There are several deals happening right now on video games and gaming-related tech that are worth sharing. To start, this month’s Humble Choice drop of Steam PC games is really good. The $14.99 per month service is offering subscribers Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Price of Persia: The Lost Crown, Psychonauts 2, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, and more. You get to keep the games forever, even if you pay just for this month. I’ve tossed around getting each of these games on Steam in the past, and it’s great to get them all here for such a low price.
I’m not going to convince you to hang onto the membership any longer than you plan to, though while you have it, make sure to use it to save on digital games you were considering buying. Nintendo Switch 2 games, for example, are discounted, making Humble the place to get the cheapest prices. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is $53.99 for members, and most other full-price games are about $6 off the retail price.
Other great Verge-approved deals
- Valve told The Verge in late 2025 that it was no longer manufacturing the Valve Index wired virtual reality headset. The company is now running through the last of its stock and is marking down what’s left by 20 percent. The headset itself is $399.20, down from $499, replacement left controllers are $119.20 (was $149), and replacement tether cables are $103.20, down from $129. The headset requires a base station (also known as a lighthouse) in order to track, and those are unfortunately no longer available via Valve. You’ll have to hit up eBay or Craigslist to get one. Read our review of the 2019 headset.
- First-person looter shooter Borderlands 4 is all the way down to $19.91 for disc editions of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 title at Amazon. The price for the 2025 game is usually sitting at around $30, though this is the most affordable price to date. The latest game in the series is good at what Borderlands has always been good for: co-op multiplayer goodness. It’s still really fun to jump in with a friend to blaze through its campaign, even if the gameplay is fairly shallow. Read our review.
- Lastly, whether you already saw Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in theaters or you’ve been waiting for watch it at home, the 4K Blu-ray version is available to preorder with a small discount. Originally priced at $34.99, the set that includes a 4K Blu-ray, a standard 1080p Blu-ray, plus a digital code for the film is $29.99 at Best Buy and $29.65 at Barnes and Noble (members can save 10 percent more).
