    A humble price increase.

    Humble’s best known for curating video game bundles that give proceeds to charities. The Ziff Davis-owned company also sells a subscription called Choice, and I’m sorry if this is the first that you’re hearing of it, because I’m here to tell you that it’s getting more expensive on July 1st, as mentioned by Wario64. It’s increasing from $11.99 per month to $14.99.

    Choice offers a new batch of PC games to subscribers every month that you can keep even if you cancel the subscription. It also grants discounts at its Humble Store, including some decent deals on digital Switch 2 games.

    It’s time to load up your cart on Steam.

    That’s because the Steam summer sale is about to begin. A bunch of games will be discounted starting at 1PM EDT/10AM PDT on June 26th, and the price cuts will last for two weeks, ending at the same time on July 10th.

    Valve debuted a trailer for the event with voiceover that sounds like an adlibbed rap about game titles and genres (not that I could do it any better), and some of the games highlighted include Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, Slay The Princess, UFO 50, and more. It should be a good time to load up on games, whether you have a desktop PC, a Steam Deck (or similar handheld), or both.
