Those game shop and digital shelves are looking mighty tempting this Friday, with price drops that’ll loosen even the tightest wallet strings. Whether you’re planning a wintry weekend indoors or chipping away at your gaming backlog, this fresh stack of discounts across consoles and PC has something worth clicking into. From long-awaited sequels to welcome cuts on prime Switch 2 launch titles.

This Day in Gaming ?

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 22nd birthday of WarioWare Inc., the Game Boy Advance grandaddy of a beloved microgames empire. Along with absurd tasks like picking one's nose skillfully or shooting a bidet sprayer at a starfish-shaped something, I recall being delighted with the snippets from NES classics and this weirdly addictive Paper Plane bonus game. Oh, it's also the 12th birthday of Remember Me today, a game I totally finished but have completely forgotten about. Nobody has ever made that joke before.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

Nintendo Switch users can rev their engines with Mario Kart World (A$94), which, trivia alert, marks the first time a mainline Mario Kart featured real-world locations inspired by cities like Tokyo and Paris. Meanwhile, Yakuza 0 Dir. (A$79) makes its portable debut on Switch, with devs confirming the disco mini-game’s ludicrous dance animations were motion-captured by actual SEGA staff.

Pure Scores for PlayStation

For PS5 players, God of War Ragnarök (A$88.20) includes a touching tribute to the late voice actor Shad Gaspard, hidden in one of Kratos’s optional dialogue paths. And Assassin’s Creed Shadows (A$64) recreates the historical city of Kyoto using Edo-period records for added authenticity.

Finally, on PC, Deathloop (A$0) is yours for free. You can still find a note from one of the devs telling players “you’ve broken the loop” if they glitch through a certain door in Updaam. And No Man’s Sky (A$35.10) continues to shine as the gold standard for post-launch redemption arcs.
