I never quite understood the rivalry between pirates and ninjas, but Steam’s latest sale is offering discounts on a variety of titles that feature stealth, swashbuckling, and occasionally both. Regardless of which side of the argument you fall on, you can find discounts on essential titles like Sea of Thieves, Mark of the Ninja Remastered, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Return to Monkey Island, and more through Jan. 29. While many of these discounts are reserved for slightly older titles, you can still find some modest discounts on newer titles too. Below, we’ve pulled together some of our recommendations for you to browse, conveniently sorted into pirates and ninjas.

After a brief delay, Bethesda has released Starfield’s biggest update yet via Steam Beta, which consists of well over 100 bug fixes and improvements to enhance players’ spacefaring experiences.

Ravendawn is the latest MMORPG to hit the masses today, as it is now available for play to anyone who enjoys a good ol’ top-down 2D classic style game with a massive open world to explore. 

The Dell G16 is one of the brand’s most popular gaming laptops, so it won’t be a surprise if Dell’s offer that slashes $600 off its price gets sold out quickly. From an original price of $1,800 for a configuration with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card, it’s down to only $1,200 — a steal, considering the features of this device. You’re going to have to hurry if you want to take part in this clearance sale though, as we’re not sure if stocks of the gaming laptop will still be available by tomorrow.

A round of videogame company layoffs following a period of "unsustainable" spending? It must be a Wednesday. Swedish conglomerate Thunderful Group AB - whose corporate possessions include Somerville developer Jumpship and several teams working on the SteamWorld games - have announced that they will lay off around 20 percent of their staff as part of a restructuring program that "stems primarily from over-investments made in the last few years".

Diablo IV’s third seasonal event, Season of the Construct, has been revealed and kicks off next week. This time, players will journey beneath Kehjistan to battle demonically corrupted machines.

Following a cryptic tease during CES 2024, Ayaneo has revealed its Next Lite gaming handheld and it's a confusing product, to say the least. It's designed to compete with Steam Deck, but it doesn't run Valve's official SteamOS — rather, it uses a forked version called HoloISO. It will be priced at a decent $299 and while the controls and screen look good, it packs a less-than-potent processor.

Tekken 8’s first DLC character will be a familiar face: Eddy Gordo, the capoeira pro who has previously appeared in the mainline roster of the fighting game series since 1997’s Tekken 3.

If you want a powerful gaming laptop, you should be ready to make a huge purchase because you’re not going to get fast performance from a machine that you can buy for cheap. You should be on the lookout for discounts though, such as Best Buy’s offer for the HP Omen 16 that slashes its price to $1,200 from $1,850. The $650 in savings will go a long way towards building out the rest of your collection of video games and accessories, but you’ll only get it if you hurry with the transaction because the bargain may sell out much sooner than you think.
