Over 90% off Co-op Shooters, a Star War, and a GOAT Trilogy, Plus $100 off a Console Starter Bundle!

Thank your own personal deity—possibly Kaheva the Blacksmith—it's Friday! This is gonna be a short intro because I'm far too busy smashing through review code of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. I'm only three hours in so far, which is about as deep as I was allowed to go during my recent hands-on (and my positive impressions of that experience have not changed, obviously). Anyway... stay safe, save often, and catch you Monday!

If Pokemon GO fans thought the glitter and glitz would end with the New Year’s Event, they’ve got a pleasant surprise coming with the latest in-game event. Niantic has announced a sparkling January Dazzling Dream event featuring fairy-type Pokemon.

Marvel’s What If…? series director Bryan Andrews has opened up about a rejected pitch that would have seen with one another.

The director of Daisy Ridley’s post-Rise of Skywalker Star Wars movie says it’s going to be "very special".

The upcoming Star Wars Outlaws open-world adventure from Massive Entertainment is easily one of the most exciting projects on Ubisoft’s upcoming slate, but the French publisher has been somewhat sketchy about when the game may launch. The broad release window we’ve been given in 2024, but recent Ubisoft financial statements hinted an early 2024 release may have been pushed back.

Thank your own personal deity—possibly Doomguy after typing 'IDDQD'—it's Friday! Today is all about the continuing deals of "Winter" at places like Fanatical, Green Man Gaming and the various first-party console eshops. I've done my best to filter through the white noise of a thousand odd "deals" to find you the true hidden gold. Business as usual, basically.

Valve offered a peek behind the curtain of Steam’s biggest games of 2023 on Wednesday, revealing which titles dominated the sales charts on PC gaming’s biggest digital platform. Valve also divulged which games Steam users — and Steam Deck owners — played the most this year, with Baldur’s Gate 3, Hogwarts Legacy, Starfield, and Sons of the Forest appearing in multiple top-12 lists.

The boxing day deals continue unabated today, and I've corralled the best of 'em into a no-nonsense list for you. Well, there's a little bit of nonsense in there. Nerf Legends is pushing the envelope on what I'd consider a worthy game purchase. But hey—50 bucks off is 50 bucks off. Buy it for a younger sibling.

Today's a top day for two things: great gaming deals and frosty decorations that don't translate well to our oven-esque hemisphere. I'm pausing my family's Festivus Celebrations early—including this afternoon's Feats of Strength—to hunt discounts for you instead. I've got a great list going that will swell even larger tomorrow, thanks to the usual Boxing Day madness. Be sure to swing back around!

Though it sounds bizarre to say it, some retailers think today is the perfect time to deploy their "boxing day" marked deals. While that wreaks havoc with my everything must be just so OCD, it's kind of awesome too. The EOY shopping experience is going to be way better if I'm not also sporting an egg nog hangover or nursing a Christmas ham food baby. By all means, let's jump the gun every year!

'Tis the season for holiday savings on games, as PlayStation has officially kicked off their massive Holiday Sale. The list of digital games included in this sale event is huge (you can check out every title available in the sale in their PlayStation Blog Holiday Sale post). It even features excellent new releases from this year that are well worth picking up, like Alan Wake 2 and even The Game Awards' Game of the Year winner, Baldur's Gate 3, has a slight discount.

If you're a patient one who has been biding their time on a Potterverse purchase, today's the day to end your game purchasing dry spell. It also has to be said that you can bag many a bargain at the fine retro repository that is GOG. Last but not least, it's pretty rare to see a discount this large on the mighty Xbox Series X, so by all means bag yourself the best 'Box MS has ever produced.
