My 2026 New Year’s resolution is to finally play these 8 Xbox and PC games in my backlog — mostly because new releases are getting too expensive

As 2025 ends, there is growing anticipation for the gaming landscape of 2026, with a focus on the rising costs of new games and their frequent need for extensive post-release patches. Notable examples include Monster Hunter Wilds and the acclaimed Divinity: Original Sin series, which features intricate turn-based combat and rich storytelling. The original Divinity: Original Sin was released in 2014, while its sequel, Divinity: Original Sin 2, launched in 2017 and introduced new features and character options. Baldur's Gate 3, set in the Baldur's Gate universe, has received numerous accolades for its storytelling and gameplay. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous involves character customization and narrative choices. The Hollow Knight series, including the upcoming Hollow Knight: Silksong, and the Ninja Gaiden series are also highlighted. Control, with its sequel Control: Resonant, features surreal visuals and unique gameplay. The Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine series includes a remastered version of the original game.

The Deus Ex remaster that everyone thinks looks awful is delayed, there’s no new release date, and preorders are being refunded

The remaster of Deus Ex, initially set for release on February 5, 2026, has been postponed by developer Aspyr in response to community feedback regarding the game's visual presentation. Original art director Jerry O'Flaherty expressed dissatisfaction with the remaster, and fans feel it does not capture the essence of the original game. Critics have noted that the new visuals detract from the original's aesthetic, and there are concerns about the remaster's pricing compared to the Game of the Year edition available on other platforms. Aspyr's previous projects have had mixed success, and the current situation suggests that significant revisions may be needed before the remaster meets fan expectations. There is uncertainty about the future of the project, with concerns that it may be shelved.

The summary shall NOT include a title, introduction and conclusion. Text: As the holiday season approaches, the landscape of PC gaming presents a myriad of options for both gift-givers and enthusiasts alike. With platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG offering a variety of deals, navigating the best choices can be a bit overwhelming, especially with Black Friday looming on November 28, 2025. While enticing discounts are expected, savvy shoppers will note that the Steam Winter Sale is set to commence on December 18, 2025. This timing suggests that patience may be a virtue, particularly for those considering gifts for the December holidays. Choosing the Right System When contemplating a PC purchase, it’s prudent to engage in a conversation with the intended recipient. This is particularly true for desktops or laptops, where compatibility is paramount. Handheld devices, however, offer a more straightforward gifting experience. For instance, the Lenovo Legion Go S is available for 9.99 during Black Friday, while the Steam Deck offers a 256GB LCD model for 9.20 and a 512GB OLED version for 9. Gifting from GOG For those leaning towards gifting games, GOG stands out with its exclusive releases and a commitment to DRM-free titles. The platform ensures ongoing updates for compatibility, enhancing the user experience.

Text: When it comes to shopping for PC games, it’s difficult to really consult any one guide, as Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG often feature multiple ones and aren’t 100% reliant on Black Friday. So there will definitely be special deals around November 28, 2025, but we know the Steam Winter Sale for the year starts on December 18, 2025. It means keeping an eye out is wise, but it might also be smart to consider holding off on some gifts until we get closer to the December holidays. Still, it never hurts to be prepared and aware! Recommended VideosIn terms of systems, it’s usually best to actually consult with the recipient before just springing a PC on them. Especially if you are going with a desktop or laptop, since you’ll want to keep compatibility in mind. If you’re going with a handheld, it’s easier. Someone could get a Lenovo Legion Go S on sale for Black Friday for $579.99. A Steam Deck 256GB LCD model is $319.20 as of time of writing, and the 512GB OLED is always $549. A good option to keep in mind for PC game gifting is GOG, as there are some exclusive releases there and we also get DRM-free games from that platform. The company also will offer updates to ensure compatibility, which is handy. Here are some suggestions we have for games you can find there at pretty good prices around the holiday shopping season, as well as their Black Friday 2025 deals. Alone in the Dark: The Trilogy – $1.49 The Alters: Deluxe Edition – $37.10 Breath of Fire IV – $4.99 Devil May Cry HD Collection – $9.89 Dino Crisis Bundle (with Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2) – $8.49 Disco Elysium The Final Cut – $9.99 The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition – $7.49 Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition – $9.99 Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete – $4.99 Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered – $14.99 Silent Hill 2 remake – $34.99 Silent Hill 4: The Room – $6.99 Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines – $9.99 The Witcher: Enhanced Edition – $1.49 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition – $9.99 But in general, a lot of games are on sale on Steam and other storefronts!
