20 solid choices for a day one purchase in the space of 60 days. Now, surely no-one has the time to play all of these games in that window?? So review the time you have available and choose wisely to ensure maximum satisfaction and value. 

A good way of managing this and the method I use can be found here. (and this has gotten my average buy price down to 55% of retail cost and it’s tracking to go even lower)

Please spend wisely as there is no need to stockpile games at full price.

For me as much as I would love to play them all I’m going to prioritise a few.  I’d like to get Metal Eden, Digimon Story Time Stranger, Pokemon Legends Z-A and Finally Arc Raiders if I can squeeze the playtime in.

I still have question marks over Dying Light the beast, Outer Worlds 2 and unfortunately Vampire the masquerade Bloodlines 2 (please prove me wrong)

However I can say Ive had very promising experiences with the Battlefield Beta, the Metal Eden Demo, The Hell is Us demo. Ghost of Yotei and Borderlands 4 are looking good fun.

We would love to know what you’re going for in the comments below!
