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...

Deus Ex Augments the PS5

We've had System Shock 2 as a 25th anniversary remaster. And now Deus Ex is on the way, bringing the most imaginative titles of the Pentium-era for modern gamers.

Update: Due to a poor response, Deus Ex Remastered has been delayed until it better meets fan expectations. 

Deus Ex delivered stealth options and augmentations into a market crammed with balls-out shooters, and felt like a maturing of the genre thanks to Warren Spector's deft touch and design. 

The Ion Storm classic wrote the rulebook for the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 and is something I would love to revisit (the sequels never having quite clicked for me). And there's not long to wait with a February 2026 release date. 

Or, you can play the Unreal Engine 1.0 original for like a quid on Steam! Thanks to Aspyr for the update, here's hoping for a sensible price. 


Based on the trailer, it looks like a light touch rebuild, with the original landscape maintained for that slightly bleak look, but plenty of detail going into the characters, modern lighting and controls.
