You’ll find all of these offers available directly through EA’s own Origin platform, or you can shop around at a few other digital retailers to find savings of a few extra pennies on some of the games.

Ubisoft has opened up the Insider Program for Skull and Bones, which provides the opportunity to get a sneak peek at the game while also providing real data and feedback. This won’t be a series of demos, but full-on playing current builds and it sounds as though you will need to have ample personal time to thoroughly test. Ubisoft particularly wants participants to be “dedicated to testing work in progress versions,” and the ideal candidate will have a keen interest in game development, with plenty of time to allocate to testing and reporting issues, bugs, or just general feedback....

If you’ve ever been confused or mislead by the massive bundles of premium currecny you get in games, or if you’ve been suckered in by time-limited offers, this new guidance is liable to have an effect on you.

In a Steam Deck hardware deep dive with IGN, Valve developer Pierre-Loup Griffais explained that the industry trend of pushing sharper resolutions and higher framerates bodes well for the upcoming handheld, in part because of its low-resolution screen and 30fps target. This made it sound like Valve is targeting 30fps for Steam Deck games, which didn’t quite make sense given Steam Deck’s impressive specs, so Griffais has now clarified what he actually meant by that....

“First off, we wanted to say thanks for all of your tweets, emails and posts,” the post begins. “The continued interest in Artifact has been encouraging, and we sincerely appreciate all of the feedback! “You might notice some changes soon - we are starting tests on our systems and infrastructure.

It’s the biggest discount we’ve seen so far on Ubisoft’s open-world hack-em-up set in a near-future London. All versions of the game are reduced, so whether you’re playing on last-gen, PS5 or Xbox Series X you’ll pay the same price. Reviews of the Watch Dogs: Legion – including VG247’s very own – have been mixed, to say the least. Nevertheless, if this sort of classic Ubi collectathon is your jam then it’s a decent price for the game....

The first choice you’ll make in Watch Dogs: Legion is who you want your very first recruit to be. After the bombings by the mysterious Zero-Day and its allies, Sabine will attempt to rebuild DedSec and you get to choose who you want to play as.

It is kind of hard for me to imagine the player did not have that freedom before,” explained creative director Adrian Chmielarz....

A quick look at eBay will show you that people are listing codes that have been picked up from Burger King, for a limited-time in-game cosmetic, and the going rate is often over £30.
