My picks
- For $8: Warhammer Survivors, or free if you have Game Pass.
- For family game night: Sonic Pico Park, or Shrek 2 Remastered if your kids love Shrek.
- On Switch 2: try the Pikmin 4 demo before paying for the upgrade.
- Before GTA VI: check you have the space. My preload guide has the details.
