Score the Delightful Split Fiction at a Discount During Prime Big Deal Days

There have been some excellent video game deals to check out during this first day of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale event. One of our favorite video games of this year, Split Fiction, is even on sale right now as part of it. If its been on your radar, there’s no better time to pick it up.

At the moment, the PS5 version of Split Fiction is the only copy that’s part of Prime Big Deal Days, with a Prime-exclusive price of $39.99 (20% off). However, the Switch 2 and Xbox Series X versions are also discounted right now outside of the sale for Prime members, with the former down to $39.99, too, and the latter even lower to $24.98 (50% off).

These are some great prices for such a fantastic game, so head to the links below to add this delightful co-op adventure to your library.

Prime Big Deal Days: Save on Split Fiction

For both the Xbox Series X and Switch 2 copies, these prices mark new lows for them, which is great news for those who have been waiting to pick them up. The PS5 version’s lowest-ever price is $34.99, but its current price is still very close to it and well worth taking advantage of while it’s still live during the sale.

Outside of these great prices, this game is absolutely worth it to add to your library. We gave it a 9/10 back when it was released in our review, with IGN’s Luke Reilly calling it, “a victory of imagination and restraint in equal measure. Hazelight may have been rewriting the co-op rule book for a decade now, but Split Fiction is a new chapter that you (and a partner) cannot miss.” We even consider it one of the best video games of this year, so you can feel content knowing you’re picking up something worthwhile.

This deal is just one of many great ones to pop up during Prime Big Deal Days. Check out our full breakdown of the video game deals for October Prime Day to see even more of the top discounts available today. The sale only runs through tomorrow, October 8, so act fast to pick up the items that catch your eye.

The Best Prime Big Deal Days Discounts for Magic: The Gathering Fans That You Can Buy Now

Magic: The Gathering is gearing up for a big 2026 with sets including Star Trek and more Marvel, but Amazon’s Prime Day Big Deals have plenty of savings to help build (or kickstart) your collection.

The retailer has been running discounts over the last couple of weeks, but now that we’re into the madness of Prime Day, we’ve rounded up the best around.

The Best Magic: The Gathering Deals For Prime Day

Kicking off with Commander (Magic’s most popular format), there are a huge number of savings to be had across Final Fantasy, Fallout, and plenty, plenty more.

The Revival Trance deck from Final Fantasy 6 is half price, while the Final Fantasy 14 Scions & Spellcraft deck is under $40, too.

You can buy a bundle of all four Fallout Commander decks for $144.99 (you’d pay half of that for the Mutant Menace precon alone). You can also buy Hail Caesar, Scrappy Survivors, and Science for less than $45 each.

Missed out on the Lord of the Rings set? The (very, very good) Riders of Rohan Commander Deck is under $40 right now, and is great for newcomers, as is Death Toll which is under $35.

One deck with a lot of complexity is the Tricky Terrain deck from Modern Horizons 3, which is $42.99 instead of $70 right now, and involves shapeshifting and changing the types of your lands.

In terms of booster boxes, you can save 24% on Spider-Man, but, considering it was marked up anyway, you’re not technically saving. There are also deals on the horror-themed Duskmourn, sci-fi Edge of Eternities, and cowboy-filled Outlaws of Thunder Junction sets.

Finally, if you’re looking to build your own decks, the Land Station is just $14.99 right now. It includes 400 basic lands (80 of each type) to help you create your next game-winning deck.

FuturLab’s PowerWash Simulator 2 Gets A Switch 2 Release Date

Blasting the dirt off your console later this month!

As we reported not long ago, PowerWash Simulator 2, the cunningly-named sequel to PowerWash Simulator, is winging its way to Switch 2, which is a very good thing indeed given how popular the first outing was.

Now, the folks over at Futurlab have announced that their cleaning sim sequel will release on 23rd October 2025. Hey, that’s this month!

World of Warcraft Legion Remix is Live Now for a Limited Time

The post World of Warcraft Legion Remix is Live Now for a Limited Time appeared first on Xbox Wire.

PowerWash Simulator 2 will release October 23, and here’s a trailer to mock you for enjoying cleaning games

The world is insufficiently clean and sparkly, so here comes Futurlab with Powerwash Simulator 2. The floor-mopping bonanza will release on 23rd October, a few short weeks from now. The release date announcement accompanies one of those satirical “corporate training” videos, commonly used by videogame creators to sneer indirectly at the sad unfortunates trapped in their Skinner boxes.

The trailer comments of the sequel’s new cleaning tools, for example, that “it all does basically the same thing, but it gives you a false sense of progression, even though you’ve really achieved nothing”. Fine then, Futurlab. I was looking forward to your glorified adult colouring book. I was modestly anticipating the opportunity to absent myself from my personal squalor and while away some hours in your pseudo-therapeutic tribute to Mr Muscles. But now that you’ve ripped off the mask and explicitly told me that I’m an addled hamster, deserving only of contempt, I guess I’ll buy this game about pissing on people instead.

The Predator Is Coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone — but Fans Wish They Could Carry Him Forward Into Black Ops 7

The Predator is coming back to Call of Duty, 11 years after he appeared in 2014’s Call of Duty: Ghost.

Activision confirmed the arrival of the Predator in Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 6 as part of the seasonal Haunting event on October 9. It’s a well-timed crossover that coincides with the release of Dan Trachtenberg’s upcoming Predator: Badlands movie.

The image and trailer below give us a look at the Predator we can expect in Call of Duty later this week. Season 6 launches shortly after the ongoing Black Ops 7 beta ends on October 9 (it just got extended by 24 hours).

It’s worth noting that Black Ops 6 cosmetics do not carry forward into Black Ops 7 (well, almost all of them do not). So you won’t see Predators running around when Black Ops 7 launches in November. The cosmetic will remain playable in battle royale Warzone, however.

Call of Duty’s foray into goofy skins territory is well-documented, although recent releases have certainly amped up the conversation around them. With the likes of Beavis and Butt-Head and American Dad hitting the game this year shortly after weed-obsessed bundles starring Seth Rogen, some fans said they’d had enough of what they called the ‘Fortnite-ification’ of their beloved Call of Duty, and pleaded with publisher Activision to return to its mil-sim roots.

Then, last month, Activision shocked the Call of Duty community when it confirmed that Operators, Operator Skins, and Weapons from Black Ops 6 would no longer carry forward into Black Ops 7. This came as a big surprise to players who had expected content they’d bought for Black Ops 6 to carry forward, as it has done with previous entries. Explaining the decision, Activision said Black Ops 7 “needs to feel authentic to Call of Duty and its setting.”

There’s a positive reaction to the Predator in Black Ops 6, although some are saying they wish he was coming to Black Ops 7 instead. “See I’m perfectly fine when COD does collabs with other mature IPs,” said redditor blackviking147. “The Mil-spawn skin is still the only time I was genuinely interested in finishing a COD battle pass and I use it in Warzone to this day ‘cause it’s voiced by Keith David.

“Predator, Rambo, Die Hard, Spawn all of those were amazing collabs that didn’t destroy the game’s identity ‘cause they’re movie properties from around the game’s time period and or decked out in milsim gear so it stays in the aesthetic.”

“Would have been great to use this skin in Blops 7,” added LaylaLegion. “Oh well. Guess I’ll have to just rebuy all my BP skins for the third time because SOME PEOPLE would rather do that than get over seeing a ninja turtle in the game.”

This comment touches on the ongoing debate about Activision’s decision to kill carry forward for Black Ops 7. Despite the online chatter, there are a number of Call of Duty players who have expressed frustration that their goofy skins won’t carry forward into Black Ops 7, lamenting the fact they won’t get the amount of use out of their purchases that they’d expected. Now, if these players move on to Black Ops 7, they will have to leave those expensive virtual items behind — including the Predator.

Here’s a deal post about the Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL being £45 / $40 off, typed on my Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL

It’s been over a year since I adopted the Logitech G515 Lightspeed TKL as my daily keyboard, and here it is, still parked on my desk, ready and willing for me to bash out some nonsense about Titanfall or whatever. It’s also what I’m using you inform you that you can get one of your very own, for less, as the G515 is currently on sale both inside and out of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event.

Civilization 7 Has Crashed to Less Than $15 on Xbox for October Prime Day

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale event has officially kicked off for Prime members, and there’s already so much to look through. In particular, quite a few video game deals have popped up during the sale event, and this discount on Sid Meier’s Civilization VII for Xbox Series X was one that immediately caught our eye (see it here at Amazon).

Save 81% on Civilization 7 for Xbox Series X

Right now, Prime members can save a whopping 81% (yes, you read that correctly) on Civilization VII for Xbox Series X, which has dropped its price from $69.99 to $13.25.

This is the lowest price it’s ever been – in comparison to its lowest-ever price outside of Prime-exclusive sale events like this one – so now is as good a time as any to grab it for your library.

If you’re on the fence about picking it up, our review of Civilization 7 from Leana Hafer said it has, “improved warfare and diplomacy, a bit of added narrative flair, as well as mostly gorgeous graphics and sound.” And at this price? It’s a hard discount to ignore.

This isn’t the only video game deal to cross our radar, though. If you’re looking to pick up PlayStation 5 games instead, there’s a selection of PS5 games discounted right now at Amazon that are worth checking out. The sales even include Death Stranding 2 at its lowest price yet, which is definitely worth taking advantage of.

Prime Big Deal Days runs through tomorrow, October 8, so there’s still plenty of time to jump on the discounts that catch your eye. It’s also worth checking out our big Prime Big Deal Days post to see what other offers have jumped out during this sale event so far, so you can stock up on the items that interest you.

The fastest gaming SSD on the market is up to 38% off for Prime Big Deal Days

God, look at me. Recommending a PCIe 5.0 SSD like I’m some Newegg banner ad. 2023 James would be violently sick. Yet it is in fact 2025, and while cheaper PCIe 4.0 drives still make the most sense to most people, newer and faster 5.0 models have begun to find their place as futureproofed upgrades to high-spec PCs. And if they can be made less of a luxury, all the better, as is the case with Amazon’s current sale on the WD Black SN8100.
