Get a Brand New Ecoflow River 3 Power Station for 40% Less Than on Amazon (Now Just $113)

Winter season is fast approaching (technically winter starts on December 21 here in the States). You should seriously consider picking up at least a power station to keep your mobile electronics topped up in case of emergencies. If you already are, then check out this great Ecoflow deal just in time for the holidays.

Right now, AliExpress is offering the Ecoflow River 3 230Wh LiFePO4 power station for just $113.45 after you apply $20 off code "AEUS20". It's sold through Ecoflow's official Aliexpress storefront and it ships from a local US warehouse so your order delivers quickly and you don't need to worry about additional tariff fees. Although the product images state a 5 year warranty, I think it actually comes with a 2 year warranty according to Ecoflow's website.

Update: If the page you land on says that the vendor "cannot ship to your location", just proceed to add the power station to your cart. Go back to the product page and it will refresh with the correct shipping options.

Ecoflow River 3 Power Station for $113.45

The Ecoflow River 3 is a truly portable power station that weighs in at under 8 pounds and is 30% more compact than its River 2 precedessor. The AliExpress model has a slightly lower 230Wh capacity compared to the 245Wh on Amazon. Other than that, the two are identical; it has two 300W (600W surge) AC outlets, one 100W USB Type-C port, and two 18W USB Type-A ports. The River 3 can be recharged using traditional AC from 0% to 100% in only one hour.

The River 3 uses LiFePO4 cells, which are safer and retain their charge longer than other lithium battery types. The 230Whr battery is meant for lower powered electronics like your PC or laptop, phone, tablet, or just about anything else that doesn't use too much electricity (ideally under 200W). Power hungry electronics and appliances won't last long.

Although the River 3 is typically used as a mobile backup power solution when you have no available grid power, it can also work as an always-on passthrough AC power strip. It has an EPS function that will automatically swap to battery power when there is a power outage. The shutoff delay is less than 10ms, which is fast enough for even sensitive electronics like PCs to remain powered on during the switchover.

The River 3 is a smart battery and thus you can change settings, check on its status, and power on or off outlets remotely, all from your phone. In my personal experience, Ecoflow has good product support.

The Best Dell & Alienware Deals and Coupons: Gaming Laptops, PCs, Monitors, and More

Not everyone is the DIY type. If you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC, Dell is one of the best brands we'd recommend. Alienware desktops and laptops feature solid build quality, top-of-the-line gaming performance, excellent cooling (further improved on the newer models), aggressive styling, and pricing that is very competitive with other pre-built options. Best of all, there are plenty of sales that happen throughout the year, so it's not difficult to grab one of these computers at considerably less than their retail price.

Dell and Alienware Coupons

Alienware Aurora R16 Gaming PC Deals

The Aurora R16 is Alienware's bread and butter gaming PC. It can be equipped with an Nvidia RTX 5060 graphics card all the way up to an RTX 5080 and the prices for Cyber Monday are extremely competitive with other brands. For example, currently Alienware has the least expensive prebuilt RTX 5080 gaming PC that I've found anywhere. Most of these systems are customizable, however it's not difficult to upgrade your own RAM and storage yourself.

Alienware Area-51 Gaming PC Deals

If you're seeking the absolute best of the best in PC gaming performance, look no further. Dell unveiled the new Alienware Area-51 gaming PC at CES 2025. The chassis is a super-sized upgrade to the Aurora R16 system with aesthetic and cooling redesigns. The internal components have been refreshed with a new motherboard, faster RAM, and bigger power supply to accommodate the new generation of CPUs and GPUs. With a high-end system like this, it's only fitting that it be equipped with an RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 graphics card, so these are the configurations I've listed here. Note that Dell Outlet refurbished PCs come with the same warranty as buying new.

Alienware Aurora Gaming Laptop Deals

Alienware's new mainstream gaming laptop for 2025 is dubbed the "Alienware Aurora" and it replaces the previous generation's x16 and m16 series of laptops. It comes in two models: the 16 and 16X. The 16 is the more economical model, but gamers should definitely opt for the higher-end 16X model. If you're looking for build quality and performance on par with the previous generation m16, then the 16X is its spiritual successor. It features an anodized aluminum lid and base, a higher quality display, a more powerful CPU, and a GPU that isn't throttled for maximum gaming performance.

Alienware Area-51 Gaming Laptop Deals

Alienware 18 Area-51 (18")

Alienware 16 Area-51 (16")

The Area-51 is Alienware's new flagship gaming laptop for 2025. It features an anodized aluminum shell for both the lid and bottom chassis with a gorgeous iridescent finish. The frame is made of a durable and lightweight magnesium alloy. Cooling has been upgraded with generous amounts of copper and a new thermal interface material to better transfer heat away from your hottest components as well as more fans and bigger cutouts for greater airflow. Dell claims that the laptop can handle a higher power ceiling of up to 240W TDP without raising acoustics.

Design-wise, the Area 51 has a sleeker, more contoured shape compared to previous models, with rounded edges and soft corners replacing the traditional squared off design. The hinges are internally positioned so that they're near invisible. There's a transparent window on the undercarriage to show off the internal components. As befits an Alienware laptop, there's plenty of RGB illunimation, although most of it can be turned off if you want your laptop to be a bit more subtle.

Gaming Monitor Deals

Dell makes some of the highest quality gaming monitors around. They're easily on par with the best that other brands like Samsung, LG, and Asus have to offer. For Cyber Monday, they're also incredibly well-priced. For example, the venerable 34" Alienware AW3423DWF Qfor $499.99 is the lower price I've ever seen for a 34" OLED monitor. By the way, if you do opt for a Dell or Alienware OLED monitor, you also get a 3 year warranty that includes OLED burn-in protection.

Save 40% Off the Latest Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones Ahead of Christmas

Sony's newest flagship wireless noise cancelling headphone is back on sale again. Just in time for the holidays, Secondipity via eBay is selling certified refurbished Sony WH-1000XM6 wireless noise canceling headphones for just $279.99 (normally $450) after coupon code "KLARNAUS50". It also comes with a 2-year Allstate extended warranty.

This is an amazing gift for anyone who would appreciate a pair of some of the best noise canceling headphones on the market. Your order arrives in 2-4 days, well before Christmas.

Secondipity is a well-established reseller of refurbished Sony products across eBay, Amazon, and more. The eBay storefront has over 100K reviews with a greater than 99% rating.

Sony WH-1000XM6 Headphones for $279.99

Certified refurbished

The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones is the 2025 successor to the WH-1000XM5 that was released way back in 2022. Both sound quality and noise cancelation have been noticeably improved on the XM6 thanks to a more powerful QN3 audio processor and a total of 12 beam-forming microphones that do a great job of picking up and cancelling out unwanted noise. The XM6 is also more comfortable to wear because of the hinged earcups. The same design also allows the XM6 to be more easily stowed away since the earcups can be folded inwards to fit in a smaller carrying case.

It can last up to 30 hours on a single charge, and a quick 3 minute top-up over USB Type-C will give you up to 3 hours of continuous playback. You can save some money by going with an older generation XM5 or even the XM4, but as long as it is within your budget, the XM6's improvements in sound quality, noise cancelation, and ergonomics makes the new model worth it.

The iBuyPower Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming PC Is the Most Powerful Prebuilt for Under $1,500

If you're looking to upgrade your gaming PC and want to keep your budget to under $1,500, then one deal stands out above all the rest. Walmart is offering the iBuypower Element Pro gaming PC equipped with an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU for just $1,449 with free delivery. This beats out the Black Friday price for the exact same configuration by $50. The Radeon RX 9070 XT is an outstanding graphics card that can run the latest games (like Battlefield 6) in 4K. See the deal below.

iBuypower Element Pro Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming PC $1,449

The iBuypower gaming PC is generously equipped across the board. It features an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X CPU, Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and 2TB M.2 SSD. The Ryzen 9 7900X processor has a max boost clock of 5.6GHz with 12 cores and 24 threads. This is an excellent CPU for both gaming and multi-tasking and you won't need to upgrade from it for a long time. It's cooled by a very robust 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling system and runs off an 850W power supply.

The Radeon RX 9070 XT Received a 10/10 at IGN

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is the only 2025-released GPU that we gave a 10/10 score. Even though it costs $150 less than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, the 9070 XT beats it out in several of the games we tested. In a few benchmarks, the results aren't even close. The 9070 XT approaches the performance of the $1,000 RX 7900 XTX but with better ray tracing and upscaling performance than its predecessor.

This is the least expensive graphics card from either AMD or Nvidia that I would comfortably recommend for playing the latest and most demanding games in 4K at 60fps or higher framerates. Check out our AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT review for more information.

This 2025 65" Samsung 4K OLED Smart TV Just Dopped to $899.99 Exclusively at Best Buy

The Samsung S84/S85 TVs boast all the advantages of OLED technology that makes them one of the best TVs for gaming, but at a much lower price tag than other OLED TVs. Best Buy is once again offering a 2025 65" Samsung S84F 4K OLED Smart TV for just $899.99 with free delivery. This was one of the lowest prices I saw for any 65" OLED TV during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and it's back for one more hurrah. The sale most likely ends on Saturday, December 13.

65" Samsung S84F 4K OLED Smart TV for $899.99

The Samsung S84F is a current generation (2025) TV that's equipped with a W-OLED panel. OLED TVs boast superior image quality compared to any non-OLED TV thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio, near-instantaneous response times, and ability to produce true blacks. The main difference between this TV and Samsung's more expensive S90F is that the S84F doesn't have quantum dot technology which offers a bit higher brightness and a slightly wider color gamut. Unless you put the TVs side by side (and even if you do), the different in image quality is probably unnoticeable for most people.

The Samsung S84F has the features you want in a current-gen gaming TV, like HDMI 2.1 ports and a native 120Hz panel for running 4K at 120fps on a PS5 or Xbox Series, variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode. It's also a good TV for running the Nintendo Switch 2 in docked mode, although the Switch 2 can only run games at up to 60fps in 4K.

Right now this is the lowest price we can find for a brand new and fully warrantied 65" OLED TV, especially if you want to stick with a tried and true brand like Samsung. Best Buy is a good place to buy your TV from because it's easier to return if you have any problems (a 65" TV can still fit in a reasonably sized SUV).

The Popular Bambu P1S Combo 3D Printer Is Back in Stock at Best Buy, Matches Black Friday Deal

Bambu is widely considered one of the premier 3D printer brands. The Bambu P1S printer is one of its most popular models and it went on sale for Black Friday, but sold out relatively quickly. Fortunately, it's back in time for the holiday season.

Best Buy has the Bambu P1S Combo 3D Printer with Automatic Material System for multi-color printing for just $549.99 after a $200 off instant discount. This printer was $899 when it first launched, but prices have been steadily dropping since then. This was one of the best 3D printer deals I saw during Black Friday and I'm glad it's back.

Bambu P1S Combo for $549.99

The Bambu P1S is the best Bambu 3D printer for most people; this is Bambu's mid-range model and offers several useful premium features at a reasonable cost. It's almost entirely fully assembled out of the box and setup should take under 15 minutes. Unlike cheaper 3D printers, the P1S features a fully enclosed chamber, which is necessary to stabilize temperature and ambient conditions in order to produce more consistent results. It boasts an acceleration speed of up to 20000 mm/s² and can print a benchy in 18 minutes. A built-in camera allows you to remotely monitor the printing process.

The P1S Combo model includes the Automatic Material System or AMS. This module basically allows for multi-filament printing, which means you can use up to four different types of filament material or colors per AMS (you can daisy chain up to four AMS to manage as many as 16 different filaments). The AMS itself normally retails $350, so it's best to get it in this combo, especially if you plan on getting it anyway in the long run.

Get These Powerful Sofirn High-Powered LED Flashlights for 50% Less Than Buying From Amazon

It's smart to have a light source on hand for emergencies, especially since everyday carry flashlights can be had for a throwaway price. Just in time for the holidays, Aliexpress is offering a great deal on two powerful Sofirn flashlights. These are popular amongst the enthusiast flashlight community. They're much more expensive if you bought them from Amazon, so why not save over 50% off by getting it direct from Sofirn's official AliExpress storefront. They ship free from a local US warehouse, which means no hidden tariffs or obnoxious shipping times. These would make a pretty great, and extremely practical, gift for the holidays, since they'll arrive before Christmas.

Sofirn SP36 Pro 8,000-Lumen LED Flashlight for $32.77

The powerful yet compact Sofirn SP36 Pro 8,000-Lumen Rechargeable LED Flashlight, now just $32.77 after you apply $4 off coupon code "AEUS04". This exact flashlight normally sells for $70 on Amazon.

The Sofirn SP36 Pro is a compact EDC style flashlight, measuring just 5" in length and weighing about 10 ounces without the battery. It features a rugged aluminum shell and has an IPX8 rating, which means it can be submerged in water up to 1 meter deep. The flashlight comes with three 18650 Li-on batteries that can be recharged with a USB Type-C cable.

The light array is comprised of four Luminus SST-40 LEDs each with is own individual reflector. They combine for a maximum output of 8,000 lumens and a beam distance of up to 450 meters, which means that this little flashlight can illuminate an entire football field. The intensity is adjustable so you can conserve battery life.

Sofirn Q8 Plus 16,000-Lumen LED Flashlight for $52

If you can swing a few more dollars, the Sofirn Q8 Plus is arguably the better - and certainly the rarer - deal. It's currently $51.84 after $8 off coupon code "AEUS08". This exact flashlight normally sells for $120 on Amazon.

It's only a tad longer than the SP36 Pro at 5.2 inches, but a lot heavier at 17 ounces. That extra weight is worth it because the light can output up to 16,000 lumens, or roughly double that of the SP36 Pro, thanks to six Cree XHP50B LEDs each with its own reflector. The flashlight includes three beefier 21700 batteries that can also be charged over USB-C.

The Decked Out Lenovo Legion Tower 7i RTX 5090 Gaming PC Is Back in Stock, and for a Great Price

Lenovo's most powerful Legion gaming PC is back in stock, but not only that, it's also the least expensive RTX 5090 prebuilt that i can find from any retailer. The Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 10 gaming PC equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and RTX 5090 graphics card is marked down to $3,752.49 after coupon code "EXTRAFIVE".

This is Lenovo's highest-end gaming PC. What's even better about this deal is this system includes 64GB of DDR5 RAM which commands an exorbitantly high price by itself in today's market.

Lenovo Legion Tower 7i RTX 5090 Gaming PC for $3,752

The Legion Tower 7i is Lenovo's top-end desktop computer, boasting a well-ventilated chassis with a mesh front panel that houses six total 120mm fans (including three fans for the 360mm liquid cooling system) to keep your components nice and cool. The system is powered by a generously oversized 1,200W power supply. We reviewed last year's Legion Tower 7i desktop, which uses the same chassis, and came away impressed.

This particular configuration features an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor, GeForce RTX 5090 32GB graphics card, a whopping 64GB of DDR5-5600MHz of RAM, and a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD. According to Passmark, the Core Ultra 9 285K is Intel's best gaming CPU. It's paired with 64GB of DDR5 memory, which is a generous amount for this price.

The RTX 5090 Is the Most Powerful Graphics Card Ever

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 has emerged as the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Although with this generation Nvidia has prioritized software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology to improve gameplay performance, the 5090 still brings an impressive 25%-30% uplift over the RTX 4090 in hardware-based raster performance. If you want the best performance for your gaming PC, there's no competition. Check out our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 FE review.

Why Choose Lenovo?

Lenovo Legion gaming PCs and laptops generally feature better build quality than what you'd find from other prebuilt PCs. For desktop PCs in particular, people like the fact that Lenovo does not use proprietary components in its computer systems, so they're easier to upgrade with off-the-shelf parts. Although we haven't yet reviewed the new 2025 models, we have reviewed last year's Legion 7i desktop and really liked its build quality and performance.

The Aluminum Alienware 16X Aurora RTX 5070 Gaming Laptop Drops to the Lowest Price of the Year

The new-for-2025 Alienware 16X Aurora gaming laptop is on sale today at a price that's lower than any Black Friday deal. You can pick up a well-specced laptop featuring an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and RTX 5070 GPU for just $1,549.99 with free shipping. This exact config sold for $1,650 during Black Friday. The 16X Aurora is one of the more premium laptops available featuring an aluminum body, high quality display, and current generation processor and graphics.

Alienware 16X Aurora RTX 5070 Gaming Laptop

Gamers should go with the Alienware 16X Aurora model

For 2025, Alienware replaced its venerable m16 laptop with two new models - the 16X and 16 Aurora. Of the two, the 16X Aurora is the model I would recommend for most gamers. It has a higher price tag but the upgrades more than make up for the relatively small price premium. Here's a list of all of the improvements:

  • Better display (2560x1600 240Hz G-Sync vs 2560x1600 120Hz)
  • More powerful CPU (Intel Core Ultra HX series vs Intel Core H-series)
  • Higher GPU TGP rating and thus better performance
  • More premium materials (metal alloy lid and chassis vs lid only)
  • RGB keyboard vs white-only backlighting
  • Thunderbolt 4.0 port

Compared to other Alienware laptops, the 16X Aurora is designed to look less like a gamer's laptop. It boasts a sleek, understated design with the absence of extraneous visual-only embellishments or unnecessary RGB lighting outside of the keyboard illumination. This is a solidly built machine with a metal (magnesium alloy) chassis and anodized aluminum lid and bottom shell. The keyboard deck is made out of a sturdy composite plastic so that your hands don't get too hot or sweaty. Under the hood, the 16X Aurora packs a punch with powerful components and Cryo Chamber cooling.

It's equipped with a Geforce RTX 5070 mobile GPU

The RTX 5070 performs about 5%-10% better than the RTX 4070 that it replaces. That's not a very big generational improvement, but the RTX 5070 has the newer DLSS 4 technology with multi-frame generation, which widens the performance gap in games that support it. There are 16X Aurora laptop configurations equipped with RTX 5060 GPUs available, but I'd strongly recommending bumping up to the RTX 5070 to be able to play games comfortably on the display's enhanced 2560x1600 resolution .

Sonos Continues Its Cyber Sale With 25% Off Select Recertified Soundbars, Speakers, and Subs

Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be over, but Sonos has decided to continue the deals extravaganza with a new 48-hour Cyber Sale. For Tuesday and Wednesday, you can score some new discounts on select certified refurbished soundbars, speakers, and subs. Sonos refurbished products come like new, in pristine packaging with all the original accessories. They even come with the same one year warranty as a brand new product.

Sonos Era 100 Smart Speaker

The Sonos Era 100 retails for $219 new, but you can pick up a certified refurbished model for just $134. This is Sonos' most popular and most versatile speaker. Despite its compact size, the Era 100 houses two tweeters, a mid-woofer, and three class-D digital amplifiers to produce precise, distortion-free audio even at high volumes. It has a built-in microphone for smart functionality. Because of its flexibility, it's often paired with a sound bar or a second Era speaker.

Sonos Arc Soundbar

Sonos doesn't discount its flagship Arc lineup of speakers very often, so it's a wise investment to jump on a good sale when you see one. The Sonos Arc was discontinued last year to make way for its successor, the Arc Ultra. The release of the Arc Ultra doesn't make the Arc any less of an outstanding speaker. It's a better value than picking up the Arc Ultra, currently not on sale for $1,100.

The 45" soundbar houses eleven precisely engineered internal speakers, including three tweeters and eight midwoofers each paired with Class-D amplifiers. It's capable of room filling audio by itself, but you'd still benefit from a separate subwoofer to round out the low end. Unlike the Sonos Beam, which only has virtual height channels, the Arc has two physical height channels for true Dolby Atmos support. The Arc also has a built-in microphone.

Sonos Beam (Gen 2) Soundbar

The Sonos Beam is a great option for someone who requires a more compact sound bar or simply doesn't want to spend too much money on a speaker system. It's attractively priced right now at just $299, so $100 less than the Arc. The Beam (Gen 2) is a 26-inch long, 5.0-channel soundbar with one tweeter and four mid-woofers for natural, balanced sound and four passive radiators to help with the low end. Although the Beam doesn't have physical height channels, it has two virtual height channels for Dolby Atmos support. There's also a built-in microphone for smart functionality.

Sonos Sub 3 Subwoofer

The audio savvy knows that a single speaker isn't enough to reproduce an entire soundstage. If you could pick only one other speaker to supplement your existing one, then a subwoofer would make the most meaningful impact. If you want to add ground-shaking bass to your Sonos setup, there's still nothing better than a separate standalone subwoofer. The Sub 3 boasts plenty of power in the form of dual inward-facing 5"x8" woofers and a ported design that allows for a louder and deeper low-end.

Why Sonos?

If you're looking for an easy solution to add great sound to your home, then you've probably already heard of Sonos. Sonos speakers are very easy to set up, don't take a large amount of space, and most importantly, offer distortion-free room-filling audio. They're definitely pricier than budget options, but the sound quality is comparable to speakers that cost hundreds more or take up much more space.

The Best Apple AirPods Pro 3 Earbuds Deal During Black Friday Is Back for the Holidays

The best Black Friday deal on a brand new, unopened pair of AirPods Pro 3 earbuds has returned. Amazon (and various other retailers) has once again lowered the price of the Apple AirPods Pro 3 earbuds back down to $219.99. Retail price is $249. This would make a fantastic (albeit extremely generous) gift for any iOS user, even if that person already has an older generation AirPods Pro. The upgrades are more than just incremental this time around.

AirPods Pro 3 Earbuds for $219.99

The AirPods Pro 3 launched on September 19, so it's just over 2 months old and you can already get it for over 30% off. Like its predecessor, this is easily the best earbuds for anyone who uses an iPhone. Although it looks pretty similar to the 2nd gen AirPods, there are some pretty significant improvements under the hood. The most notable new feature is the built-in heart rate sensing, but the AirPods Pro 3 improves in other subtle ways as well, including better audio quality, better noise cancelation, long battery life, and a more weatherproof IP57 shell.

Released alongside the AirPods Pro 3 was Apple's "Live Translation", which is an Apple Intelligence feature that will translate other languages on the fly. This isn't exclusive to the AirPods Pro, however, since it can also be used with the 2nd gen AirPods Pro and the AirPods 4. Initial reports are really positive, including this take from PCMag.

The Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC Starts at Just $1,850 for the Holidays

Black Friday is well behind us, but gamers looking to upgrade their gaming PC before the end of the year still have an opportunity to do so at a great price. Dell (Alienware) is offering an Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC equipped with an RTX 5080 PC starting at just $1,850. It's complemented with an Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, but since this is a customizable configuration, you can upgrade specs for an extra cost. Alienware normally commands a high price, so this is a great opportunity to stay within budget and still get performance without compromising on quality.

Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC From $1,850

This base configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. You can upgrade to 32GB of RAM for an extra $150, which is reasonable considerign the extraordinary price surge of DDR5 RAM these days. The processor is cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling and the system is run off a 1,000W 80+ Platinum rated power supply.

Alternatively, for an extra $650, you can upgrade to a more powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and double the memory and storage. That isn't very cost effective for most people, but you might want to consider getting this config if you can make use of the extra cores and you don't plan on doing any upgrades yourself in the future.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

Performance-wise, the RTX 5080 is no slouch. It's one of the fastest cards on the market, bested only by the $2,000 RTX 5090 and the discontinued $1,600 RTX 4090. This is a phenomenal card for playing the latest, most demanding games in 4K resolution at high settings and ray tracing enabled. The RTX 5080 supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, which means you can push even more frames out of games that support the technology with minimal visual compromise. Recent games that support it include Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Borderlands 4, Stellar Blade, and Battlefield 6.
