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!

Google’s AI-powered Playground can turn your game idea into something playable with simple prompts
Playground lets you build, test, and share games without writing code.
Google Playground AI generated game

Every gamer has probably had an idea for a game they would love to make. The problem usually starts when you look at what building one actually involves. Learning a game engine, understanding game logic and physics, and getting everything to work together is enough to stop plenty of ideas before they ever become playable.

Google wants to remove much of that friction with Playground, a new experimental platform that lets you create games by simply describing what you want. You can start with an idea, turn it into something playable, and keep changing the rules, characters, physics, and environments through natural-language prompts without writing code. Playground is launching today in the U.S. for users aged 18 and older. Creation access will roll out in tiers depending on your Google One membership.
