Newegg slashes prices on PS4 accessories and AAA games like Anthem

Newegg is currently running deals on PlayStation 4 games, including Anthem, as well as popular accessories like the DualShock 4 controller. New video games, particularly popular ones, can typically set you back $60 for several months after their initial launch. If you’re looking to break that tradition and score some huge savings, however, you’re going to want to check out these discounted prices.

Using the promotional code “EMCTWVA35” at checkout, you can save 25 percent on some of the biggest AAA games of 2018 and 2019. This includes Buy at Amazon  for only $30. Some of these titles are available on PlayStation 4, while others are on sale for Xbox One.

Accessories are also eligible for the discount, and several first-party products are available on Newegg, as well. This includes the standard Buy at Amazon , which is, of course, also available at a discount right now!

What’s so wonderful about Newegg’s promotion is how many acclaimed games it includes. Metro Exodus is among the best shooters of 2019 thus far, building on the formula of its predecessors while introducing new open-ended areas and customization options. The Division 2 improved tremendously on the original game, with a more engaging and varied campaign mode and enough endgame content to keep players busy after they play the final mission. We even loved the long-delayed Kingdom Hearts III, which goes completely off the rails as it reaches the climax of a story combining Disney and Final Fantasy characters.

These deals should give you enough saved cash to possibly afford another recent game, such as Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. In less than a month, Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios are also set to launch Mortal Kombat 11, the latest entry in the long-running gore-filled series. It can certainly be overwhelming, but it’s better than the alternative of not having enough games to play, or having only bad games in your library!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s Stranded mission had me hooked for hours, yet left me wanting more
I spent hours sneaking through North Korea, scavenging supplies, and clearing outposts, and I’d happily do it all again.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Stranded mission gameplay

For years, Call of Duty’s campaign mode has used big, scripted set pieces to tell the overarching story amid all the adrenaline-pumping action. The 2023 Modern Warfare 3 tried to shake up the established formula by introducing a handful of short open combat missions, and I genuinely liked the idea, but the game's overall negative reception seeped into how those missions were received.

I feared the next iteration might abandon the idea because of the backlash, but I am glad it didn't. MW4’s “Stranded” mission uses the same approach, but instead of fragmenting it across the campaign, it puts it all in a single large-scale open-world mission.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Hands On with Acer Predator Atlas 8

Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.

Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2026) Review: Almost everything I want from a gaming laptop, except the price
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop

Quick Take

Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
