It may be hard to believe, but it is already the end of June. This was quite an exciting month, what with Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase giving us a great look at some upcoming Xbox Series X games. Tons of those reveals are also going to be coming to Game Pass, but we’re still a ways away from most of them. Never fear, though, because Xbox isn’t slowing down the cadence of adding fresh new titles to the service for us to enjoy.

The last weekend of the month is always a little awkward as a PlayStation fan. We know what new PlayStation Plus games are coming next week, but we still have this weekend to fill before they arrive. A lot of us will be enjoying a nice, long adventure in Death Stranding 2, but those who aren’t into that style of game aren’t out of luck. I’m digging into the backlog a bit here, but for good reasons.

The first of many Steam Next Fests to be held in 2025 is here, which means there are more game demos to try out than anybody has time for. The latest iteration of the PC storefront’s event spotlighting upcoming titles with playable demos runs from February 24 through March 3, but where to start? Early standouts include the absurd Skin Deep and turn-based strategy game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown. These barely scrape the surface of what Next Fest offers.

If you’re in the market for a streaming device, you don’t have to wait for Prime Day 2025 to enjoy a discount on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K. It’s already on sale at 50% off, so you’ll only have to pay $25 instead of its original price of $50. This is a limited-time offer though, so there’s a chance it will no longer be around when Amazon’s shopping event starts on July 8. If you want to make sure that you get it for half-price, you should go ahead with the purchase right now.
