Best Gaming Consoles

PS5

This year’s top-of-the-line PlayStation console is the PS5, which supports up to 8K Output and brings new realism to games with individually simulated rays of light. If you’re not ready to shell out $499 for these features, consider its predecessor, the PlayStation 4 Pro (currently selling for $399.99 on Amazon). It still offers incredible 4K graphics to bring more clarity to games like Call of Duty: WWII. PS5 release date: Nov. 12, 2020.

Best Video Games 2020

DOOM Eternal

This game is not for the faint of heart. In this direct sequel to the award-winning DOOM, you resume your role as a DOOM Slayer to battle against demons—both new and old—with flamethrowers, retractable blades, and upgraded guns. Take what you need from enemies and gain faster speeds with features like Double Dash.

PC Gaming Gifts

Lenovo Y545

Named one of the Best Gaming Laptops of the Year by Laptop Mag, Lenovo's entry-level gaming laptop clocks in around $1,200. And that's a pretty good price for such a powerful machine. You'll get supercharged NVIDIA GeForce graphics, a lightning-fast Intel 9th generation processor, and a 15.6" display.

Xbox Series X

Microsoft's Xbox Series X is the most powerful gaming console ever made, and it has the price to match ($499, to be exact). If you don't have a 4K UHD TV or have plans to get one in the near future, it is probably not worth it to splash out on the Xbox Series X or Xbox One X, so opt for the the Xbox One S instead or consider buying one refurbished with a store protection plan ($389.99 at Walmart). Xbox Series X release date: Nov. 10, 2020.

Borderlands 3

One of the original shooter-looter games—and definitely the most unhinged—was released late last year! This newest installment has four new Vault Hunters, each with unique playing styles, skills, and options to personalize, that will lead you on a chaos-filled adventure looking for hidden treasure and stopping bandits from joining forces and finding the galaxy's ultimate power.

HYPERX CLOUD MIX HEADSET

HyperX's Cloud Mix gaming headset got our stamp of approval because of its all-around versatility. For gaming, the sleek set offers crystal-clear audio reproduction in a comfortable foam-padded design. And you can ditch the boom mic and braided cable to use the headphones wirelessly in your everyday life.

PS4 Slim

You will find the absolute cheapest PlayStation 4s on resale sites like eBay, but most of the time those systems will be used or refurbished. It's up to you if that's what you'd like to buy. To get all the warranty, Groupon Coupons recommends buying new. We found a brand-new one with damaged packaging on eBay for $249.69. Kohl's is another place to look for a low price.

Death Stranding

In this all new open-world action game, players will have to traverse a post-apocalyptic Earth to reconnect all of the cities that have been isolated because of mysterious explosions. You can join together with other players to "bridge the divides" in society all while fighting against spectral creatures and the mass extinction of humans. 

Gunner Optiks Glasses

We've all felt the effects of sitting in front of a computer for too long. It's uncomfortable and slows down reaction time. Plus long periods of staring at screens is known to lead to trouble sleeping, cataracts, and even retina damage. Gunnar Optiks gaming glasses block up to 65% of harmful blue light, reducing fatigue and improving game performance.
