The 2021 Prime Day deals are finally here, bringing the best chance of the summer to score huge discounts on all sorts of goodies — and not just tech. If you’re after Prime Day gaming deals to upgrade your battle station, then Staples has one of the best ones up for grabs right now, with a huge 45% price cut that slashes the Emerge Vortex leather gaming chair down to just $125. Act fast, though; this is a limited-time offer that won’t last long.

Having the best hardware is vital for any gaming setup, whether you’re a dedicated console player or an old-school desktop PC is more your flavor. That goes a lot further than the CPU and GPU that’s under the hood of your gaming system, however. You also want to have a good controller, mouse, and/or keyboard, along with a proper gaming headset for immersing yourself in the virtual world and communicating with your teammates. And, of course, you need a good gaming chair.

Every gamer knows that time tends to vanish during play sessions, but if you’re parked in a poorly designed chair, then you’ll start to notice after a while. Worse than discomfort are the long-term problems that a bad seat can cause to your body, so it’s worth it to spend a little money and get a more ergonomically designed gaming chair like the Emerge Vortex, which contours to your frame and provides more lumbar support than you standard office chair.

Along with its padded leather surfaces and ergonomic design, the Emerge Vortex gaming chair features a great black and red aesthetic with contrast-color stitching that looks slick without being garish. The wheeled chair, which can support up to 275 pounds, is also height-adjustable and features a tilt lock feature that lets you dial in the right level of support. The padded armrests can flip up when you want them out of the way, as well.

Although a good gaming chair is always a worthy investment, you thankfully don’t have to spend a fortune to get a good one as this Prime Day deal shows. Staples has the Emerge Vortex leather gaming chair on sale right now for a super-deep 45% markdown that brings it down to a very affordable $125 for a short time only.

AMD’s FSR 4 is coming to handhelds, so I can see myself losing games in higher resolution
AMD’s FSR 4 is coming to handhelds, but your Steam Deck might be left out
Steam Deck

AMD is bringing its FSR 4 upscaling technology to handheld gaming PCs by the end of 2026, potentially giving portable devices a welcome boost in gaming performance. The catch? It is still unclear whether existing devices such as the Steam Deck and ROG Ally will get the upgrade or whether gamers will need to buy new hardware.

AMD consumer chip chief Jack Huynh confirmed the expansion in comments to South Korean publication The Elec. The company plans to bring its machine-learning-based FSR 4 technology to APUs, gaming laptops and handheld devices, expanding it beyond the desktop graphics cards it initially supported.

ARC Raiders just dropped its biggest update yet, and I’m having a blast
I waited six months for Arc Raider's Frozen Trails, and it's like I never left.
Arc Raiders Frozen Trial Frigate in the map

After watching all of those teasers and trailers, I avoided any of the early impressions of Arc Raiders' latest update from gaming channels on YouTube and dived right into the new map, Pendola Pass. Embark’s massive 2.0 update introduces a snowy Italian mountain settlement beyond the Rust Belt where one of the enormous Emperor ARC machines has somehow fallen.

After a few raids, I thought I had seen everything, from the new Arc enemies to the new map. But just before I was getting ready to drop into Pendola Pass for the fifth time, that's when I noticed the Frigate mentioned on Blue Gate. So obviously, I went to check it out. As I first laid eyes on this flying fortress, I knew we're so back.

Netflix will publish the mobile version, which will require an active membership despite being free to download. Neither store listing gives us a release date yet, but this appears to be the full game rather than a stripped-down mobile spin-off.
