49-inch Samsung Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor.

Curved gaming monitors are pretty great, although they can be pricey, especially if you’re looking at gaming monitor deals for something large and ultrawide. Well, you’ll be happy to know that Newegg has made an incredible reduction on the 49-inch Samsung Odyssey G9 Series Curved Ultrawide Gaming Monitor, bringing it down to $1,100 from $1,600, plus an additional $100 off if you use the code YEAREND3. Keep in mind that the promo code is a limited offer, so you’ll want to grab the screen as quickly as you can to get the biggest discount.

When it comes to specs, the Samsung Odyssey G9 has all the bells and whistles you’d expect for a monitor this fancy. For starters, the screen is a huge 49 inches with a resolution of 5120 x 1440. As such, it’s easier for a GPU to handle, even for an RTX 2000 or RTX 3000 series graphics card, and therefore you’re more likely to be able to take advantage of the screen’s capabilities. It also has a whopping refresh rate of 240Hz, so if you’re into FPS games, the combined size, curvature, and max frame rate allowed by this monitor are going to be perfect for you to play on, especially if you like competitive games like Valorant or Counter-Strike. There’s a lot of potential to pair this monitor with a variety of gaming PCs, so you should also definitely check out some gaming PC deals while you’re at it.

With the Samsung Odyssey G9 you’ll get both G-Sync and FreeSync, which is impressive, as well as features such as DisplayHDR 1000, a 1ms (GTG) response time, and a contrast ratio of 2500:1, all of which are incredibly great to have. You’ll also be happy to know that the screen uses QLED rather than just the plain old LED technology, so the image will be great overall. That being said, be aware that the upscale from 1080p to 1440p sometimes doesn’t look great, mainly because the pixels aren’t evenly split across screen density, so if you plan to watch movies or stream content, it needs to be natively at 2K to look good.

Ultimately, if you can grab the Samsung Odyssey G9 right now while the offer is available, not only are you going to get a fantastic curved, ultrawide gaming monitor, you will also save yourself up to $600 from the $1,600 list price. Only $1,000 for a gaming monitor with these features at this size is a pretty amazing gaming deal if we’re honest, but just don’t forget to use the promo code YEAREND3 on top of the sale price and grab it while it lasts.

Component prices may be soaring, but Sony has more reasons than ever to take portable gaming seriously.

Sony may have just dropped its biggest hint yet that a true PlayStation handheld is on the way. In a recently published Q&A with investors, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino said the company's next-generation PlayStation strategy will deliver a seamless gaming experience that extends "beyond the living room." While he never explicitly mentioned a handheld, the comments have once again fueled speculation that Sony is preparing to return to the portable gaming space with the PS6 generation.

Sony finally said what everyone was thinking

Xbox Game Pass deals are reportedly drying up, and that’s bad news for indies
Logo, Green, Recycling Symbol

Ask most players why they subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, and they'll probably mention day-one Xbox exclusives. But developers have long viewed the service differently. For many indie studios, a Game Pass deal wasn't just extra exposure — it was financial security before launch.

Landing a Game Pass deal often meant guaranteed revenue before a game even launched, reducing the financial gamble of releasing an indie title into an increasingly crowded market. Now, that safety net may not be as dependable as it once was.

I just played Ghost of Tsushima on a phone. I never thought I’d see this day and I’m not regretting this misadventure
Running Ghost of Tsushima on the Red Magic 11S Pro almost feels wrong
Red Magic 11S Pro running Ghost of Tsushima

I have tested plenty of gaming phones, but nothing quite prepared me for watching Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut boot up on the Red Magic 11S Pro. This was not cloud gaming or something like Remote Play from a PlayStation sitting somewhere else in the house. I used GameHub, linked it with Steam, and after some trial and error, had the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima running on a phone--and it was far more playable than I expected.

And yes, it looked as ridiculous as it sounds. Seeing Jin Sakai on a phone screen with a GameHub overlay, virtual shoulder buttons, and a live FPS counter sitting on top made the whole setup seem a lot more viable.
