Steam Spring Sale: best deals, how long is the sale, and more

Microsoft has kicked off Xbox’s Spring Sale.

It’s April Fools’ Day, but this post is no joke: There is a lot of new TV to watch this week. In a lot of ways it’s a showdown of tense situations — “tense,” here, being used to cover things like Tom Ripley (Andrew Scott, in the new adaptation) trying to con his way into high society, American Horror Story: Delicate’s Anna (Emma Roberts) attempting to figure what’s a real haunting and what’s in her head, Mark (Steven Yeun) trying to live up to the title of Invincible while he protects his family, or Larry David (Larry David) just trying to make it through the end of Curb Your Enthusiasm alive.

On April 8, a solar eclipse will be visible across most of North America, varying in degree depending on location, according to NASA. Residents within the path of totality, extending from Texas to Maine, will observe a total eclipse, while those outside this band will witness a partial eclipse. To engage the public, NASA is organizing in-person events, providing opportunities to experience NASA science, and offering online streaming options.

Close to a colossal 4,000 PS5 and PS4 games are on sale in Sony’s epic Spring Sale, which is rolling out at the time of writing and scheduled to run through 24th April. A second phase of deals will be added to the current crop on 10th April, potentially making this one of the biggest PS Store promotions in history.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has launched PlayStation Store’s Spring Sale.

PlayStation Store’s Spring Sale begins tomorrow, Wednesday March 27. For a limited time* you can enjoy deep discounts of up to 70% off across a wide selection of games and add-ons. That includes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Cross-Gen Edition, NBA 2K24 Black Mamba Edition, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden and many, many more.

Storage is one of the major concerns when it comes to owning a portable PC. So, if you're soon to be a new owner of a Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or Nintendo Switch, you should absolutely consider getting a microSD card alongside and boosting the available storage that they have up considerably. Below, you can find a selection of excellent SD card deals.

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.

Amazon is selling a two-pack of SanDisk microSD cards for $25 as part of the company’s Big Spring Sale. Each card is 128GB, totaling 256GB of sweet, sweet game storage. These are drives that have been designed and pre-formatted for Nintendo Switch systems, though they’ll work with just about any microSD reader. This deal, however, is only for Prime members.

The cast and composer for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hyrda have been revealed, showing fans who will be voicing Captain America, Black Panther, and more. After over a year of relative silence, Skydance Interactive and Marvel showed off their upcoming game collaboration in a big way earlier this week with a blockbuster Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra trailer. The game was first revealed back in 2022, with the base premise being Captain America and Black Panther joining forces to take down Hydra during World War 2.

PS5 deals have hit both the US and UK in Amazon's Spring Sale, offering up a fantastic Spider-Man 2 bundle with a price cut to boot in the former region and a record discount on the console itself across the pond. That means players on both sides of the ocean can grab Sony's latest console with some serious value attached. 

The CRKD Nitro Deck made some big plays into the Switch controller market when it launched last year. As someone who's always struggled to stay comfy with the Nintendo Switch's smaller size, I was really content with the Nitro Deck's chunkier build and futureproofed design.
