The majority of the mods, however, look to improve Delta’s PC performance. Some predate Konami’s recently deployed patch, which sought to address various scenarios that could inadvertently cause systems to crash. The publisher added that it was actively investigating and addressing all reported concerns.

Are you sitting down, Oblivion Remastered? It’s alright. I’ve just got…some news I need to tell you. There’s no easy way to say this. A modder’s decided to put a bunch of Fortnitey emotes and dances inside you.
We can see the likes of dabs, the NaeNae, and even a stanky legg on the scans. They’re cranking it, spanking that, and Snoop Dogging all over your internal organs too. There’s nothing we could have done. That surgery which ported you from 2006 to 2025 increased the risk of this drastically, but how else were 12 year olds supposed to learn about the need to CLOSE SHUT THE JAWS OF OBLIVION?
CD Projekt revealed the eye-catching stat in its latest financial results, confirming that not only did the action-RPG benefit from positioning itself as one of Nintendo Switch 2’s day-one launch games, but it also found success by making the game available as physical media.
“We believe that thanks to its high quality and Switch 2 exclusive enhancements, Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition is well positioned to benefit from the [Switch 2’s] growing user base,” said Michał Novakovski, joint CEO. “As of June, the vast majority of sales — which is around 70% — came from physical copies sold and that reflects the strength of our offering.”
Novakovski believes this is, in part, because “the entire game, along with its expansion, is fully contained on a 64 gigabyte cartridge, providing a plug and play experience which players find particularly attractive.” And that has certainly proven to be the case, with 75.4% of all Cyberpunk 2077’s Switch 2 sales being physical.
It comes as fans continue to debate the practice of publishers providing Game-Key Cards in Switch 2 boxed games instead of a physical cartridge. It’s proven to be a divisive practice among some users, not least because while it allows collectors to have a game’s box on their shelf, they’re essentially useless unless your console is connected to the internet.
The practice is so controversial, however, that Nintendo has launched a survey designed to poll the Switch 2 userbase on its thoughts surrounding digital and physical games, with questions designed to probe the reasons you might consider one option over another. Nintendo’s also interested in finding out if your attitude to digital downloads has shifted over time.
“Our developers truly made the most of the console’s features, offering new exclusive ways to play Cyberpunk 2077,” Novakovski added. “We showcased them in a series of hands on presentations attracting praise from the player community and gaming media. And although we clearly see that sales of the on the new console are currently dominated by Nintendo’s first party titles, we were very pleased with Cyberpunk being among the best selling third party games.”
“The Switch 2 might pack much better hardware than the original, but a game I’m still surprised to see running at all (much less pretty well) on a Nintendo system is Cyberpunk 2077,” we wrote in our Nintendo Switch 2 Cyberpunk 2007 review update. “I spent a few days with CD Projekt Red’s latest port to get a feel for how it runs, how it holds up, and how the Switch 2’s fancy new mouse controls work when applied to a high-octane FPS. The answer across the board is impressive, and if you haven’t had the pleasure of exploring Night City before, this seems like a solid way to do so.”
As for Nintendo’s handheld itself? The Nintendo Switch 2 debuted in June to become the fastest-selling hardware ever in the U.S., shooting spending on games to new records. Spending on hardware was up a whopping 249% year-over-year thanks to the console’s debut, reaching $978 million and greatly surpassing the previous monthly record from June 2008 of $608 million. In total, the Switch 2 sold 1.6 million units in the U.S. during its launch month, beating the PlayStation 4’s previous sales record of 1.1 million units in November of 2013.

Are you from the UK and partial to risque adult Steam games, such as Amarillo’s Butt Slapper – the Dark Souls of Butt Slapping – or the timelessly iconic MILFs of Sunville? Bad! Naughty! GO DIRECTLY TO BED. Unless you have a valid credit card. Steam have begun rolling out a requirement for all UK-based users to verify their ages, if they wish to access store pages for games rated mature.
You should already have done this, of course, if you’ve bought anything on Steam, which I’m going to assume is 90% of you, with the other 10% being GOG stopouts, holier-than-thou Itch lovers and stinky pirates. According to reports, debit cards are acceptable too.
Labor Day weekend is a great time to get together with the family, sure, but it’s also a nice little three-day window to get some serious gaming in. Assuming you don’t already have a massive backlog of PC games to play, now is actually a pretty good time of year to find some video game deals. If you’re looking to pick up a new game before the weekend arrives, you’ve got options.
We’re in between major Steam sales at the moment, but another big PC games sale going on right now is the Humble Bundle Summer Sale. There are a ton of discounted games here at prices that will last through the weekend.
If you’re looking for something great under $10, I’ve got some recommendations for you. Each of these games I’ve listed are wonderful for different reasons, but every single one of them are worth playing for hours at a time.
PC Games Under $10
My first pick might not be for everyone, but it’s one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time. It’s hard to really go too into detail without ruining some of it, but it’s essentially a roguelike deck-building card game with a twist of psychological horror. If any of that sounds interesting to you, it’s best to just start playing without learning more. Going in cold is the best way to play this game.
Next on this list is what has become one of the best indie games of all time. I was genuinely surprised how much I liked Hollow Knight. I don’t usually like metroidvania games, but it has a sort of sad, dark charm that really drew me in. The gameplay is fun and the battles can get difficult, but the atmosphere of this game keeps you engaged at every turn. With the long-awaited Hollow Knight sequel releasing next week, now is a great time to jump into the original.
I don’t really feel the need to say much about The Witcher 3, because of course it’s worth playing. CD Projekt Red’s masterpiece is one of those rare games that I’ve ended up playing through multiple times. While it’s the Witcher books that ultimately birthed this franchise, it’s really this game that made it a household name. With The Witcher 4 somewhere on the horizon, its as good a time as any to start your Witcher 3 journey for the first time.
If you’re a PC gamer who also happens to be a Nintendo gamer, Bug Fables is one of those games that hits a very specific sweet spot. It’s a turn-based RPG that has an eerily similar look and feel as the original Paper Mario game. It’s a storybook adventure with puzzles and battles that has a fun overarching story. If you love games like Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, you’ll love Bug Fables.
My last recommendation is the cheapest and shortest game on this list. Gris is a beautiful platformer game with some fun puzzles and stunning artwork. This game tells a story of grief and loss, and these feelings unfold through an incredible use of color, music, and gameplay. You can play through the whole thing in a few hours, and it’s definitely worth paying $2.99 for what you’ll get from it. This is one of those games that hit me surprisingly hard.
See all PC games on sale for under $10
The games I’ve listed here are just some of my favorites, but there’s actually a lot more in the sale that are worth a look. Humble Bundle has a specific page for all of the deals under $10 right now and it includes things like the Batman: Arkham collection and Yakuza games.
Battlefield 6‘s open beta may be over, Battlefield 2042 might also have been transformed into Battlefield 6, but there must be more battles in the fields of six, so sign-ups for another round of Labs testing are now open. Two fresh maps with plenty of room for vehicle-based fisticuffs will be on offer, as well as a chance to check out the server browser that may well be chock full of 24/7 scraps once the final game launches.
Every game we scored 9/10 or higher, plus a personal pick.
Nintendo of America is back at it again with yet another eShop sale to round out the summer.
