With Memorial Day coming up, you want to make sure you’re not bored while stuck at home, right? CDKeys has some fantastic deals on PS Plus and Xbox Live Gold, starting at only $4 for a one-month subscription to the latter, making these some of the best Memorial Day sales available now.

PS Plus

PS Plus is Sony’s online service for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita. You get access to online servers so you can play multiplayer games with all your friends as well as people around the world. You also get free games every month courtesy of your membership. In recent months, that’s meant great titles like Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, BioShock: The Collection, and Shadow of the Colossus, all entirely for free. These games are available to you for the duration of your PS Plus membership so it makes sense to keep your subscription going for a while.

You also get access to cloud storage so you don’t have to worry about switching between other PlayStation consoles and losing your game progress.

The best deal here is the 1-year subscription plan coming in at just over $30 and providing you with a year’s worth of free games.

Xbox Live Gold

Xbox Live Gold is similar to PS Plus and works for Xbox One and Xbox 360. It offers online multiplayer gaming for all users with dedicated servers that promise low lag and reduced risk of cheating. It also throws in free games twice a month. These generally include two titles for Xbox One and Xbox 360. In recent times, it has included titles like V-Rally 4, Fable Anniversary, Sonic Generations, and Jurassic World Evolution. The games might not be as AAA as the PS Plus offerings but you keep access to these titles, even if you cancel or suspend your Xbox Live Gold subscription. They’re yours to keep.

As well as that, Xbox Live Gold membership provides exclusive access to weekly sales which can offer up to 75% off games. This can work out pretty well, saving you considerable money over the space of a year if you’re an avid buyer of games digitally. The best deal here is the 12-month Xbox Live Gold subscription where you’ll enjoy nearly 50 free games across the year.

Criterion says Burnout isn’t forgotten… but that’s exactly what worries me
Battlefield's success makes EA's decision easy to understand, but it also leaves a huge hole in arcade racing.

As part of its recent interview with IGN, Criterion reflected on its 30-year journey, from Burnout and Need for Speed to helping revive Battlefield. The studio made it clear that Burnout remains an important part of its identity, but it also acknowledged that its future now lies firmly with Battlefield. Fittingly, Criterion's new 30th anniversary logo proudly carries the tagline: "Criterion: A Battlefield Studio."

On paper, that makes perfect sense. Battlefield 6 has already become one of EA's biggest success stories in years. It revived a franchise many had written off, delivered the biggest launch in Battlefield history, and reminded everyone why the series was once Call of Duty's fiercest rival. As a Battlefield fan, I genuinely couldn't be happier. As a Burnout fan, though? That realization stings a little.

Person, Face, Head

Don’t Starve Together is finally coming to iOS and Android on July 21, and this one has me genuinely excited. I have spent a lot of time with the PC version, and it remains one of my favorite multiplayer survival sandbox games because of how quickly a normal session can turn into complete chaos.

The project will reportedly be led by Josh Sawyer, the director behind the critically acclaimed Fallout: New Vegas, making it one of the most exciting Fallout developments in years.
