That’s why each week we bring you the best gaming deals we can find, so you can stay in the know about the hottest new games without stressing over video game-induced debt. Whether you’re looking to catch up on your backlog with discounted titles or hoping to freshen up your setup with some new hardware, we’ve got you covered.

The Last of Us Part I(opens in a new tab) didn’t necessarily need to happen, but we’re happy it did. The original game is a critically acclaimed masterpiece — and is still arguably in great shape for how long ago it was released — but who are we to say “no” to a ground-up remake of one of the all-time greats specifically for the PlayStation 5? If you haven’t already played The Last of Us, this is unquestionably the best way to experience it for the first time.

If you’ve ever enjoyed a FromSoftware game (Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro), Elden Ring is probably going to be your new favorite. Explore The Lands Between as your created character (called a “Tarnished”), discovering hidden areas, battling dangerous creatures, and working toward the ultimate goal of repairing the shattered Elden Ring and becoming the new Elden Lord. It’s a grand adventure, and one you shouldn’t miss out on in 2022.

Fans of multiplayer and party games should have Splatoon 3 in their library. This four-on-four unconventional shooter pits two teams against each other (the Inklings and Octolings) and tasks them with covering the map in as much paint as possible before the timer runs out. In the end, whichever team has painted the most turf will emerge victorious.

Curved gaming monitors may not seem like game-changers right away, but they certainly can be. Samsung’s curved 100R panel attempts to replicate the curvature of the human eye to cut down on strain and increase immersion, which just makes playing feel better. The monitor also features a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response times, AMD FreeSync Premium support, WQHD resolution, and HDR10 compatibility.
