Kingdom Come Deliverance II Drops to Just £39.95 in the UK

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has only been out since February, but you can already grab the Day One Edition of Warhorse Studios’ hit sequel for as low as £39.95 at The Game Collection on both PS5 & Xbox Series X. Previously £54.95, that’s a massive £15 saving for a critically well-received RPG that will take you at least 40 to 60 hours just to complete the main story.

If you’ve been distracted by all the other huge games that have come out in the last few months— like Civilization 7, Avowed, Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, or Monster Hunter Wilds, just to name a few—this is the perfect chance to return to the Kingdom of Bohemia with a massive bargain.

There are a few other UK retailers who have followed suit, with Argos, Currys, and Smyths bringing the price down to £39.99. TGC is still the cheapest by 4p, but if stock runs out on PS5, we’d recommend going to Currys next since it does free next day delivery and is also the Day One Edition, containing the pre-order bonus quest— “The Lion’s Crest”.

Argos can do free shipping as well, but only if you collect from a store or place an online order over £100, otherwise costing you at least an extra £3.95 for home delivery. Plus, while Argos is selling the Day One Edition on Xbox Series X, it’s only selling the standard version without the bonus quest on PS5.

Smyths is only selling the standard version on both platforms, neither without the pre-order bonus quest. That said, it still makes a better price than those currently at other retailers. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II on PS5 at Amazon UK, for example, currently costs £57.77 at the lowest. ShopTo has cut its prices on the game slightly, but not as much, only going as low as £47.85 for the game on Xbox Series X|S.

While you can get Kingdom Come: Deliverance II for as low as £38.49 on PC through sites like CDKeys, deals like The Games Collection’s are the cheapest ways to play the game on console. KCD2 is still priced much higher on each system’s digital platforms—£59.99 on both the PlayStation Store and Xbox Games Store. If you have either console with a disc drive, The Game Collection, Currys, or Smyths are your best options.

Top up your Steam Deck or ROG Ally X with this hidden 3TB SanDisk Ultra discount

SanDisk has one of the best offers going right now if you’re looking for a massive storage upgrade on your handheld gaming device. There’s already a discount on these memory cards, but if you buy two 1.5TB SanDisk Ultra microSDs directly from SanDisk today, you’ll get an extra 20% off at checkout. That drops the price to just £74.45/$90 per card (2 for £148.90, or $179.98) which is wild considering these were going for a whole lot more during Amazon’s Spring Sale a couple of weeks back.

Nintendo Is Reportedly Stockpiling Switch 2 Units For US Launch

Most units from Vietnam are apparently being shipped to America.

A new report from Bloomberg states that Nintendo has the potential to build up “a stockpile of millions of consoles” from Vietnam ahead of the Switch 2’s launch on 5th June 2025.

The article (paywalled) states that Hosiden Corp., which is one of the three main assemblers for the console and based in the Southeast Asian country, apparently shipped more units of the new console in February of this year than the previous six months combined — around 725,000. This is according to customs data provided to Bloomberg by the NBD.

Marvel Rivals Season 2 begins now with Emma Frost, new team-ups and a PC performance boosting mode

Marvel Rivals Season 2 begins today, which means it’s time to jam another syringe into the scarred and bleeding flanks of the Great Marvelbeast and extract a fresh superhero. This season kicks off with Emma Frost, a Vanguard hero with very large hams and a couple of strings to her bow. By default, she fights as a midranged psychic, casting beams, damage-multiplying orbs and crystalline shields. Switch to her diamond form, however, and she becomes a tanky brawler with the ability to grab and slam people out of their ultimates or boot them into walls.

I’ve Just Picked Up Pokémon TCG: Journey Together ETB at Amazon, It’s Back in Stock

After months of little to no availability, Pokémon TCG: Journey Together Elite Trainer Boxes have been restocked at Amazon, and are actually staying in stock. No doubt shipping times might increase as time goes on, but it’s now finally possible to buy one of these bad boys off digital store shelves.

Amazon US: Pokémon TCG: Journey Together Elite Trainer Box

It looks like Amazon US is getting its stock from the UK, as Journey Together ETBs should be retailing for around $54.99. At the current price of $70.31, it’s not ideal (and a bit shady from Amazon), but still, it’s available right now for delivery mid to late next week.

Amazon UK: Pokémon TCG: Journey Together Elite Trainer Box

It’s a great day for UK trainers however, with Journey Together ETB selling for RRP at £44.99. It’s worth noting that Amazon UK does sell to Amazon US customers, but with the price hike on the US listing and the world being the way it is, that might not be a possibility this time around.

My Favorite Chase Cards From Journey Together

Single card prices are currently crashing on Journey Together, with Chase cards such as Lillie’s Clefairy ex 184/159 dropping by over 30% to near the $200 mark. The cards above are my top picks from Journey Together, but here’s some cards that need a solid shout out and need to be in your collection right now:

There’s that many stunning cards and artwork in this set that I don’t have the time to list them all. Journey Together is one of the best to collect a master set of.

Plenty of brilliant cards with market values coming down over more expensive sets such as Surging Sparks and Prismatic Evolutions. If you want my advice, grabbing a Journey Together Elite Trainer Box and a few singles isn’t going to break the bank and is well worth it.

Elden Ring Hits a New Low Price of Just £21.95 on PS5, Xbox, PS4, and PC

The Game Collection has been an occasional good source of decent deals for some time now, but the retailer has especially come through today with making Elden Ring available for just £21.95 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PC.

That’s a huge maximum price drop of £18 from the previous £39.95 price of the current-gen versions. Among the other retailers selling physical copies of FromSoftware’s critically acclaimed and best-selling RPG, that’s the best price you can get by far.

The only other in the UK that comes close is Argos, selling most of the same versions for £21.99, but you have to pay at least £3.95 extra for home delivery—making the actual total £25.98 if you don’t fancy the free store collection option.

With Elden Rings’ Shadow of the Erdtree DLC still being enjoyed by plenty of players in the FromSoft community, even being a GOTY nominee at the Game Awards 2024, there’s never been a better time for newcomers to get on board and become a Tarnished in the Lands Between for themselves.

If you’re a PlayStation player who still uses both a PS4 and PS5, we’d recommend buying the PS4 version, since Elden Ring is one of those early-gen games that still has a free upgrade to the PS5 included, while the base PlayStation 5 version in the white case does not.

In the event you were planning to double-dip and play Shadow of the Erdtree whilst diving into base Elden Ring, the titular Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Edition has its own deals with different retailers—the PS5 & Xbox Series X|S editions are £39.99 at HMV while the latter is available for a mere £37.99 at Smyths. The PS5 version was also £37.99 at Smyths, but, at the time of writing, was out of stock.

On the PlayStation Store & Xbox Games Store, the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is still £32.99 and £34.99 respectively. So, by purchasing this complete edition of Elden Ring for just under £40, you’ll save up to an extra £18.95 compared to buying the base version from The Game Collection and purchasing the DLC later.

Tequila’s lost projects include a possible Rime follow-up, a dungeon tourguide game and a procgen fighting sim

Last year, Spanish developers Tequila Works cancelled a game, laid off staff, and finally filed for insolvency in the face of “prolonged market conditions”, after losing funding from Tencent. Founders Raúl Rubio and Luz Sancho departed the studio in the process.

Now, what’s left of Tequila are selling off all their assets in an open auction, including both published games like horror platformer Deadlight, and a number of projects that were either in development or “ready for production”. It all makes for a sad anatomy of the studio that gave us the wonderful Rime.

Fans Fight Back Against Nintendo Switch 2 Scalpers

“Hate scalpers on eBay? Report them.”.

We already know that, of course, scalpers are attempting to spoil the Switch 2 party — which must be particularly frustrating to US consumers who can’t even pre-order the console right now. But fans are pushing back against extortionate listings, and rightly so.

IGN reports that some people are heading to online auction sites and reporting some of the most expensive listings. Simply by searching on eBay for Nintendo Switch 2, you can find listings for the console at over the RRP to varying degrees, with some consoles available for Buy It Now prices of over USD $700.
