Last month Sony officially revealed the next installation in the God of War franchise and it has now officially announced the release date as well as some details on Kratos’ next appearance. 

Friday’s lineup of the best Apple Books deals is now ready to roll, including titles like Siro, The Fred Carver Mysteries Volume One, House Divided, The Scientology Murders, The Best American Crime Reporting 2009, Bombproof, and more. Just be sure to scope out the Black Friday in July Apple deals on AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Max at $100 off, and return lows on AirTag 2, as well as everything else in our master roundup.

Switch 2 gamers everywhere are soon to the field of Hyrule as Nintendo ramps up for the launch of what is widely expected to be its biggest holiday launch – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Rumors and leaks have been flying since well before Nintendo made the remake official, and that special edition Zelda Switch 2 console is surfacing again, but it might not be the Ocarina of Time model. 

Burton Goods, one of my personal favorite leather accessory makers, has unleashed its all-new (and particularly gorgeous), Modern Leather MacBook Backpack. Not only is there a limited time pre-order discount, but you can use our exclusive 9to520 code to knock an additional 20% off at checkout for the best deal you’ll find anywhere. 

Pre-orders are now live on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 with some seriously notable deals straight from Samsung – $100 off with code PAYPAL as well a FREE $200 Samsung credit that can net you a FREE pair of Galaxy Buds 4 and more. If you do prefer to grab your pre-order elsewhere though, you might want to avoid the Best Buy offers – it is offering notable trade-in values…but they are better straight from Samsung, and it is offering $200 gift cards…but Amazon is offering up to $350 gift cards. 

While all of the latest PlayStation news has been surrounding Sony’s insistence on ridding its gaming ecosystem of disc-based gaming, despite waves of backlash, one title you will be able to score on disc is the new Marvel’s Wolverine game set for release later this year. And Sony just dropped a new “Story Trailer” to give us some insight into the narrative for Logan’s upcoming adventure. 

Pre-orders on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 are here and there some giant savings to be had. You can knock up to $1,230 off the list prices at checkout today with trade-ins, but if you’re not there are still some serious deals here – up to $100 off and FREE $200 credits that stack with the $30 Reserve credit.

This weekly roundup collects all of the coolest new gadgets, the most interesting updates in the world of tech, and more from the past week, and organizes it into a single handy reading list for you to sift through every Sunday morning.

It is now available for pre-order on Amazon alongside some of the new Nintendo and models, and more. 

Things have been rough over at Xbox lately with mass layoffs spanning some of its biggest studios, id Software, Bethesda, and Obsidian included. But it’s not all doom and gloom as Bethesda has just confirmed a number of new projects in the works, including an all-new Fallout game from Obsidian, as well as remasters for Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. 

This year’s big Switch 2 game release, at least for many folks, is the now confirmed The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake. Nintendo has said it is coming this year, but it has yet to show us any gameplay or provide a release date. However, GameStop might have just leaked the pre-order date. 

One of this year’s big new PS5 releases will see Insomniac bring another one of Marvel’s biggest super heroes like never before as Marvel’s Wolverine is officially set for release this September. Pre-orders for the new game are now live, and Sony just unleashed one of the most epic trailers yet. 

The Zelda Ocarina of Time remake is set for release in 2026, but as we await a proper gameplay reveal and the actual release date, Hasbro and Nintendo have now officially announced a licensing partnership to debut a series of new toys and collectibles based on the beloved Zelda franchise. 

Update 6/15: The Crocs x Super Mario Clogs and Jibbitz are now live for purchase.

The new Crocs x Super Mario collection will be available for purchase today. Earlier this month Nintendo and Crocs made their latest collaboration official, and the new Mushroom Kingdom clogs are now up for grabs on the official Crocs site. 

After the launch of its new, and super sleek looking 25W 3-in-1 MagSafe charging stand, today Satechi is turning its attention to Apple’s colorful entry laptop with its new MacBook Neo accessory collection, including the “first and only dual-connector hub engineered for the MacBook Neo’s asymmetric ports.”

It appears as though Nintendo could be in the process of developing a new Switch 2 console with an OLED display, according to reports. 

Last time we checked in with the team of artisan accessory makers at Burton Goods we featured an exclusive deal on its new stainless steel Apple Watch Ocean Band-style bracelet. But today, the brand is unleashing its all new Leather Padfolio with iPad sleeve and we have an exclusive launch deal on that for you as well.

Back in late May Nintendo and LEGO official teased upcoming Donkey Kong sets. At the time it was unclear whether or not this would be some sort of expansion to the existing Super Mario theme or not, but since then it has started to become clear DK is getting his own sets entirely and the first image of the new LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade has leaked online. 

Alongside an ongoing deal on the ultra-portable Bose SoundLink Micro at nearly 40% off, we are also tracking the midsize Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Speaker (2nd Gen) down at one of its lowest prices to date with 38% in savings.

Alongside the return of discounts on a series of new upcoming Switch 2 games, and all of the deals you’ll find in this morning’s roundup, Nintendo is now letting folks play the new Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for FREE. 

Samsung is once again offering up to $200 in savings on its latest flagship S26 lineup over on the official site. These deals are largely matched at Amazon still with select colors selling for even less, but let’s take a look at the “excellent” condition open-box units at Best Buy to save even more.

We knew it was coming after stories flooded the net over the last week, but Xbox just announced a massive number of layoffs with plans to dump roughly 20% off its staff starting today.

Featuring thousands of price drops on everything from tech and yard gear, you’ll also find loads of deals on grocery items and decor for your Independence Day celebrations later this week. 

Is Walmart open today? Is Target and Home Depot closed for the 4th of July? Are grocery stores open today? The short answer is most things are indeed open today but you’ll want to watch out for altered holiday hours and the like. Let’s dive in below. 

Burton Goods – one of our favorite leather Apple gear accessory makers – is offering 25% off sitewide using code BAG25 at checkout for the the 4th of July.

Nintendo has had a tough year when it comes to leaks (more like two years at this point), which is to be expected in and around a major new console release. But after having what will almost certainly be its major holiday Switch 2 game leaked months ahead of time, and countless number of others, a new, as of yet un-announced Metroid game has now surfaced online. 

Say goodbye to physical PlayStation games on a disc folks. Rockstar just put the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 up for pre-order with no disc in the box – some gamers were very much not happy about this. And now, in an official post on the PlayStation Blog, Sony just announced it will no longer release physical discs for new games launching on PlayStation consoles. 

After years of leaks Bethesda finally shadow dropped the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in mid 2025, and after receiving its fair share of rumors, we now have an official release date for the Switch 2 edition. 

Pre-orders are now live and flying for the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. The game, as I’m sure you all know by know, is only launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a PC presumably in the works for a future release (as per usual with Rockstar), but a new leak suggests the rumored Switch 2 version is inbound too.
