Deals deals deals! Just kidding – I interrupt your regularly scheduled Black Friday posts to bring you some delightful Apex Legends japes. Today in “what daft thing has Imogen done in a multiplayer shooter now”, I had a go at replicating a glitch that throws Apex’s new vehicles across the map.

Actually, “launch” is probably a better word to use than “throw”, because pulling off the stunt jetts you off into the sky like Gnome Chompski strapped to a rocket.

[cms-block] is over half way done for us in the UK, and as I look back over the great sea of discounted PC components I’ve scavenged over the last seven days (weeks? Years?), I have to say that the best deals have definitely been reserved for those after an ultrawide gaming monitor. That’s not to say there also hasn’t been plenty of great, if fleeting, deals on regular 16:9 monitors this year (most notably Samsung’s stupendously good Odyssey G7 and LG’s G-Sync Compatible UltraGear 27GL850-B), but the biggest and best discounts have definitely fallen in the ultrawide camp, which is great, as it’s never been a better time to dive into the wonderful world of ultrawide PC games. If you, too, want to join the ultrawide club, these are the best deals you’ll see all week.

[cms-block] is now in full swing, and there are dozens of great Black Friday gaming keyboard or mouse deals to tuck into. There are some great discounts to be had on RPS favourites like the Logitech G Pro Wireless mouse, and there’s also a new all-time low price for Razer’s Deathadder V2. There are some fabulous keyboard deals for our US readers as well, of course, where our top gaming keyboard, the Roccat Vulcan, has a tasty $50 discount for our friends in the US, as well as Logitech’s brilliant G815 Lightsync for a new low price of just £101 over in the UK. So if you’re looking for the best Black Friday mouse and keyboard deals, you’re in the right place, as we’ve gathered them all up right here below.

The number of great [cms-block] CPU deals is pretty small this year, but if you’re looking to upgrade your PC with a new Intel or AMD processor, you’re in the right place, as we’ve rounded up all the best Black Friday CPU deals happening in the UK and the US right here. Most of this year’s Black Friday CPU deals are limited to the premium end of the price spectrum, unfortunately, but if you’re looking to pick up one of Intel’s new 10th Gen Comet Lake CPUs this is still a good time to do so. I’ll be updating this article on a regular basis as more CPU deals start going live, so make sure you pop this page in your bookmarks to keep on top of the latest deals.

It’s finally the end of the week, which means it’s [cms-block] for real. Rather than kick off a sale earlier in the week like so many others, GOG are clearly taking the whole event much more seriously, dropping their big Black Friday deals today. I respect it. While they don’t have too many new games on offer, they have got a load of old favourites like Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and the Batman: Arkham Asylum series for up to 80% off.

Amazon have chopped $50 off the 2TB model of the excellent Crucial MX500 SSD in one of today’s first US Black Friday lightning deals. Not only does this beat its previous Prime Day price of $184, but it’s also the cheapest it’s ever been – and much better value than almost every other 2TB SATA deal we’ve seen so far.

The RPS treehouse has been filled with that most festive of activities: arguing. We’ve been selecting games for the RPS Advent Calendar, which means both trying to decide what games we loved most in 2020, and also trying to remember even a single game we played in 2020.

To help with both of these things, I’m asking you: what was your favourite game this year?

[cms-block] has no cultural relevance for someone who doesn’t celebrate American Thanksgiving, but I’m up for good games going cheap. Itch.io is the latest digital PC games store to launch a big Black Friday sale, and it’s the one that interests me most for all of Itch’s indie goodies. The store mostly sells DRM-free downloads, but plenty do come with keys you can slam into Steam too. I have some recommendations.
