Some notable highlights from the sale include many of Bethesda's most recent games, like Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition for just $9 (was $40), which comes with the base game and all DLC. Doom: The Dark Ages is 71% off, currently at $20.64 (was $70), while Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Premium Edition is $53 (was $100) and comes with the Order of the Giants story DLC. For something a bit older, Dishonored 2 is down to a measly $2.84 (was $30).

If you're a fan of survival horror games, Bloober Team's Cronos: The New Dawn is $48 (was $60) for the standard edition. Cronos is a dark, dreary third-person horror shooter akin to titles such as Dead Space and Resident Evil 4, and was one of the best spooky games of 2025. Another notable 2025 release, Silent Hill 2, is down to $52.49 (was $70). It's a modernized, faithful recreation of the PlayStation original that both new and longtime fans can enjoy.

video game,star wars video gamesDiablo 4: Lord Of Hatred Is Completely Removing Passive Skills

Diablo 4's Lord of Hatred expansion is revamping class skill trees, with its most dramatic change being the removal of passive skills entirely.

As revealed during an official Sanctuary Sitdown on Discord with members of the Diablo 4 development team (via Icy Veins), Blizzard is looking to make it so class skill trees are more about offering customization than raw power spikes. As a result, passive skill nodes are being removed.

Each active skill will be receiving new customizations options to help fill some of those power gaps, but overall Blizzard wants to make it so becoming more powerful is more about finding and crafting better gear, leveling up the Paragon Board, and equipping the right Legendary aspects as opposed to ticking flat damage bonus boxes on the skill tree. In total, there are 80 additional new skill options and 40 reworked ones that will be coming to all Diablo 4 players. Lord of Hatred owners will have 20 additional skill choices to choose from.

video game,star wars video gamesBlizzard President Looks To The Future And Admits "Not Everything's Going To Hit"

This year marks the 35th anniversary of Blizzard, and the company already has reason to celebrate the recent Overwatch rebrand that's revitalized the hero shooter. Blizzard President Johanna Faries is very optimistic about the company's future, but she's also fully aware that not every swing at the plate will work out in its favor.

"We've set a lot in motion with respect to [the future of Blizzard], making sure we're clear on it, making sure we’re coordinated on it," said Faries during an appearance on the Official Xbox Podcast. "There's sort of a reliability that players can depend on us to launch in big ways, launch in surprising ways. Maybe take some zags! Not everything's going to hit. That's gaming. But in many ways, let's understand where we are going--not only as a company, but by franchise, by game."

Faries may be referring to some Blizzard games that were in development but never saw the light of day. In 2019, Blizzard reportedly canceled a StarCraft shooter after two years in development in order to focus on Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2.
