Are you searching high and low for the best Nintendo Switch deal going in 2024? Well, we’ve found what should be considered a pretty excellent offering for this time of year, as we usually don’t see such generous deals before the summer. You can currently secure a Nintendo Switch console for $276 at Amazon, down from $299.99, alongside an additional free $25 in Amazon credit when using promo code NSWNEON25.
Now considering how rare deals like this are, we wouldn’t be surprised if this sells out before the end of the day — you have been warned. If you are unlucky this time, you’re best off checking Best Buy, Walmart, and Dell for their respective deals on the Switch right now as well. Otherwise, ensure you’re following @IGNDeals on Twitter/X and Instagram as well for even more updates on the best gaming deals right now.
There are plenty of other great Switch deals right now as well, including over $20 off games in the Mario Day sale that extends through to March 16. This is a pretty standard deal price for Nintendo Switch games in 2024, but still notable for any new Switch owners or those who have missed a couple of titles over the past few years. This includes popular entries like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Luigi’s Mansion, Mario Party Superstars, and more all for $39.99.
Also as part of MAR10 Day, Nintendo is offering a Nintendo Switch Online 14-Day Free Trial Membership (typically 7 days), available now through until March 17. This is available even for those who have used a free trial before, so there’s plenty of opportunity to take advantage of this offer while it is still live. Great news for anyone picking up a Switch right now as well.

Sony has released the PlayStation 5 system software update 9.00 after a period in beta, and published the patch notes on its website.
This update for Sony’s console lets you adjust the brightness of your PS5’s power indicator, improves DualSense mic noise cancellation, lets you interact with the Share Screen using pointers and emojis, and enhances DualSense speaker audio.
To adjust the brightness of your PS5’s power indicator, go to Settings > System > Beep and Light, and then select Brightness.
As for the DualSense, the controller speakers can now produce higher volume sound, letting you hear in-game sounds and voice chat audio more clearly. Sony said the mic input quality on the DualSense has been improved with a new AI machine-learning model. This means background noise from button presses and game audio are “suppressed”, which, hopefully, makes for a better voice chat experience.
Elsewhere, Sony has added new features in Parties and Share Screen. As mentioned, players watching Share Screen can use pointers and emoji reactions to interact with the host’s gameplay. Viewers can use a pointer or indicate a specific location on the gameplay screen with ping, and send emoji reactions. To make this feature available, turn on Viewer Interactions in the Share Screen settings. Unicode 15.1 emoji is supported, which means you can now use them in messages.
And finally, Sony has updated the device software of the DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers, the PlayStation VR2 headset, PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, and Access controller to “improve stability.” Yep, it’s the classic “we’ve improved system software performance and stability” patch note from Sony.
The PS5 launched November 2020 during the height of the pandemic, and has now sold 54.7 million in just over three years. This November the console turns four years old, with rumors that a PS5 Pro model is waiting in the wings.
PS5 9.00 update patch notes:
We’ve updated the device software of the DualSense and DualSense Edge wireless controllers to improve their sound features.

Developer TiMi Studio Group and publisher Activision are promising that Call of Duty: Mobile isn’t going anywhere yet after its Shoot House and Alcatraz maps were removed.
The title’s official X/Twitter account calmed fans with a message today, revealing that both fan-favorite locations will be back “later this year.” It’s a much-needed update on the game’s status, as fans were quick to worry that the spinoff would soon stop receiving new content in the wake of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile’s launch later this month.
“We wanted to let you know that Shoot House and Alcatraz will soon be leaving Call of Duty: Mobile,” the post says. “This is not permanent, both will be returning later this year, rotating in and out each season like other playlists in the game.”
In a follow-up post, the team assured players that fresh content is still on track to arrive in future seasons. No information on some of the upcoming content was revealed, with fans only told to “stay tuned” for any updates.
Call of Duty®: Mobile will continue to get new content every season and there are no plans to change the breadth of content we bring to COD:M players. Stay tuned for more info on exciting new content we have coming this year!
Fans have worried that Call of Duty: Mobile and its more traditional multiplayer options would be shuttered when Warzone Mobile eventually came to iOS and Android devices. The on-the-go experience will allow players to partake in mobile versions of iconic battle royale maps like Verdansk and Rebirth Island.
The latter is actually a reimagining of the Alcatraz map, which is especially notable considering Shoot House will also make an appearance in Warzone Mobile. With both maps coming to the new game and leaving the old, fans got worried, and rumors ran rampant.
Though Call of Duty: Mobile will share some similarities with Activision’s next mobile release, there are no signs that it is going anywhere. Warzone Mobile, meanwhile, will make its proper debut on iOS and Android devices worldwide on March 21, 2024. For more on Activision’s upcoming release, be sure to read our preview, where we went over how it manages to pack massive game modes on tiny devices.

Many of the best board games tend to be geared towards smaller groups of players. So what’s one to do when you have a party or other gathering of fun-loving friends in higher numbers? Thankfully, board game and card game makers have not left these scenarios in the cold. If you know where to look, you can find some awesome tabletop experiences that cleanly and elegantly scale up to 10 or even more players, giving everyone something to partake in.
If you’re seeking a good board game to break out at your next gathering (like a New Year’s party), these are the best board games for parties and large groups. You can also check out our list of the best family board games if you’re looking for something for all ages.
TL;DR The Best Party Board Games
Don’t want to read a bunch of words? These are our favorite board games for groups to play:
This horse-racing game is founded on a simple, but powerful, premise: the earlier you risk putting down a bet on a horse, the more handsomely it’ll pay out if it comes to pass. The race – which can either be facilitated by a games-master style player or an app – is carried out in real-time and is based on dice odds, so some horses are more likely to do well than others. As the action unfolds, it’s down to players to slap down their betting chips on individual horses, or colour groups, making various race positions. While these core bets are vital to victory, each race also includes a random selection of prop bets and exotic finish bets to make sure there’s plenty of variety. And that’s your lot: it’s simple, fast, and guaranteed to get everyone on their feet, shouting, hollering and cheering for the horses they’re backing to be first across the line, with groans and commiserations for the unlucky losers.
Challengers!
Challengers! is a peculiar and innovative title, a real party game with a difference, which is one reason it won the prestigious 2023 Kennerspiel award. Its unique angle is that it’s essentially an auto-battler video game, stripped down, stuck in a box, and presented in a format that allows up to eight players to duke it out, in a similar time frame regardless of the number of combatants. The secret to this slick pitch is that everyone buys new cards for their deck and then splits into pairs, flipping cards off their stack and keeping the winner, while the looser has to keep flipping until they build up enough strength to defeat the opposing card. It’s fast, strangely addictive and surprisingly strategic, with lots of little wrinkles in its formula that a skilled player can exploit. But there’s still a whole lot of absolute nonsense match-ups to enjoy if you just want to throw down and chill out.
That’s Not A Hat
A lot of the most fun party games involve bluffing. Many other top titles involve a degree of memory. And now you can combine them both into one tiny but triumphant package in the form of That’s Not A Hat. Everyone gets a face-up card showing an everyday object. The start player draws a second such card and then all the cards are flipped face down. On the back there are arrows indicating what direction you have to pass the card in round the table, and as you pass the card you have to state what it is. The catch? You don’t get to flip the cards face-up again: you have to rely on your memory, and if someone thinks you’re lying, they can call you out. Three strikes and you’re out! The result is a fascinating and hilarious mix of recollection and pop psychology that plays in ten minutes and is sure to have every player rushing out to buy their own copy.
Wits and Wagers
Do you enjoy trivia board games, but aren’t very good at them? If you answered yes, then Wits and Wagers is the game for you. It’s a trivia game, but instead of using your own answer, you bet on who got the right answer. So if a football question comes up and you have no idea how many Super Bowl rings Peyton Manning has, you can bet on your friend who is a huge football nerd. If they get the question right you earn a point. It’s that simple. Because you don’t need to be versed in every topic under the sun, Wits and Wagers is the most accessible trivia game around. There are three versions of the game, with the party and family games having easier questions than the standard version. The party game, as the name suggests, also accommodates more players. You’ll have no reason to go back to Trivial Pursuit after picking up Wits and Wagers.
Codenames
In this approximation of a spy thriller, players are split into two teams, with one player on each team assuming the role of “spymaster.” It’s the spymaster’s job to make their team name the codewords that will earn them points. In any given game, there are 25 available codewords arranged into a five-by five grid, and the spymaster must, without actually speaking the words, use a code phrase to describe what words belong their team. For example, if three of the words are “fence,” “tree” and “door,” the spymaster might say “wood, three” to indicate that three of the words might have to do with wood. Codenames depends heavily on the spymaster to think quickly, and poorly thought-out clues can lead to some hilarious arguments. If you tire of seeing the same codewords after a handful of plays, Codenames has seen several expansions and reimaginings since its 2015 release, which can add a great deal of replay value.
It’s worth noting that there is also a version called Codenames: Duet that is one of our favorite board games for couples.
Time’s Up – Title Recall
Like all the best party games, Times Up builds a neat twist into a very simple premise, in this case by combining the best bits of pop culture quizzes and charades. You start with a pool of 40 cards showing the titles of famous films, TV shows and songs which are used over three rounds of clues and guessing. In the first round, you can say anything other than the title on the card. In the second, your clue has to be one word. And in the third, it has to be a non-verbal pantomime. This escalating series of restrictions keeps delivering the most hilarious associations that only work because players have an idea of what’s already in the pool after the first round. A fascinating combination of trivia and free-association wordplay, and all fun, all the way.
Snake Oil
Cards Against Humanity has come to dominate store shelves and nearly every online party game recommendation list, but for my money Snake Oil is an infinitely better option. It sticks to a similar formula as CAH, but injects a healthy dose of player creativity. On the active player’s turn, they randomly draw a “customer” card. The other players then take turns pitching a product to that active player by combining two object cards from their hand. For example, if the active player draws the cheerleader card, other players must combine two cards in order to make an item that might appeal to a cheerleader. The sales pitches are the meat of the game, and it’s an absolute blast to watch your friends scramble to sell a “meat bicycle” or a “puppet helmet” to a caveman. In a perfect world, Snake Oil would replace Cards Against Humanity on every game shelf.
The Resistance: Avalon
The original The Resistance was a sci-fi bluffing game in which a pool of players had to discover and out rogue agents. The Resistance: Avalon shifts the action to King Arthur’s court and ups the ante with some new roles and rules to enjoy. Everyone gets a secret role and then loyal knights have to try and complete five quests while keeping Merlin alive. The Merlin player knows who is loyal and who is not, but can’t reveal this without also revealing who they are and painting a target on their back. There are various other named roles with special powers like Percival and Mordred, creating an incredible, escalating soup of paranoia in which players have to stew for twenty or so minutes. After which it’s almost irresistible to deal some new roles and do it all again.
Telestrations
This is a commercial version of a popular family of games that involve image-based Chinese whispers. You start with a card with a phrase on it and do a sketch to illustrate that phrase. You then pass that to the next player in line who guesses the phrase, writes it down and passes that on for the next player to draw. And so on, until the whole thing comes full circle and you marvel at the garbled nonsense that’s come back to you, and every step in between, complete with ridiculous drawings to delight and amuse. For real party animals, there’s a twelve player expansion pack available to make the chains of nonsense even longer.
Dixit Odyssey
In 2010, the original Dixit won the Spiel des Jahres, Germany’s coveted game of the year award. Since then, its unique approach to storytelling in games has been expanded on and reiterated nearly a dozen times. Despite all the new content in recent years, 2011’s Dixit Odyssey remains the best version of the game. The concept is simple: each turn one player is the storyteller, and uses a simple word or phrase to describe one of the cards in their hand. Then the other players choose a card from their own hand that they feel best fits the description the storyteller gave. The cards are shuffled and then revealed, and everyone attempts to choose which card was the storyteller’s, who gets points if people correctly guess their card. The rub is they get no points if nobody or everybody guesses their card, so it’s important to find a balance between vague and descriptive when describing the card. Dixit boasts surreal and beautiful artwork that makes the game a joy to experience and discuss, and the reliance on creativity will bring out the storyteller in even your most stubborn friends.
Wavelength
Wavelength brings a new dimension to guessing games by getting players talking about their opinions rather than their trivia knowledge. Each round posits a pair of extremes, such as “straight” and “curvy”. Players take turns giving clues to their teams, which involves spinning a dial in secret to get a point somewhere between these two limits and then trying to come up with a hint to guide them to the right point. So for those clues, if the dial is showing two-thirds toward “straight” a good clue might be “hand-drawn line”. Not only is this a fun, fresh challenge every time but it’s subjective enough to be a real talking point for your party. With cooperative and competitive modes, Wavelength is a great pick across all tastes and ages.
One Night Ultimate Werewolf
The One Night franchise has become nearly synonymous with the term “party game,” and for good reason. It’s simple to learn, encourages a lot of player interaction, and plays in about 10 minutes. At the start of the game, each player is dealt a secret role, and it’s the goal of group to weed out who the werewolves are, unless of course you are a werewolf yourself. Each role has a special ability that help offer clues, such as the seer who can look at some of the roles, or the troublemaker who can switch roles with someone else. Because there’s no 100 percent way to know who is telling the truth, the game depends on your ability to read your friends’ tells. Each game is a chaotic flurry of accusations that will have the table in lively conversation during and after the game. If you want a good idea of what One Night Ultimate Werewolf has to offer, check out this video of a sample game. There are also several different flavors available, from vampires to aliens, if werewolves aren’t your cup of tea. Fair warning if you choose to pick this one up: friendships may be destroyed while playing this horror board game.
Monikers
In Monikers–a brand new take on the old Charades-like game Celebrity–you’ll act out a variety of goofy characters like Count Chocula, Drunk Jeff Goldblum, a dead horse, and literally hundreds more. Rounds get progressively more limiting as the game goes on–for example, words and gestures are legal in round one, but you can only use one word in round two, and round three takes away your ability to speak altogether. Because you’ll be using the same cards in every round, you’ll wind up making clever in-jokes with your group as you start to repeat cards. The subject choices pay homage to not only celebrities, but to modern viral memes and videos like David After Dentist and Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress. Shut Up and Sit Down put it quite bluntly in its review: “It’s the most you’ll laugh playing a game.” Truly, Monikers is the be-all-end-all of party games.
Decrypto
In Decrypto, two teams attempt to work out a numeric code by interpreting clues given to them by an encryptor. At the start of a round, four words are randomly assigned to the numbers one through four, and the team’s chosen encryptor secretly draws a three-digit code. Their job is to make the rest of the team guess the code–in the proper order–by giving clues about the words associated with the numbers. It’s a bit like Codenames in that way, but the twist comes thanks to a clever “interception” mechanic that allows a team the opportunity to guess their opponents’ code. This means encryptors must be careful about giving out too much information about their code, making Decrypto a fascinating balancing act that does an admirable job of making players feel like actual spies.

The Grandia HD Collection is finally coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S via backwards compatibility) on March 26, 2024, publisher GungHo Online Entertainment America has announced.
The collection, which launched on PC and Nintendo Switch in 2019, puts the two role-playing game classics of Grandia and Grandia 2 in a remastered collection with improved UI, sprites, and texture art alongside widescreen support and visually enhanced cinematics.
The Grandia HD Collection will be available digitally and in a limited edition physical version through Limited Run Games. This version can be preordered as of March 15 for $34.99 but, unlike other classic game remasters like Konami’s recently announced Felix the Cat, this one won’t come with any fancier editions or bonus content.
“The Grandia HD Collection features two genre defining role-playing games: Grandia and Grandia 2,” the official synopsis reads. “These games send players on epic adventures with protagonists Justin and Ryudo, respectively, to explore the worlds of Grandia and protect them from the forces of evil.”
It includes Japanese and English audio options alongside English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (simplified and traditional) text language support.
The original versions of both Grandia and Grandia 2 earned a 9/10 in IGN’s reviews.

System Shock fans who lack a gaming PC will be able to play the remake of the first game pretty soon. A new trailer for the System Shock remake console ports revealed that the game will be released on May 21, 2024, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
You can check out the new trailer below. Unfortunately, Nightdive Studios did not provide any details on when Linux and MacOS users can expect their respective ports to be released.
The announcement comes nearly a year after Nightdive Studios released System Shock Remake on Windows PCs. The console release has been a long time coming for PlayStation and Xbox players itching to play the remake of this influential ’90s sci-fi shooter.
A few days after the PC version was released last year, Nightdive Studios revealed that the console versions were “running smoothly” in a developer Q&A held on its 100th Kickstarter post. However, it mentioned that it required “a few rounds of QA support” before it could receive certification, ensuring it was putting out the best product to players.
Nightdive Studios began development for System Shock Remake in 2015. Roughly a year later, the developer launched a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2016, raising over $1.3 million in funds. However, the game had a long and troubled development cycle, and Nightdive had to delaythe releaseseveral times. The reasons for the game’s delay include the switch from the game engine Unity to Unreal Engine 4 and the pivot from making it a reboot to making it a “faithful remake.”
In our review of System Shock Remake, we awarded it a 9/10, saying, “System Shock deftly returns a classic immersive shooter to its place on top of the heap, updated for nearly anyone to enjoy.”

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi was surprised the remake once again spurred a debate around the use of yellow paint in video games.
Using yellow paint on ledges and walls to indicates a traversable area in a video game has been a hot topic among players ever since its rise in popularity in the likes of Uncharted on PlayStation 3. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth uses this tactic too, with players voicing their opinions on it since the first demo for the role-playing game was released.
Speaking to Red Bull, Hamaguchi said he “didn’t think that the yellow paint [debate would be] discussed on social media” following the demo’s release, and said he and the development team at Square Enix have heard players load and clear.
“For things like camera options, where people have a wide variety of preferences and there’s no one right answer, our basic approach is to offer various accessibility options,” Hamaguchi said. “So I would like to take on board the valuable feedback we have received towards this for future games.”
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is just the middle part of an entire remake trilogy, so this comment perhaps suggests Square Enix may make the yellow paint an optional accessibility feature in the third and final game, or perhaps allow players to adjust the intensity of it themselves.
In our 9/10 review of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, IGN said: “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth impressively builds off of what Remake set in motion, both as a best-in-class action-RPG full of exciting challenges and an awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long.”

Persona 3 Reload players have taken to Steam to express frustration at Atlus announcing a $35 expansion pass one month after promising the game is a “complete experience”.
Persona 3 Reload’s expansion pass has been dubbed a “cash grab” by some fans who spent as much as $200 on the Collector’s Edition only to see more content announced just one month later. “Imagine buying a $100 Premium Edition and one month later you have to buy another $35 for what is just cut content,” Hourai said in a Steam review. “Awful cash grab,” added Zandig.
Persona Team production manager Kazuhisa Wada insisted fans could buy Persona 3 Reload with confidence upon its February 2 launch, however, promising it “offers a complete experience”. But on March 6, Atlus announced an expansion pass containing more background music from Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal, additional costumes, and the Episode Aigis expansion, which included around 30 hours of extra content in the original game. Atlus itself calls this segment the “final chapter” of Persona 3 Reload.
The Steam reviews for Persona 3 Reload have taken a hit in response to the announcement of the expansion pass, the first wave of which (including the bonus tracks) arrives today, March 12. Just 2.98% of reviews were negative on launch compared to 39.22% today.
It’s the specific expansion pass Steam page that has taken the brunt of frustration, however, as it currently has a “mostly negative” rating with just 21% of its reviews being positive.
“People who bought the $100 Digital Premium Edition or $200 Aigis Edition should be entitled to this,” wrote Crazydog1435, referencing that most deluxe editions now come with the season pass included. “Love how this doesn’t come with any of the expensive editions,” said Timo654.
“Great game but this remake shouldn’t have been advertised as a Persona 3 remake without FES content just for this to be announced a month later for such an egregious price and not included in the big versions we’ve already bought,” said Photo.
“Devs lie saying ‘no FES content planned’ yet this releases just over a month after initial release,” said thatguyoverthere. “I am the problem. I bought this since it’ll probably be fun, but I’ve spent about $60 in additional content for this game for things that should’ve been in there day one. I really hope this doesn’t happen again with any Atlus or SEGA game.”
Persona 3 Reload also has myriad pieces of downloadable content available at launch including costumes and additional music. IGN has asked Atlus for comment.
In our 9/10 review, IGN said: “With a stellar visual overhaul and countless small but impactful changes, Persona 3 Reload tells a timeless story of tragedy and hope with sharp emotional sincerity.”

Rejoice, Elden Ring fans, as the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion now has a nailed-down release date of June 21. What’s better than that? Well, a discount on DLC of course. It’s currently priced at $39.99 MSRP, sparking speculation that this could truly be a massive offering for fans. But, if you’re on PC, we highly recommend picking up Shadow of the Erdtree from Green Man Gaming or Fanatical, trusted online PC code merchants who currently have the DLC listed for $35.19 and £30.79 in the UK.
That’s $4.80 savings, and 12% off for an expansion Elden Ring fans are most certainly going to buy — it’s a Steam code as well so this is a no-brainer. This was out of stock for a couple of weeks, but is now back and available once again, so this is a huge deal. We’ll leave a handy link to the deal just below.
The base version of Elden Ring returned a 10/10 in IGN’s review. “Elden Ring is a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path,” we said.
