The Humble Freedom Bundle is a great deal for an even greater cause

Add as a preferred source on Google

Since 2010, Humble Bundle has partnered with developers to sell user-friendly bundles of critically acclaimed games. The distribution platform extends beyond the games sphere, though, as each bundle can be bought to benefit charitable foundations. Normally, the minimum bundle price is just a dollar, but the system is pay-as-you-please. Users are encouraged to set a fair price, and then choose how to allocate the cost between the developers, charity, and Humble Bundle. The latest bundle, the Humble Freedom Bundle, is one of the best offerings yet and works a bit differently.

The Humble Freedom Bundle includes 39 games, from indie darlings to promising early access titles. Every game in the bundle can be unlocked on Steam, and some of the titles are digital rights management-free. Here is the full list:

  • The Witness
  • Stardew Valley
  • Subnautica (Early Access)
  • Day of the Tentacle Remastered
  • Overgrowth (Early Access)
  • Nuclear Throne
  • Octodad: Dadliest Catch
  • Invisible, Inc.
  • Super Meat Boy
  • World of Goo
  • Mushroom 11
  • No Time to Explain Remastered
  • The Stanley Parable
  • Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
  • Super Hexagon
  • VVVVVV
  • Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition
  • The Swapper
  • Thirty Flights of Loving
  • Spirits
  • Human Resource Machine
  • ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS
  • 2064: Read Only Memories
  • A Virus Named TOM
  • 7 Grand Steps: What Ancients Begat
  • Mini Metro
  • Retro Game Crunch
  • Tower of Guns
  • Waking Mars
  • Song of the Deep
  • Monster Loves You!
  • AI War: Fleet Command
  • Sproggiwood
  • Hot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore a Fedora
  • Secrets of Raetikon
  • Girls Like Robots
  • Ellipsis Streamling (Early Access)
  • Ninja Pizza Girl
  • Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball

The bundle also includes an assortment of ebooks, audiobooks, comics, and graphic novels.

The minimum payment is $30, but since each game averages out to less than a dollar and the retail price would be $600, it’s an incredible bargain. Most importantly, all proceeds go to the American Civil Liberties Union, International Rescue Committee, and MSF International. Humble Bundle will match all donations to these organizations up to $300,000. As of publication, that mark was already hit with roughly 10,000 bundles purchased.

United, we stand. Together with devs & authors, we support the @ACLU, @theIRC & @MSF with the Humble #FreedomBundle. https://t.co/NYAlU5H18N pic.twitter.com/12ocEbKiiS

AMD is quietly building a frame generation mode that beats Nvidia at its own game
AMD's next frame generation trick might make your GPU pump out seven extra frames for free.
AMD RX 7800

AMD has been hinting at Multi-Frame Generation for its Radeon cards for a while now, and it looks like the company is further along than it has let on. Preliminary support quietly showed up in the ADLX FidelityFX SDK back in April with the FSR Redstone update, letting users pick a frame generation ratio for the best mix of performance and image quality.

Since then, AMD has shipped several big driver updates, including FSR 4.1.1. As reported by Wccftech, a user on the Chiphell forums used a tool called RadeonTuner to dig through the Adrenalin 26.6.2 WHQL drivers and found options AMD has not talked about publicly. RadeonTuner is a cleaner, more user-friendly take on the Adrenalin software, and it can surface features that live inside the driver but never appear in the official app.

I wouldn’t have recommended this Nintendo Switch 2 accessory before, but this deal changes everything
Nintendo Switch 2

Buying a Nintendo Switch 2 isn't exactly cheap these days, especially after Nintendo's recent US price adjustments. That's why it's refreshing to see one of the console's accessories getting an unexpectedly deep discount.

If you've ignored the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera because it seemed overpriced, now might be the perfect time to take another look. GameStop has slashed the accessory to just $10, a huge drop from its regular $55 asking price. That's roughly 82% off, making it one of the best Switch 2 deals we've seen in a while. To put that into perspective, the camera now costs less than many Switch 2 carrying cases or screen protectors. At this price, it's much easier to take a chance on an accessory you may have skipped at launch.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc
Santa Monica Studio quietly confirmed the upcoming adventure won't be download-only.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release
