Red Dead II, Rift Apart, and Jedi Survivor Prices Get Blasted in Half, Plus More!

Thank your own personal deity—possibly Yim Lau Wong—it's (almost Black) Friday. I couldn't tell you why, but the onslaught of said sales period has hit much earlier than anticipated today. We are awash with bargains, friend. Stake your claim on some ridiculously cheap stuff before it's gone, and have a wonderful weekend.

Welcome back to another glorious midpoint of the week that's filled with mad savings. Top of the list has got to be that PC Warner Bros. bundle because holy fiscally responsible decisions, Batman, that's a lot for a little. I'm also liking Harvey's take on Animal Crossing's official RRP. Personally, I'm just hoping for Amazon to match, so I can score some sweet free delivery action with Prime.

Happy Friday, Polygon readers!

Thank your own personal deity—possibly The Outsider—it's Friday! I recommend you stock up for the weekend by using Fanatical's continuing flash sales and some console AAA price drops on Amazon. Personally, I'll be looking into a purchase of that reduced third-party PS5 charger stand. Those things are always handy when USB ports are at a premium.

If you took the bold plunge on an import Steam Deck like yours truly, today's your day. Humble Bundle has collated some impressive discounts on handheld PC games. Be sure to get in and pay less on commute-slaying experiences. Ubisoft (among others) also seem to be quite determined to shift a bunch of Ultimate Editions out the door as well. Grab you the "bestest versions" while the going's good.

BioWare, the developer behind EA's Dragon Age and Mass Effect franchises, has released a new trailer for its next Mass Effect game and it teases a connection to the original trilogy and the Andromeda sequel, and maybe even a new protagonist. Since yesterday was November 7, known as N7 Day in the Mass Effect community as a reference to the N7 Systems Alliance military in the series, BioWare launched a countdown on a special Mass Effect «Epsilon» web page. 

Welcome back to the grind, fellow bargain-hunting game connoisseurs. I've found us a bunch of AAA Switch titles that have limboed down to the uncommon $59 mark (along with, er, Limbo itself, which is like 90% off). But the biggest news today has got to be the continuing 9 And Above Humble Bundle from last week, plus the genuinely great Fanatical Birthday Sale. Lots of stuff to see. Don't waste time reading this intro. Sally forth and save, friend.

Not to toot the horn too much, but damn, are we attached to quite the bundle right now. Scroll down a little, and you'll be met by The Nine and Above package for PC on Humble Bundle. The dollar-to-hours ratio is insane. Plus, there's the worthy cause and fuzzy feels attached to the purchase as well.

The Day Before has had a rough couple of years ever since it was announced back in 2021. So rough that some have suggested that it might not actually exist. To reassure the skeptical, developer FNTASTIC just released a new gameplay trailer for The Day Before that includes a December release date.

It's time to celebrate two things—the start of November and a bit of Mid-week Madness discounting. The former is great because it means our end-of-year breaks are within rendering distance (not just some objectless HUD marker on the horizon). And the benefits of discounts? Well, that speaks for itself, really. There's a fair chance we'll need to give gifts during the aforementioned break. May as well score 'em cheap now.

Rare’s Perfect Dark is a spiritual successor to GoldenEye 007, one of the most influential shooters of the Nintendo 64 era. If you’ve never played the original capers of special agent Joanna Dark, you can now check it out on PC.

Thank your own personal deity—possibly Lorkhan—it's Friday! Just as I'd hoped it might, lightning has struck twice—the amazing discount on Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has caught on with other retailers. So if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber, do take advantage of that price chop plus their free shipping.
