Humble Bundle’s Winter Sale kicks off today
Here’s your PSA to remind you that the Humble Bundle Winter Sale has started, knocking up to 90 percent off a variety of titles until February 7th.

Apex Legends Spellbound event kicks of the year with a little bit of magic
Apex Legends players are set to have a magical start to their year, as the Spellbound Collection event is bringing back the Control limited time mode, as well as a full gambit of new cosmetics to unlock.
The Spellbound collection event will be launching across all platforms on January 10 and ends on January 24. Alongside all of the magic-themed skins and the return of control, private matches are also on the way, which is sure to be a big deal for influencers and tournament organisers.
With the cosmetics, there are 24 Spellbound skins available for a limited time, for both weapons and certain characters including Mad Maggie, Mirage, Seer and more. To get these, you can either buy them directly from the store, or get them from limited time Spellbound packs while the event is live.
Meta’s New Year Kicks Off With Over $410 Million in Fresh EU Privacy Fines
