PC gaming/Weekly

Welcome to 9to5Toys Battlestation Weekly – your go-to spot for the notable deals and latest releases in PC gaming at a glance every Saturday morning. We’re continuing to track some solid early Black Friday deals that starting rolling in last week. Many of the Singles’ Day offers on gaming laptops and desktops are still live as well, which you can snag along with the fresh lows we tracked on monitors, Copilot+ PCs, and more courtesy of Best Buy and Walmart. And while we were busy highlighting the best early Black Friday deals, Valve decided to drop its big hardware announcement, confirming the launch of an all-new Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and a Steam Controller. We also got a new Backbone Pro Xbox Edition controller and Sony’s first PlayStation-branded gaming monitor this week. You can learn more about all of them and catch the week’s best deals below in this week’s Battlestation Weekly.
