If your adventures take you from Teyvat to Terminal 5, you’ll want this beast of a power bank riding shotgun. UGREEN has teamed up with Genshin Impact to drop a limited-edition Nexode 20000mAh power bank featuring the radiant Kinich design. It’s cool, powerful, and—thanks to the Amazon Spring Sale — cheaper than ever in both the US and UK.

I’ve looked at a lot of 5070 Ti builds lately, and it's hard not to like this new range I've found. You’re getting modern GPUs, rock-solid CPUs, and all the speed you need for 1440p gaming without getting into silly money territory.

The new GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is officially here, and somehow it's still in stock at Amazon for $979.99. That may not be a discount, but considering how new-gen GPUs tend to vanish or double in price the moment scalpers get involved, this is a small miracle. We saw stock for the UK yesterday as well, as covered by our friends at Digital Foundry, but that went fast.

Quick reflexes and brute strength will only get you so far in the brawls of Forestrike. This Devolver-published rougelike of pixel art punishment was announced last summer and has been quietly meditating in a bush somewhere ever since. But this week the developers released a demo in which you can practice the flowing dodges and sneaky turnarounds of the "Leaf" school (a style of fighting from one of five masters planned to appear in the full game). As the fighty boy of RPS, I've had a go. It's quite the satisfying little bruiser. Imagine if someone demade Sifu with retro graphics and wisdomously advised you that the brain hits harder than the hand.

Running out of space on your Steam Deck is basically a rite of passage. You start off thinking 512GB is plenty, then suddenly you’ve got five AAA games, six indies, and no room left for screenshots. Been there. That’s why I always keep a high-speed microSD card loaded up and ready to go. Undoubtedly, a microSD card is one of the most important Steam Deck accessories you can pick up during big sale events like this.

Carrying your Steam Deck without a case is a bold move. Not the good kind of bold either—the “why is my joystick clicking funny now” kind. I’ve seen enough scratched screens and mystery stick drift to know that a decent case isn’t optional. It's armor. And right now, a bunch of great ones are discounted during the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

There are two kinds of Steam Deck players. Those who plug in and panic every two hours, and those who carry a power bank and keep playing like gods. I’ve tested a lot of power banks over the past year, and. Some were great, others burnt out far too quickly. The four below are the ones I keep reaching for, are some of the best Steam Deck accessories going, and they're also currently discounted during the Amazon Spring Sale.

It’s pricier than most gaming headsets, but the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless is a belter. I know because I have one, and have given it primary ear-tickling duty for long enough that it’s got all the wear and tear you can probably see in that picture up there. Also, there’s good news on the money front: it’s currently dropping in the Amazon Spring Sale, especially in the UK, where it’s down to a very agreeable £110. That’s 42% off its RRP, and an awful lot less then it was when I got mine.

The equivalent US deal isn’t quite so enthusiastic with the price shears, though $200 to $143 is still a decent cut on a headset that’s supremely comfortable and richer than most on powerful, bassy sound output. The real reason to get one of these, mind, is its borderline sci-fi battery life. HyperX say a full charge yields 300 hours of uptime, but I’m certain mine has managed more than that. Can’t even remember the last time I charged it, really. I wanna say... Novemberrrrr?
