It’s a great time to be alive for gamers, with the likes of PlayStation deals and Nintendo Switch deals offering consoles and games for novice players, hardcore veterans, and everyone in between. However, gaming deals also include retro gaming devices like the Arcade1Up PartyCade, which is available from QVC with a $90 discount that lowers the portable arcade machine’s price to $210 from its original price of $300.

The Arcade1Up PartyCade is designed to sit on a table, or be mounted on a wall or door. It’s not just an ornament though, as it comes with eight classic games depending on the variant that you choose. The Pacman version includes Pacman, Super Pacman, Pac & Pal, Galaxian, Galaga, Dig Dug, Xevious, and Mappy, while the Ms. Pacman version includes Ms. Pacman, Super Pacman, Dig Dug 2, Pac & Pal, Pacman Plus, Galaga, Galaxian, and Dig Dug.

One or two players can play the retro games on the Arcade1Up PartyCade’s 17-inch color LCD screen, with a joystick and buttons that capture the feel of the classic arcade machines. Probably the best part is that it’s a coinless operation, so there’s no limit to how many hours you play on the Arcade1Up PartyCade. Select the game that you want on the on-screen menu, then keep playing to your heart’s content.

Light up your gaming room with a portable arcade machine like the Arcade1Up PartyCade. It’s a no-brainer of a purchase from QVC, which is selling it for just $210 after a $90 discount to its original price of $300. The offer may disappear at any moment though, and once it’s gone, it may be for good. If you’re already looking forward to all the fun that you’ll have from playing on the Arcade1Up PartyCade, then you shouldn’t waste time. Click that Buy Now button as soon as you can.

One of my favorite exploration games is coming to iPhone. Even an iPhone 11 can run it
No Man’s Sky might be the game that finally makes me take iPhone gaming seriously
no man's sky

There are games I play to finish, and there are games I play simply because I want to disappear somewhere else for a while, and No Man’s Sky comes in this second category. Despite its disastrous launch, Hello Games' continued support turned the game around, making it one of gaming's biggest comebacks.

Now, ten years of updates have turned Hello Games' space sandbox into one of my favorite games for pure exploration and depth. Soon, this enormous universe is going to live on something as mundane as the phone in your pocket. Hello Games is bringing No Man’s Sky to iPhone and iPad on October 28, and the hardware requirements are surprisingly forgiving. You'll need an iPhone 11 or newer, or a third-generation iPad Air or newer.

A PS5 homebrew update gives old PS2 discs a reason to leave the shelf

Old PS2 discs can now launch games on a jailbroken PS5 through a new homebrew feature. Developer Sword has added disc autoplay to PS5SX2, a PS2 emulator that copies an inserted game to storage before running it on the newer console.

The feature arrived in version 2.01 as a beta. At release, disc autoplay had been tested on just one original-model PS5. There’s a working starting point here, but results across other setups remain uncertain.

Google’s older Pixels may have just become far better retro gaming machines
Google Pixel 11 Pro Review Zenless Zone Zero

I've spent enough time trying to turn Android phones into game consoles to know that raw horsepower only gets you so far. On the Red Magic 11S Pro, I've tested console emulation alongside Android games and eventually pushed things much further by getting the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima running locally through GameHub.

While all of this was possible thanks to powerful Snapdragon hardware, there's another reason Qualcomm-equipped Android devices have traditionally been particularly attractive to emulator enthusiasts. Adreno, the GPU that powers these devices, have access to custom graphics drivers such as Turnip. So phones using ARM's Mali GPUs haven't had the same advantage. But now, ARMSX2 2.8.3 is finally changing that.
