Halloween is upon us and the big console makers are looking to bring the frights this holiday season. PlayStation has kicked off its Halloween Sale with major third-party titles like Cult of the Lamb, Dying Light 2: Stay Human, and Dead By Daylight while also including a few exclusives like Ghostwire: Tokyo. Xbox is matching with its Shocktober Sale, which features many of those third-party hits, along with 2021 GOTY contender Psychonauts 2.

Nintendo is continuing its Try Before You Buy Sale for another week, but is also offering discounts on some noteworthy third-party titles, including Alan Wake Remastered, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and Two Point Campus.

If Halloween isn't your thing and you're more into sports, basketball season is underway. That means you can find the first major sale on NBA 2K23 across all three major console makers.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
