Black Friday 2019 deals continue to roll out as we quickly approach the shopping holiday. Steam's Black Friday sale is underway, but that doesn't mean it has the best prices; oftentimes, the best deals on PC games for Steam come from elsewhere. Case in point, digital games store Fanatical has jumped into the Black Friday fray, offering more savings on the year's hottest games, a number of which are redeemable on Steam. The Fanatical Black Friday sale continues until November 29 and offers a variety of unique deals on well-known games, including Red Dead Redemption 2 and Borderlands 3, while also showing off some of the more obscure and overlooked games from recent years.What sets Fanatical's online sale apart from others are the unique flash sales happening every 24 hours. Every day of the week-long sale will cycle in a new set of games that can be purchased at a more significant discount than usual. In addition to the flash sales, other games on sale include Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Superhot VR, NBA 2K20, and Civilization VI. Even more recent games are discounted as well; in addition to the aforementioned RDR2, The Outer Worlds can be had for less than $45.

However, you can also use our exclusive promo code, GAMESPOT11, which will give you 11% off your entire haul. (Unfortunately, you can only use one promo code at a time, so stacking multiple ones will not work. It also can't be used on pre-orders or Red Dead Redemption 2.)There are several other big games included in this sale, one of which is Borderlands 3. Released in September, the game was largely well-received, offering a pretty satisfying return to the Borderlands universe. In GameSpot's Borderlands 3 review, editor Jordan Ramée wrote, "The game's character-driven narrative acts as a satisfying finale for the loot-shooter franchise, and the new mechanics and features--especially the reworked skill trees and weapon manufacturer effects--give you plenty of agency in how you want to play through it."

Activision and Infinity Ward recently announced the first details on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's big Season 1 update, which delivers heaps of free content like maps, modes, weapons, and more. As it turns out, not all of this content will be available at launch on December 3.A disclaimer in Activision's blog post about the Season 1 content warns players that "some of this content may drop later than the Season 1 start date of December 3."Activision did not say what content will and will not be available on December 3. It's also worth noting that additional content may be added to the Season 1 lineup, Activision said.The Season 1 offering includes the "biggest free content drop in franchise history," according to Activision. Indeed, it is meaty, featuring six multiplayer maps (or more), at least three new modes, and four new Spec Ops missions.All of this content is free, but Activision is also releasing the first Battle Pass that includes new weapons and cosmetic items to unlock through gameplay or by spending real money. There will be 100 tiers in the Battle Pass, and more details on the specifics are going to be announced on December 3.In the lead-up to the launch of Modern Warfare's Season 1, Activision is offering double XP on all platforms to help players rise through the ranks.Info from Gamespot.com

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker comes to theatres next month, and it is expected to be a gargantuan success at the box office. According to Variety, early box office tracking estimates state that the sci-fi blockbuster is pacing to make between $175 million and $200 million in the US over its first weekend. That is a massive number that would give The Rise of Skywalker one of the biggest domestic openings in cinema history.For comparison, Avengers: Endgame holds the all-time record for best opening-weekend with a record-shattering $357 million in the US. If Rise of Skywalker can make $200 million during its opening frame, it would become just the eighth movie in history to do so.Of the seven movies that have made $200 million or more in the domestic opening weekend, six of them come from Disney/Marvel. The one exception is Jurassic World from Universal Pictures.The Rise of Skywalker is still weeks away from release, so these box office estimates might change. Keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest.The Rise of Skywalker wraps up decades' worth of storytelling, as it is a conclusion to the Skywalker saga that began back in 1977. The movie is expected to answer a number of lingering questions fans have about the wider lore, though some things will remain a mystery. Also of note is that Carrie Fisher, who passed away before filming started, will appear in the film by way of previously unused footage from earlier entries in the space opera series.The Rise of Skywalker is expected to be far and away the top box office-performer when it opens, but it's not the only new movie opening on December 20. Universal's Cats movie based on the Andrew Lloyd Webber Broadway show is also premiering on that day. It's a star-studded feature that should be a major box office draw as it stars a long list of big names such as Taylor Swift, James Corden, Jennifer Hudson, Judi Dench, Idris Elba, Rebel Wilson, Ian McKellen, and Jason Derulo.Biggest US Box Office Opening-Weekends Ever:Via BoxOfficeMojoAvengers: Endgame -- $357.1 millionAvengers: Infinity War -- $257.7 millionStar Wars: The Force Awakens -- $247.9 millionStar Wars: The Last Jedi -- $220 millionJurassic World -- $208.8 millionThe Avengers -- $207 millionBlack Panther -- $202 million Info from Gamespot.com

Black Friday 2019 is one of those rare moments in the year where we see major Nintendo Switch game deals. The company rarely marks its games and hardware down throughout the year, so it's a bit of a special time. While Nintendo's Black Friday page says to "check back soon for more deals," most other retailers like Target and Walmart have already given details on which games and accessories are getting major deals. Unfortunately, we likely won't see that many big deals on the Switch and Switch Lite. The only big console bundle packs in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with the older, less battery-efficient model, which is a bummer for those looking to get the latest Nintendo hardware.As expected, everything that's already been announced has now been complemented by Nintendo's Black Friday Eshop sale, which includes a huge number of digital Switch and 3DS games. This includes many of the platform's biggest games from Nintendo and other publishers, as well as a ton of terrific indie games. You'll find everything from Divinity: Original Sin II on Switch to Persona Q2 on 3DS on sale.Prior to that, Nintendo's Black Friday Eshop sale for Europe already went live and includes the expected discounts on a mix of first- and third-party games.

Also, please note that more games may be on sale as well, but the Nintendo website only confirms the above titles.

Nintendo is offering the Switch bundled with a free digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for its full price of $300. If you have a good memory, you might recall this is the exact same bundle offered during Black Friday 2018. The difference this year, however, is that an upgraded Switch model with better battery life has since been released, but this particular bundle includes the original model without that improvement.That said, if you're interested in Mario Kart and don't mind forgoing the extra battery life, this is still a solid deal. While not included in Nintendo's Black Friday game deals, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe usually goes for around $50 on Amazon and elsewhere, so you're saving a good wad of cash on this bundle. The console deal will be available at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart starting Thursday, November 28.Nintendo's Black Friday 2019 dealsSelect Nintendo Switch games -- $40 ($60)Joy-Con controllers (Gray, Neon Red and Blue) -- $60 ($80)Poke Ball Plus accessory -- $20 ($50)Nintendo Switch with free copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe -- $300More Black Friday 2019 DealsNintendo Switch Black Friday 2019 Game DealsPS4 Black Friday 2019 Game DealsXbox One Black Friday 2019 Game DealsGameStop Black Friday 2019 Game Deals DealsAmazon Black Friday 2019 DealsWalmart Black Friday 2019 DealsBest Buy Black Friday 2019 DealsTarget Black Friday 2019 DealsInfo from Gamespot.com

Death Stranding is Hideo Kojima's latest game and his debut project as an independent developer. The renowned producer has been known for his heady topics and unique gameplay systems, and Death Stranding appears to earn that reputation with an adventure that's experimental and, for some players, divisive.The best way to come to your own conclusions is to try the game for yourself. It's a PS4 exclusive for now, though a PC version will be coming next year. GameSpot's review awarded it a 9/10."It's positive without ignoring pain; in fact, it argues in both its story and its gameplay that adversity itself is what makes things worth doing and life worth living," wrote Kallie Plagge. "It's a game that requires patience, compassion, and love, and it's also one we really need right now."Best Black Friday deal on Death StrandingIf you already own a PS4 and you're looking for a good deal on Death Stranding, the best one we've seen is through Ebay, which is offering a brand-new copy of the game plus a $20 PSN gift card (email delivery) for $60, free shipping included. With that offer, you're effectively getting the game for just $40, which is by far the best discount you'll find on it this holiday season. See at Ebay A GameStop flash deal was offering the limited-edition Death Stranding PS4 Pro, which includes the game, for $300, but it's sold out. We'll be keeping an eye out in case the deal, or a similar one, comes back.

This time of year is certainly a wonderful time to be a Star Wars fan with the ongoing series The Mandalorian on Disney Plus and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker releasing in December. However, the past month also brought Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, a new action game from Titanfall and Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment. Given how recently it came out--it hit PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 15--Black Friday deals aren't exactly abundant unless you're looking to purchase a console bundle. That said, we may see more discounts on Black Friday and Cyber Monday themselves, so if a bundle isn't tempting and you're strapped for cash, it might be best to hold off for now. We've seen unadvertised deals on recent games pop up in past years.Luckily, at least for the time being, a deal has popped up on the PC version--Jedi Fallen Order can be had for $50 over at Amazon right now. The console versions remain full price at the time of this writing. We'll report back if any other deals emerge on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is one of our top 2019 holiday gift recommendations; it also earned an 8/10 in our Jedi Fallen Order review. "Fallen Order becomes perhaps the strongest conception of what playing as a Jedi Knight ought to really be like," wrote Phil Hornshaw. "It's true that Fallen Order borrows liberally from other action games, but those elements work together with Respawn's combat and environment design, and a story that finds humanity in the Force and in its characters, to hone in on what makes the world of Star Wars worthy of revisiting again and again. Even with some rough edges, Fallen Order represents one of the most compelling game additions to the Star Wars franchise in years."

The Nintendo Switch is entering Black Friday 2019 in a strong spot. Nintendo's latest console has had a number of great exclusive games, including Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Astral Chain, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Pokemon Sword and Shield. On top of that, the new Switch Lite has kept console sales strong as it tempts even current Switch owners to pony up for a second system. You'll be able to find deals on both the Switch and Switch Lite this Black Friday, as well as some accessories to round out your Nintendo Switch gaming experience. We've rounded up the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals right here, compiling Switch consoles and accessories from all of the major retailers.The official Nintendo Switch bundle is a repeat from last year, but there are several other enticing Switch bundles available at a number of retailers. This includes deals on updated Switch with better battery life and the portable-only Nintendo Switch Lite. In addition to console deals, you can also pick up Joy-Cons for an incredible price and a variety of different third-party controllers for great prices.We've covered the best Switch game deals elsewhere, but you should be aware that after staying mum on the subject for much longer than everyone else, Nintendo has finally launched its Black Friday Eshop sale on Switch (and 3DS) games. If you're picking up a system, be sure to give it a look to fill out your library.Early Black Friday sales have begun at most major retailers, and you can expect everything to be available by Friday (though there could be new deals that pop up for Cyber Monday). Some of these deals, including the only discount on the Switch Lite we've seen, are available right now. For reference, here's when each retailer's Black Friday sale officially starts.WalmartOnline: November 27 at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ETIn store: Thanksgiving Day, November 28 at 6 PM local timeBest BuyOnline: Thanksgiving Day, November 28 (unknown time)In store: Thanksgiving Day, November 28 at 5 PM local timeTargetOnline: Thanksgiving morning, November 28In store: Thanksgiving Day, November 28 at 5 PM local timeGameStopOnline: Wednesday, November 27 at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ETIn store: Thanksgiving Day, November 28 at 3 PM local timeAmazonNow until November 29 Black Friday 2019 Deals & News Black Friday 2019 Start Times, Store Hours: GameStop, Best Buy, Target, And More Black Friday 2019: Best Nintendo Switch Deals So Far Black Friday 2019: The Best PS4 Deals So Far Black Friday 2019: The Best Xbox One Deals So Far Black Friday 2019: When Does It Start, Deals To Expect, And More Black Friday 2019 Best Gaming Deals: PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, And PC Best Black Friday Nintendo Switch console dealsNintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle -- $300Nintendo Switch with digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and $25 gift coupon | $300This Switch bundle was offered in 2018, and on the surface, it's a pretty good deal. You get the Switch and an awesome game that regularly goes for around $50 these days. However, please note this isn't the updated Switch with better battery life; it's the launch model. If you love Mario Kart and aren't concerned about the longer battery life, this is a solid offer; otherwise, you may be better off just buying the newer model for the same price and waiting for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to go on sale. We're highlighting GameStop's bundle here because you'll get a $25 gift coupon with your purchase when buying on Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday. Other major retailers will have this bundle, too. Best Buy is throwing in a free screen protector.Upcoming deal See at Best Buy Nintendo Switch (new model) -- $250 Nintendo Switch (new model) | $250 ($300)If you're looking to buy a Nintendo Switch, this deal might be your best bet. Rakuten is knocking $50 off the price of the new model Switch starting Thanksgiving Day.Upcoming deal See at Rakuten Nintendo Switch Kohl's bundle -- $300Nintendo Switch (new model) with carrying case and charging dock with $90 Kohl's Cash | $320 ($345)If you're not eager to grab Nintendo's official bundle, we know Kohl's will have its own bundle that does, in fact, feature the updated Switch with better battery life. For $320, you'll get the Switch, a carrying case ($20 value), and the popular PowerA Joy-Con Charging Dock ($25 value). The real draw here is that you'll get $90 Kohl's Cash to spend in the weeks following Black Friday.Upcoming deal Nintendo Switch Lite -- $175Nintendo Switch Lite | $175 ($200)Nintendo Switch Lite deals will be rare this Black Friday. But Google Shopping has a good one, and it's available right now. Use promo code NOVSAVE19 to get a yellow, gray, or turquoise Nintendo Switch Lite for $175, a full $25 off of the retail price. There's a good chance this deal will sell out quickly, so make sure to snag one before it's gone.Available now See at Google Shopping Nintendo Switch Lite with Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield -- $230Nintendo Switch Lite with Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield | $230 ($260)Ebay is bundling the Switch Lite with either Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield for $230. You're saving $30 overall, which makes this the best Switch Lite value right now. You can choose between the gray, yellow, and turquoise Switch Lite models. See Switch Lite with Pokemon Shield at Ebay See Switch Lite with Pokemon Sword at Ebay Nintendo Switch Lite with $25 gift coupon -- $200 Nintendo Switch Lite with $25 gift coupon | $200GameStop will also have a Switch Lite promotion on Saturday, November 30 and Sunday, December 1.

The $296 bundle includes the updated Switch with better battery life, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, and a 12-month family membership for Nintendo Switch Online. Even though Crash Team Racing certainly pales in comparison to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, this bundle is better because it has the new Switch model and a $35 subscription to Switch Online.Available now See at Google Shopping Nintendo Switch + Spyro Reignited Trilogy -- $300Nintendo Switch (new model) with Spyro Reignited Trilogy | $300 ($340)Walmart has a decent Nintendo Switch bundle available right now. You get the upgraded Switch model with better battery life for its regular retail price of $300, but Walmart will throw in Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which normally goes for $40. It's worth noting that Spyro Reignited Trilogy will be discounted to $25 this Black Friday. Still, if the Google Shopping Switch bundle is sold out, this is a reasonable option. See at Walmart Best Black Friday Nintendo Switch accessory dealsNintendo Switch Joy-Con -- $53.60Nintendo Switch Joy-Con (L/R) Neon Red/Blue or Gray | $53.60 ($80)An extra pair of Joy-Con controllers normally sets you back $80, and even though you get "two" controllers, that's still pricey. Thankfully, Switch Joy-Cons will be on sale for $53.60 at Amazon, besting Best Buy and Target's $60 price during Black Friday. It seems you'll be able to choose between neon red/blue or gray.Upcoming deal See at Amazon PowerA wired Switch controllers -- $15PowerA wired controllers | $15 ($25)Like Joy-Cons, Switch Pro controllers are expensive, but there are some reasonable third-party options like PowerA's lineup of wired controllers. Using the same layout as the Pro controller but with a slightly smaller form factor, PowerA's wired controllers are pretty darn good and come in three awesome designs: Zelda, Mario, and a Pikachu-yellow Pokemon theme. All three will be discounted to $15 during Best Buy's Black Friday sale.Upcoming deal See Zelda-themed controller See Pokemon-themed controller See Mario-themed controller PowerA wireless Switch controllers -- $25PowerA Enhanced Wireless Nintendo Switch controllers | $29 ($45)These PowerA Enhanced wireless Nintendo Switch controllers are good alternatives to Nintendo's official Pro Controller. They don't support features like HD Rumble or NFC Amiibo scanning, but they do have two buttons on the back that can be mapped to a face button. This lets you keep your thumbs on the sticks while you're in the middle of the action.Upcoming deal See at Walmart Poke Ball Plus -- $20Poke Ball Plus | $20 ($50)While the Poke Ball Plus initially launched as an alternative controller for Pokemon: Let's Go, it will also be compatible with Pokemon Sword and Shield, allowing you to "hold" one of your Pokemon and take it with you on the go (presumably to rack up experience points or earn extra items). However, it won't function as a controller for Pokemon Sword and Shield the same way it did for Pokemon: Let's Go. The Poke Ball Plus also comes with Mew, a mythical Pokemon that can be transferred into Pokemon: Let's Go. The accessory is normally $50, but most major retailers will have it for $20 during Black Friday.Upcoming deal See at Amazon Nintendo Switch starter kit -- $15Nintendo Switch Elite Edition Starter Kit | $15 ($25)If you're buying a Nintendo Switch this holiday season, you should be in the market for a case, too. This starter kit comes with a carrying case, USB-C cable, silicone Joy-Con covers, and a microfiber cleaning cloth. It'll be discounted to $15 at Best Buy.Upcoming deal See at Best Buy Insignia Power Pack -- $12.50Insignia Power Pack for Switch/Switch Lite | $12.50 ($25)For those who like traveling with their Switch (and who doesn't?), a car charger is a great accessory to have. This Insignia pack comes with a car charger, a USB-C cable, and an extra AC adapter. Having a second AC adapter is handy, as you won't have to unplug your AC adapter from your dock every time you want to take your Switch on a trip.Available now See at Best Buy Mario or Luigi Fight Pad -- $15Mario or Luigi Wired Fight Pad Pro | $15 ($25)These GameCube-style fight pads will be on sale for $10 off at GameStop. If you play a lot of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, these will be of particular interest. They are wired, so they only work in docked mode.Upcoming deal See at GameStop GameCube wireless controller -- $35GameCube wireless controller | $35 ($50)If you want a wireless GameCube-style controller, GameStop will have purple, gold, and silver ones discounted from $50 to $35 during its Black Friday sale.Upcoming deal See at GameStop SanDisk 128GB microSDXC -- $15SanDisk 128GB microSDXC | $15 ($30)The Nintendo Switch has 32GB of internal storage, but it's easy to fill that space up quickly after downloading games from the Eshop.

No Man's Sky has another huge update coming on November 28, and it'll add numerous features and improvements to the space exploration game. Update 2.2, which is called Synthesis, is geared towards tackling some of the game's potentially more frustrating elements, increasing storage, and making a few actions easier to perform. This update will be available for the PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One versions of the game.Announcing The Synthesis Update!* Ship salvaging* First person exocraft* Multiple weapons* Ship upgrading* VR improvements* Tri base building parts* Backpack refiner* plus nearly 300 tweaks and changes for this game we love so much â¤ï¸https://t.co/QfFR1FC6U5 — Sean Murray (@NoMansSky) November 27, 2019The first major change is the new Starship Outfitting Terminals you can find at Space Stations, which will allow you to add inventory slots to your ship or upgrade its class with your nanites, so you can improve your favorite ship. You can also salvage ships for scrap here if you have an older model to offload. The terrain editing system has also been improved with better visual effects and new restore and flatten modes, which will give you more control over how you shape the planets you land on. If you made terrain edits within a base, they'll now be protected from regeneration, too.Other major changes include the ability to save custom outfits and allowing everyone to control the Exocraft through a first person camera, not just VR players. Speaking of VR, this update has unified features between versions, so you can now use photo mode and ride creatures when playing the game with a virtual reality headset on. Elsewhere, storage containers have been expanded so that you can store much more in them and give them custom names. A new object has been added--the personal refiner, which lets you refine materials without needing a portable model. You will also be able to carry multiple Multi-Tool weapons and switch between them.There are close to 300 changes made in total, including numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. We revisited No Man's Sky after the Beyond update for a new review, and found that the game is in very good shape now. Reviewer Justin Clark wrote that "the drastic improvements made to No Man’s Sky in its Beyond expansion are the new gold standard for how to gracefully cope with a game’s flaws post-release."Info from Gamespot.com

The Interactive Games & Entertainment Association (IGEA) has released a major new report that shines a light on a number of key statistics about the local Australian video game industry. In short, the local game scene is growing, but is still makes up only a minuscule proportion of global games revenue.In terms of revenue, the Australian game development industry generated $143.5 million during the 2018-2019 financial year, according to the report. This is up 21 percent from 2017, which is when the last study was undertaken. Another positive for the local game development scene is that 71 percent of surveyed studios said they experienced growth, while 35 percent said they were anticipating this growth to accelerate to "significant growth" for the next year.The money made by Australian game studios largely came from overseas markets, with 83 percent of total revenue from Australian games coming from outside the country. Australian game developers are also increasingly looking to target markets in Asia, with 65 percent of survey respondents saying they were developing for Asian markets (compared to 37 percent in 2017).The total number of people working full-time on game development in Australia was 1,275 during the financial year, which is up by 37 percent from the latest survey. Programmers (34 percent) led the way in terms of discipline. The future seems bright for future growth, too, as IGEA's study said 61 percent of surveyed studios said they expect to hire more people in the coming year, which is up from 53 percent the last time the survey was conducted.The survey also found that the Australian game development industry, like others around the world, is dominated by men. Only 21 percent of respondents identified as female (which is up from 18 percent in 2017). In terms of geographic breakdown, Melbourne had the most studios, followed by Brisbane and then Sydney.Some of Australia's best-known video game developers include Big Ant (AO Tennis), Hipster Whale (Crossy Road), Firemonkeys (Need for Speed), and Halfbrick (Fruit Ninja). All of the major global publishers, including Electronic Arts, Activision, Ubisoft, and 2K, have offices in Australia. Some of the popular indie games to come out of Australia have included titles like Hollow Knight (Team Cherry) and Armello (League of Geeks). IGEA CEO Ron Curry said the success of the Australian game development scene in the 2018-2019 fiscal year was especially notable because it comes largely without government support from tax credits and other programs. "The survey shows that the Australian game development industry continues to grow and succeed despite a lack of policies to support our industry that makes it harder to develop games in Australia than in almost any other advanced economy," Curry said. "Games are not only important for their contribution to the nation's economy and screen sector, they are also interwoven into the fabric of Australian culture, with two-thirds of all Australians playing video games."Curry pointed out that the Australian games scene has a lot of room to grow. He pointed out that Canada just recently announced that its local game development scene employs 48,000 people and generated $4 billion for the latest period. That's 20X bigger than Australia. The gap is even bigger for the United States, where video game revenue amounted to $43 billion in 2018."While 83% of the income generated by Australian developers already comes from overseas sources, we're still only capturing 0.05% of the global games market," Curry said, referencing the reported $153 billion in global revenue that gaming brings in each year.Survey respondents said a lack of government funding and a difficulty in securing funding from investors were some of the main challenges they faced in the last year. Developers also said internet speeds continue to be a problem in Australia."The Australian game development industry is also rebuilding, with 55% of studios less than five years old," the report goes on to say. "Given the challenges that local studios are facing with little to no start-up or expansion support from government, coupled with multinational studios looking to Australia as an option for investment, IGEA encourages State and Federal Governments to consider boosting investment and recognition of the sector to spur even greater opportunities."You can read the full IGEA report here [PDF].

Black Friday 2019 looks to have tons of the year's biggest games on sale, and FIFA 20 is definitely seeing its share of discounts. If you're willing to wait less than a week to hop into the latest soccer sim from EA Sports, you can get it for more than 50% off on PS4 or Xbox One. During Black Friday, you'll be able to grab a copy of EA's soccer (or football, if you live outside the United States) game for just $27 at Walmart.FIFA 20 -- $27 ($60) See at Walmart (PS4) See at Walmart (Xbox One) The sale price only applies to the PS4 and Xbox One versions of FIFA 20. We haven't seen the Switch version, dubbed FIFA 20 Legacy Edition, in any Black Friday ad thus far. But to be perfectly honest, the Switch version of FIFA 20 is missing a bunch of features and should probably be avoided anyway. Walmart's price will be available for online shoppers starting November 27 at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET and in stores on Thanksgiving and Black Friday.On the PC side, EA's official Origin Black Friday sale has begun, and there you'll find FIFA 20 for $30 (along with deals on a variety of other PC games, including some not published by EA).You can check out additional offers on FIFA 20 if you'd prefer to shop elsewhere, and it's always possible that Amazon will swoop in to price match the low prices. But don't expect to find it any cheaper. In our 8/10 FIFA 20 review, Oscar Dayus praised the improvements to Ultimate Team, marveled at the realistic graphics, and came away impressed with how the Volta street soccer mode added to the variety of the overall package.FIFA 20 Black Friday DealsPS4$27 -- Walmart$28 -- Best Buy$28 -- GameStop$30 -- TargetXbox One$27 -- Walmart$27 -- GameStop$30 -- TargetPC$30 -- Origin Black Friday 2019 Deals & News Black Friday 2019 Start Times, Store Hours: GameStop, Best Buy, Target, And More Black Friday 2019: Best Nintendo Switch Deals So Far Black Friday 2019: The Best PS4 Deals So Far Black Friday 2019: The Best Xbox One Deals So Far Black Friday 2019: When Does It Start, Deals To Expect, And More Black Friday 2019 Best Gaming Deals: PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, And PC More Black Friday 2019 DealsNintendo Switch Black Friday 2019 Game DealsPS4 Black Friday 2019 Game DealsXbox One Black Friday 2019 Game DealsGameStop Black Friday 2019 Game Deals DealsAmazon Black Friday 2019 DealsWalmart Black Friday 2019 DealsBest Buy Black Friday 2019 DealsTarget Black Friday 2019 DealsInfo from Gamespot.com

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is about to begin its first proper season, with a huge drop of free content beginning on December 3. While not every map and mode promised will drop at the same time, it's a significant date for Infinity Ward's reboot of their popular Call of Duty sub-series. To celebrate, from now until December 2 you can earn double XP in all of Modern Warfare's online modes. This gives you a good chance to hit Officer Ranks before the first season reset on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.This news comes via the Activision Blog, which also delves further into what the beginning of the new season will mean for players. Once Season 1 begins, your Officer Rank (if you've gotten that far) will be locked, and you'll earn your ribbons for that rank. Everyone will be on a new journey to Rank 155 during the season, as will be the case in subsequent seasons as well. Enlisted Ranks, Mission progress, Blueprint weapons, and your Combat Record will carry over between seasons. The game will also receive its first Battle Pass in December, so it's going to be a big month for the game.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare received a 7/10 in our review, and has been a huge sales performer for Activision. If you haven't jumped into the latest Call of Duty yet, be sure to check out our guide for the best Modern Warfare Black Friday deals--the game will be discounted over Thanksgiving.Info from Gamespot.com
