them. Some of the highlights include Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a pair of terrific open-world action games starring New York's favorite webheads. Insomniac raised the bar for Spider-Man games with these new entries, as they combine heart, charm, and exhilarating gameplay into a fun package of web-slinging.
Looking for some Saturday morning cartoon fun? Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is an effortlessly charming platformer starring the PlayStation icons and their multiversal counterparts. The game really shines visually if you've got the hardware for it and the weapons are wonderfully chaotic. Rift Apart released earlier this year on PC, so this is a fantastic deal.
If you're feeling masochistic then you can pick up Returnal from developer HouseMarque. A third-person Souls-like mixed with arcade bullet-hell gameplay, Returnal is unrelentingly difficult and yet incredibly compelling as you attempt to finally escape a never-ending cycle of death and rebirth.

At only $11, Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition is a steal that'll scratch your itch for open-world exploration. Who doesn't want to topple giant robot dinosaurs?
Days Gone might be considered the weakest game on this list, but it has its charm. It's a zombie

Somehow, LEGO Fortnite players have discovered how to build a teleporter creation that replicates fast travel. I have no idea how they did it, but it happened.
Grand Theft Auto V leads the pack of new titles coming to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium game catalog, this month. Starting December 19, all higher-tier PS Plus members can hop back into the lively city of Los Santos and experience a tale of perilous heists and betrayal as a street hustler, a retired bank robber, and an impulsive criminal's lives become intertwined in a twisted odyssey. While the game has been out for quite some time now, this addition perfectly lines up with the new GTA Online update ‘The Chop Shop,' which brings a salvage yard and drift racing into the mix. GTA V will be available to play on both PS4 and PS5.

If you're playing LEGO Fortnite, one of the most crucial items you need early on is the Knotroot Wood, but where can you find it?
If you're a few hours into your LEGO Fortnite survival playthrough, you'll have hit a point where to upgrade your Village more, you'll need to get some Marble. But where can you find it?
LEGO Fortnite is a surprisingly in-depth survival crafting game that throws players in at the deep end, requiring them to build a village and start to farm resources to help them progress further and further. A key component in villages is Planks, but it’s unclear how to get them.
@TheBrandedSwordsman Indeed, I’m interested in your thoughts on it.
