I pretty much just stick to free games on the Epic Games Store — speaking of which: this week's freebie is NBA 2K21 of all things — but I know some of you love your (basically) limitless $10 off coupons. With the Epic Mega Sale ...

Since launching on March 26, Hazelight's co-op adventure game It Takes Two has sold a million copies across PC and consoles, and it's "still going strong," according to the developer. You love to see it. As a bigger, bolder, and more inven...

SOMA has got to be one of my favorite horror games of the past decade – doubly so when I try to think about contenders that aren't remasters, remakes, or rehashes. It's heartwarming to hear that I'm far from alone in feeling that way,...

The creepy horror-adventure game Little Nightmares II has cleared one million sales in its first month. After recently getting into the original game in preparation for the sequel and ending up loving them both, it's nice to hear. If you en...

Devolver Digital and Four Quarters have quite the roguelike strategy hit on their hands with Loop Hero, a game that's hard to fully "get" until you've looked at the clock and realized you just lost several hours in an instant. Plenty &ndash...

I don't tend to keep up with Sony's monthly most-downloaded-games lists for the PlayStation Store, but a few months after the PlayStation 5 launch seems like a good time to check in. What are people actually playing? As someone who has boug...

Blasphemous is one of those games that left me hoping it sold well enough for its creators to keep doing what they know and love. It's a gripping and often unforgiving action-platformer set in a world dominated by religious fervor, and as d...

Valheim has struck a chord with Steam players who are always looking for the next great survival game to play alone and with friends. After seeing the Viking survival game on the top-sellers list all week and thinking "Hey, I gotta try that...

It's once again sale time on the PlayStation Store, and thankfully, there's now a much-needed Deals tab when browsing the shop on a PS5. The Critics' Choice sale lasts until February 17, 2021. I have quite a few highlights before I get to t...

A whole lot of people were in the mood to squad up with their friends (and even strangers) in Deep Rock Galactic last year, and that momentum is only picking up. The cave-busting co-op game cleared two million copies sold – a big step...

I'm floored that Pikmin 3 is gaining some traction on Switch, but I'd be lying if I didn't wish that same success on the Wii U. Look, I'll never stop pouring out beverages of assorted varieties for the Wii U (same for the Vita). It was...

Nintendo highlighted the best-selling indie games of 2020 on Nintendo Switch, and not to guilt-trip you or anything, but I'm curious: how many of these did you manage to play? Anything slip by? Any to-dos? Here's the list of games, in orde...

I always enjoy winding down the year with a look at Steam's list of best-selling games. Besides high-profile new releases like Cyberpunk 2077 and surprise indie hits like Phasmophobia, 2020 was another year of gaming dominated by old flames...

Like a persistent group of carolers aggressively wishing you a merry Christmas while you peek through a safe window and pretend you're not home, the PlayStation Store is back with more video game deals. PlayStation's 2020 Holiday Sale start...

If you didn't stock up on PS4 games during Black Friday or Cyber Monday, here's another chance. The PlayStation Store is hosting one of its final sales of 2020: the End of Year sale. We've almost made it. For those of us who have switched o...

Even if you aren't proactively hunting down Black Friday gaming deals, it's still worth popping over to the Epic Games Store this week to claim MudRunner – a sim game about trudging through "untamed landscapes" with big burly vehicles...

It's that time of year again: the time when we stuff ourselves with discounted PC games and too much food. The 2020 Steam Autumn Sale began today with thousands of deals running until December 1. From the looks of the best-sellers list, peo...

The PlayStation Store Black Friday sale began today, and while the best discounts (and frankly the best games period) are still on PlayStation 4, there are cross-gen PS5 deals. Not many, but some. On the PS5 front, there's Watch Dogs: Legio...

In case you needed more affirmations that Ghost of Tsushima was a big success for Sucker Punch Productions and Sony, here's an updated sales figure: five million copies since launch day on July 17. As for what those sales actually mean, in...

The PlayStation Store is running a Games of a Generation sale until October 14, and if you've been waiting for a discount on the digital copy of Ghost of Tsushima, here it is. $45 is a more-than-fine price. I just wrapped up the story this ...

Microsoft is calling Microsoft Flight Simulator the "biggest game launch in Xbox Game Pass for PC history," and there's a concrete figure to back up that hazy milestone: over a million unique players. The most popular airport? JFK. The long...

The future couldn't be brighter for Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. Just three weeks after launching on PlayStation 4 and PC, the online obstacle-course party game has reached two ridiculous milestones. Sony has called Fall Guys the "most dow...

Mega Man started out on a Nintendo platform, so it only feels natural that Capcom bring as many games as possible to the Switch. Although things were very slow going at first (bring every Mega Man on NES and SNES to the Switch Online suite,...

Frontier Developments has reported over a million sales for Planet Zoo as of "early May 2020." That pace – a million Steam copies sold in about six months on the market – puts Planet Zoo "several months ahead of any of Frontier'...

As a long-time Animal Crossing fan who's over the moon about New Horizons, it's heartwarming to see the game dominate the sales charts worldwide. People are eating it up. Not just the AC faithful, or curious Nintendo Switch owners who need ...
