With demanding games like Control releasing more and more these days, the base consoles are starting to show their age, especially when it comes to maintaining a solid frame rate. The more powerful PS4 Pro and Xbox One X are very appealing for this very reason, and if you’ve been looking to upgrade or enter the console space at all, then Newegg has a great deal on a PS4 Pro bundle that may interest you.

PS4 Pro with Sekiro, Black Ops 4, and For Honor

$400 ($533)

See it at Newegg

This bundle is going for $400 USD down from $533. It comes with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and For Honor: Marching Fire Edition. There’s nothing to indicate when this deal will end or how much stock is left, so if you’re interested, you may want to act sooner rather than later.

Sekiro received a 9/10 in GameSpot’s review, with our own Tamoor Hussain saying, “The orchestration of intense one-on-one boss encounters that truly test your mettle, and slower-paced stealth sections that let you take on battles at your own pace, is masterful.”

Our Black Ops 4 review scored it an 8. GameSpot’s Kallie Plagge praised the smart level design and all three modes: Versus, Zombies, and Blackout. “Blackout pushes Call of Duty in an entirely new direction, making use of aspects from both multiplayer and Zombies for a take on the battle royale genre that stands on its own,” she wrote. “Sure, there isn’t a traditional single-player campaign, but with the depth and breadth of what is there, Black Ops 4 doesn’t need it.”

For Honor’s review also awarded it an 8, in which Matt Espineli praised its satisfying and layered combat and unique, fulfilling modes. Since this review, much has been added to the game as Ubisoft continues to support it. This includes new characters, maps, and much more.

Red Dead Redemption 2‘s big summer update is now live on PS4 and Xbox One. As Rockstar previously detailed, the update introduces a wealth of new content to the game’s online component, Red Dead Online, including the first Frontier Pursuits, new items, an array of quality-of-life improvements, and more.

The biggest addition are the aforementioned Frontier Pursuits–specialized roles that come with their own unique activities, skills, and unlockable items. Players have a choice of three Frontier Pursuits. The Bounty Hunter role focuses on tracking down wanted criminals; the Trader can open up a shop and sell animal pelts and meat; and the Collector specializes in searching for valuable treasures. You can read a more detailed breakdown of each Frontier Pursuit on Rockstar’s website.

As you complete your Frontier Pursuit’s unique activities, you’ll earn Role XP that will help you unlock new Role Ranks. That, in turn, will net you Role Tokens, special items, new skills, and even role-specific Free Roam events. Each Frontier Pursuit has a startup cost of 15 Gold Bars, but Rockstar has detailed a couple of ways to get each role’s starting item for free on its website.

In addition to the Frontier Pursuits, Red Dead Online’s summer update introduces a litany of new items, clothing options, horse-drawn vehicles, and horse breeds. You can now also change your character’s appearance without resetting your progress, and Rockstar has added the ability to name any saved outfits.

Rounding out the update are a wealth of bug fixes and other gameplay improvements, including increased movement and animations speeds. You read read the full patch notes for Red Dead Online’s summer update on Rockstar’s support site.

FIFA 20 is set to release on September 27 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, but before then you can get a taste of EA’s latest footballing sim with a demo that’s available now on PS4 and Xbox One.

The demo includes six playable teams: current Champions League holders Liverpool, Champions League runners-up Tottenham, German giants Borussia Dortmund, oil-rich Paris Saint Germain, Champions League record-holders Real Madrid, and transfer-banned Chelsea.

You can play regular matches between the six teams to get a feel for FIFA 20’s on-pitch action, or take them to the streets in the new FIFA Street-style Volta Football game mode.

If that’s not enough, GameSpot has you covered with details on all the new features in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team and Pro Clubs, as well as a story on how Volta factors into the law of diminishing returns.

In other football-related video game news, eFootball PES 2020 is out today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You can expect GameSpot’s review in the coming days.

If you thought the announcement of Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise was going to be the most surprising game reveal this year, think again. Unless this is a very early April Fools joke, KFC (yes, that KFC, the fast-food chicken chain) is publishing a dating sim called I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator. What even is 2019 anymore?

“From the same people who brought you the bucket of chicken, comes the world’s first Colonel Sanders dating simulator,” the game’s bizarre product description says on Steam. You play as a promising culinary student as you try to date your classmate, Colonel Sanders. Will the Kentucky fried chicken mogul choose you to be his business partner? Or maybe something much more intimate? “Throughout your journey, you’ll be faced with life-changing decisions that will affect your chances of friendship and love. But be careful! Your choices have real consequences with real animated characters’ feelings at stake.”

I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator promises to feature nine lovable characters, a secret ending, secret recipes, cooking battles, battle battles, 11 herbs and spices, a dateable Colonel Sanders, and much more. If the writing in-game is as humorous as it is in this product description then the whole thing should be genuinely funny. The art style in the trailer is actually kind of amazing, too. And there’s a dog.

I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator doesn’t have a release date yet, but KFC (how is this real?) says it’s coming soon.
