Festive portable deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear. I won't hype them as "pocket change" or "fire sale" like some sites, because that's bollocks.  December deals :  Evercade has 30% off various hardware, depending on the store, check the blog for details .  PlayStation Portal is currently £20 off on Amazon UK  (another £10 off for refurbs)  Update: Valve has jumped in with 20% off the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model (down to £279 in the UK) Update: Xbox Ally has various deals (pretty short-lived, but likely getting cut again for the post Christmas sale).  Update: PlayStation Portal has £20 off the range, bringing the white and black models down to £179, and 30th Anniversary Edition to £189. (Look out for another 5% off at checkout!)  First up is  Evercade offering a clutch of offers on hardware and games on Amazon and across other stores in Europ...

Broken Sword collection swishes onto Evercade

 Evercade's first formal new release for 2025 has been revealed as the Broken Sword collection, bringing the first pair of the well-regarded PlayStation adventure series to the retro console platform. Revolution Software's series is now up to no. 5, with a sixth on the way - and a recent remaster of the original likely to be followed by more. 

Update: The release date for Broken Sword and Indie Collection 4 have slipped from the end of February to the 10th March. Pre-orders live on 30th January.  And pre-orders are live now!

But for Evercaders, playing the originals is what we're all about, and the platform is pretty bare when it comes to classic point-and-click adventures. Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Reforged and Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror will go a long way to rectifying that problem. 


 With gorgeous animation, epic stories and tricky puzzles, they are legendary games for good reason. 

Console cartridge no. 44 (really Evercade, no F1 racing collection in honour of Lewis Hamilton?) arrives in February, so not long to wait. And its likely the rest of the series will follow, so we can pencil those into the release list.  


And there's plenty more to look forward to this year, with Evercade's wrap-up last year promising "So I don’t say this lightly –  2025 is going to be even bigger! Whether you’re a fan of Evercade or HyperMegaTech!, our focus is on providing you with even more amazing products, surprises, and memories to treasure."
