Alongside the early Prime Day at Amazon and the Switch 1/2 game sale it launched yesterday, Woot is kicking the week off with one of the better Nintendo Switch 2 console deals we have tracked to date. Using code CHEAPSWITCH2 at checkout, you can sore one down at $419, or as low as $399 if you’re a new Woot customers. 

Day 3 of the giant Amazon Prime Day sale is now live and the Switch 2 game deals are rolling. While Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are now live at Amazon, Walmart, GameStop, this morning we are adding another rare Amazon all-time low to our Prime Day Switch 2 game deals collection: Kirby Air Riders for Nintendo Switch 2 is down at $49.95 shipped (price appears once added to the cart). Regularly $70, this is 30% off the list price and the lowest we have ever tracked at Amazon.

• Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are now live at Walmart on PS5 and Xbox.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are now live at Amazon, Walmart, GameStop and elsewhere, as you might already know if you stayed up with us for the midnight launch. But if you’re bitter about Rockstar’s decision to launch the “physical” version with just a download code in the box, the same insider that leaked the digital launch ahead of time is now claiming a disc version of Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming later this year. 

Update: Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are now live at Amazon on PS5 and Xbox. More details below on scoring a gift card deal on pre-orders.

Amazon’s Prime Day sale may be in full swing, but Rockstar grabbed plenty of attention away from the deals today with fresh GTA 6 pre-order details. The company has officially confirmed a $100 Ultimate Edition, putting it $20 above the standard version’s $80 price tag. You can, however, grab a $100 PlayStation Store gift card from Newegg right now for $88 with promo code FTTF6933, effectively bringing the PS5 Ultimate Edition down to $88 – just $8 more than the standard version. Head below for a closer look at what each edition includes.

How much will Grand Theft Auto 6 cost? After years of waiting, a pair of high-profile delays, and a particularly cruel false start to pre-orders courtesy of Best Buy, it’s finally happening – Grand Theft Auto is officially going up for pre-order next week. And now everyone is wondering what the price of GTA 6 is going to be. 

Well, it’s sort of hard to think about anything else in gaming now that Rockstar has officially confirmed Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders will go live next week. The long-awaited follow up to GTA V is finally ready for prime time, but we still don’t know the official price and you’re still going to have to wait until mid-November to play it. That said, we are celebrating today’s announcement with some GTA deals and the FREE upgrade that goes live today to enjoy in the meantime:

• Grand Theft Auto Online PS5 $10 (Reg. $20)
• Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Switch $20 (Reg. $60)
• PS4, digital Xbox, PC GTA V upgrade to current gen FREE starting today
  • More details here

It’s official! Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders go live next week

This is not a drill, Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders will officially begin on June 25 as per an official Rockstar announcement. 

PlayStation’s adorable Astro Bot mascot not only took home game of the year previously, got his very own custom DualSense controllers, and headlined one of the more popular PS5 bundles over the last year or two, but he is also being brought to life in Funko Pop! form. 

GuliKit is landing today with its latest next-generation Switch 2 dock (also compatible with Switch 1). The new, ultra-affordable solution delivers one of the least pricey options out there with an ultra-compact, travel-friendly design, power passthrough action, 4K visuals, and some nifty ventilation cooling. 

Nintendo is now handing out a FREE month of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. While it might not be the new GameCube title announcement you’re waiting on, both new Switch Online members and existing subscriptions can take advantage of this offer. Details below. 

Last week Nintendo made it official – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is real, and it is releasing on Switch 2 in 2026. While very little is known about the upcoming release, folks did sleuth out an official description on the game from Nintendo that might give us a better idea of what we are in for. 

Nintendo is continuing to update its popular Switch 2 GameCube library and now that we have moved into 2026 it’s time to take an updated look at the lineup. 

The week started with the announcement of Nintendo big summer Direct, and we are finishing it off with another look at the pre-order discounts now live on some of the newest Switch 2 games. Alongside the rare Switch 2 console discounts now live ahead of the upcoming price hike, Amazon and Walmart are both offering $10 off a series of the new games highlighted at this week’s Direct. That means you can land the new Switch Sports Resort Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, among others, down at $49.99 shipped ahead of release later this year – this offer is now live at both Walmart and Amazon. This one is regularly $50 in digital form, but the physical copy we are featuring here today carries a $60 list price and, if it’s like the other discounted Switch 2 pre-orders we have featured, will jump back up in price at launch. 

• Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Nintendo Switch 2 Edition $50 (Reg. $60)
• Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Nintendo Switch 2 Edition $70 (Reg. $80)

Nintendo hosted its big summer Nintendo Direct presentation this week and it was…good. Not great, but good. I think the bevy of Nintendo leaks that have hit this year dulled the experience significantly for many folks, myself included, Nintendo stock has taken a bit of nose dive because of it, and more importantly, there’s more than a few gamers that walked away from the presentation far less excited than they should have been. So what’s next from Nintendo: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time limited edition Switch 2 console? A proper influx of major Game Cube titles? Is there one more surprise 2026 game release? 

Alongside the discounts we are tracking on some of the brand new Switch 2 titles the were on display in this week’s Nintendo Direct (you’ll find those below), Sony has also transitioned from its Days of Play sale into a giant Mid-Year PlayStation Store event. The sale includes deals on titles like REANIMAL, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, System Shock, Tomb Raider I-III and IV-VI Remastered, Dave the Diver, and a whole lot more…there are over 3,600 games and DLC packs on sale right now at up to 75% off the list prices through to July 1. You can browse through all of the deals on this page, but you will find them ready and waiting on the PlayStation Store next time you boot up your machine too. 

Here we go! It’s a big day for fans of the Mushroom Kingdom and Hylian heroes everywhere as Nintendo is set to livestream the big summer Nintendo Direct we have all been waiting for, and it all goes live this morning. 

Nintendo went live this morning with its big summer Direct, and even if all you were waiting for was a big Zelda reveal, it did not disappoint. While we still haven’t received the release date for the new Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake remake yet (it is coming this year though), Nintendo’s new Star Fox game is definitely releasing in a just couple weeks now, and you can try it for FREE on Switch 2 starting right now. 

Nintendo just wrapped up its big summer Nintendo Direct and just as we hoped, it capped the show off with the official reveal of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake. 

Nintendo has now officially confirmed the leaked June Nintendo Direct and it goes live tomorrow. Does this mean the rest of the game leaks and rumors are also going to come true? Some of them already have and tomorrow could be the big one. 

After waiting, more or less, a full year for Nintendo to host a major Nintendo Direct for Switch 2, the day has finally arrived. Yesterday Nintendo made it official – it is hosting a full-on 2026 summer Nintendo Direct and it goes live today. 

Nintendo just confirmed its big June Nintendo Direct folks. It’s really happening! All the leaks and rumors were true.

New XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition console and controller revealed

As part of today’s 2026 summer Xbox Games Showcase, the new XBOX 25th Anniversary Console and Controller have been revealed ahead of launch this November. 

The massive summer Xbox Games Showcase is live today folks. While Xbox has already confirmed that Project Helix (its next-generation console) will not be making an appearance in any significant way today, that means it’s going to be all about the games, and what sounds like a lot of them. 

June has arrived and that means the biggest gaming showcases of the year are inbound very soon. June typically houses the summer showcases from all of the biggest publishers, platforms, and more, with the massive hour+ long broadcasts from PlayStation, Xbox, and more already set in stone. Head below for a rundown of when all of the biggest game reveals of the summer will be going live this month and more details on the potentially upcoming summer Nintendo Direct.

Nintendo historically hosts a big Direct in June, but last year things were seemingly shifted because of the Switch 2 launch and this left expectations up in the air for 2026. However, industry insiders claimed we were getting something along those lines this month, and one of them just doubled down to confirm/leak the date. 

While we are still waiting an official release date on FromSoft’s Switch 2 exclusive, The Duskbloods, ready your swords my fells Tarnished warriors, you will officially be heading back to The Lands Between in just two months time – the release date for Elden Ring Tarnished Edition on Switch 2 has been revealed. 

Just after Nintendo teased all-new official LEGO Donkey Kong sets, Nintendo announced the classic Donkey Kong 64 for Switch Online, and that day is here. The 1999 release is now live and playable in the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics library for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members. 

The rumors and leaks were true, Sony just revealed a complete in-depth gameplay look at the new God of War Laufey game from Santa Monica studios. This very much looks like the leaks – Faye is the antagonists and we have 20 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay below (this is how you show a game off folks). 

The summer PlayStation State of Play showcase goes live today. We get more than a few State of Play broadcasts per year, but none quite as big as the big June show, and it all starts very soon. 

Nintendo surprised just about everyone last moth with a dedicated Star Fox Direct showcase out of nowhere. The new Switch 2 cinematic remake of the N64 game is officially set for release on June 25 and Nintendo has just unleashed a new Overview Trailer via the Nintendo Today app. 

Just ahead of tomorrow’s giant summer PlayStation games showcase, Sony has taken to the official PlayStation Blog to finally unleash the pre-order and launch deals for its upcoming hardware – the FlexStrike wireless fight stick, the official new gaming monitor, and the Pulse Elevate wireless speakers.
