It’s weekend and although there are still nothing to do out there in the real world (what, am I crazy?), at least we still have video games. And today, we have some powerful cheap games, game accessories and game subscriptions.
First: Epic Games’ latest offering is the best strategy simulator Galactic Civilizations 3. It is completely free for PC; all you need is an Epic Games account and client software. Price if purchased on Steam: $ 40. Read the GameSpot Galactic Civilizations 3 review to learn more.
Here are some other offers that you won’t want to miss. As always, prices are accurate at the time of writing and are subject to change.
Amazon
Speaking of giveaways, every month Amazon offers a new batch of free PC games for Prime subscribers. At the moment, the count is at 30, which is incredible.
Then, click on the link below and scroll down (after the “withdrawal”, which is also free) for Games with Prime. The latest news can be found at the bottom and are impressive. I recommend checking out Along the Edge, Alt-Frequencies and When Ski Lifts Go Wrong.
To install and play these games, you will need the Amazon Games App, which is also available on the free gifts page.
Victsing
I recently realized that the cheap wireless mouse I am using is not suitable for gaming. On the one hand, it is a bit jerky, which can complicate games that require ultra-precise aiming. It is also light on buttons and has no programming features.
That’s why I’m switching to this Victsing mouse, which offers a multitude of modes, colors and customizations – all for just $ 15 when you click on the $ 3 discount coupon on the page. It usually sells for $ 21; this is the lowest price ever recorded.
Sony
If you are a PlayStation owner, a PlayStation Plus subscription is almost essential. CDKeys will provide a digital redemption code for half the normal price.
Please note, however, that the last time I made a purchase from this company (which has been around for years and has a 4.7-star TrustPilot rating), the code I received did not work. And I heard some anecdotal reports of similar problems, like orders being canceled almost immediately after purchase.
On the other hand, a fellow editor at CNET told me that he made four purchases from CDKeys last year and all worked without problems. Your mileage may vary.

Microsoft
In addition to Xbox Live Gold, which allows online multiplayer games, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offers access to more than 100 games for the console, your PC and even Android devices. You also receive a subscription to EA Play.
This deal is worth three months for just one dollar. And it’s available even if you’ve tested or subscribed to Game Pass in the past. I know this because I met and managed to sign up.
When this trial period expires, you will begin to be charged at the standard rate ($ 15 per month), unless you cancel.
Staples
Available in blue, red, green or black, this stylish seat has a built-in headrest, lumbar support, tilt and lock tension and a seven-year warranty. The arms can also rotate up and out of the way, which is useful if you prefer more freedom of movement during the game.
What is especially notable here is the user rating: 4.5 stars from more than 4,700 buyers. Unfortunately, this does not appear to be available in the store (although shipping is free), so you cannot try it out.
