Early Black Friday deal: 20% off
If you're hooked on Apex Legends (and who isn't?) then now's the time to top up on its in-game currency, currently on sale at 20% off. Never has buying a hat for Octane seemed so appealing.
Madden 22
Regular price: £59.99
Early Black Friday deal: £33.99
We don't understand the first thing about American football, but by all accounts Madden 22 plays a mean game of the US sport. Including Ultimate Team and an in-depth career mode, this is a game that'll last all year long.
Spiritfarer
Regular price: £29.99
Early Black Friday deal: £24.99
A real tear-jerker of a game, Spiritfarer puts you in the shoes of a young woman who ferries the spirits of animals to their final resting place. What could be a morbid premise is actually life-affirming, and the game's message of understanding and caring will stick with you long after it ends.
PowerA Spectra Enhanced Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch
Regular price: £29.99
Early Black Friday deal: £24.99
Most third-party controllers aren't much to write home about, which is why it's a pleasant surprise that this PowerA gamepad for the Switch is a real treat. Its built-in LED lighting gives it a unique and sleek feel, while the buttons feel almost as responsive as an official controller. Can't say fairer than that.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Regular price: £17.99
Early Black Friday deal: £14.99
Adding a hefty dose of modern action to Homeric adventure, Assassin's Creed Odyssey takes players on a whistle-stop tour of Ancient Greece, giving you the chance to craft a character who'll fight their way through hordes of mythic legends. Even if you've never played an Assassin's Creed game before, this is worth picking up purely for the rich opportunities in digital tourism it offers. These are landscapes that can go toe-to-toe with the real thing.
Far Cry 5
Regular price: £15.99
Early Black Friday deal: £13.99
Onto another feted entry in Ubisoft's open world games, Far Cry 5 is a delight if your idea of a good night in involves shooting cultists in their extremist faces. Boasting a massive and dynamic open world, this is one of the strongest entries in the Far Cry series so far.
NFS Heat
Regular price: £19
Early Black Friday deal: £16.99
EA's flagship racing series returns with NFS Heat, a stylish neon-drenched game that offers frenetic thrills and more drifting than a broken Nintendo Switch joystick. Taking the game back to its 'cops and robbers' roots, Heat sees you race through fictitious American cities as you escape the authorities and flagrantly break the Highway Code.
