The Humble Freedom Bundle is a great deal for an even greater cause

Add as a preferred source on Google

Since 2010, Humble Bundle has partnered with developers to sell user-friendly bundles of critically acclaimed games. The distribution platform extends beyond the games sphere, though, as each bundle can be bought to benefit charitable foundations. Normally, the minimum bundle price is just a dollar, but the system is pay-as-you-please. Users are encouraged to set a fair price, and then choose how to allocate the cost between the developers, charity, and Humble Bundle. The latest bundle, the Humble Freedom Bundle, is one of the best offerings yet and works a bit differently.

The Humble Freedom Bundle includes 39 games, from indie darlings to promising early access titles. Every game in the bundle can be unlocked on Steam, and some of the titles are digital rights management-free. Here is the full list:

  • The Witness
  • Stardew Valley
  • Subnautica (Early Access)
  • Day of the Tentacle Remastered
  • Overgrowth (Early Access)
  • Nuclear Throne
  • Octodad: Dadliest Catch
  • Invisible, Inc.
  • Super Meat Boy
  • World of Goo
  • Mushroom 11
  • No Time to Explain Remastered

  • Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition
  • The Swapper
  • Thirty Flights of Loving
  • Spirits
  • Human Resource Machine

The bundle also includes an assortment of ebooks, audiobooks, comics, and graphic novels.

The minimum payment is $30, but since each game averages out to less than a dollar and the retail price would be $600, it’s an incredible bargain. Most importantly, all proceeds go to the American Civil Liberties Union, International Rescue Committee, and MSF International. Humble Bundle will match all donations to these organizations up to $300,000. As of publication, that mark was already hit with roughly 10,000 bundles purchased.

United, we stand. Together with devs & authors, we support the @ACLU, @theIRC & @MSF with the Humble #FreedomBundle. https://t.co/NYAlU5H18N pic.twitter.com/12ocEbKiiS

Is Overcooked 2 cross-platform?
Cross-play on Overcooked 2 exists, but the answer is a bit complicated.
A map of Overcooked with enhanced graphics for the PS5 and Xbox Series X

Overcooked 2 is a great game to play with friends, provided everyone is ready for the shouting that comes with it. One person is trying to chop vegetables, another is panicking over burning rice, and someone else has probably fallen off the edge of the map with the only clean plate.

Naturally, it works best when the whole group can jump in together. But that gets a little confusing if your friends are spread across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Overcooked 2 has been released on several platforms, but cross-platform support depends heavily on which version of the game you’re playing.

As Steam Deck fires up handheld costs, Acer Nitro Blaze Link limits you to stream at just $180
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Gaming handhelds have become surprisingly expensive. Between premium models like the Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go, getting a portable gaming machine often means spending hundreds of dollars before you’ve even bought a game.

Acer’s latest idea takes a very different approach. Announced alongside a flood of new products, the Nitro Blaze Link is a handheld gaming device that doesn’t actually run games itself. Instead, it streams them from a compatible gaming laptop, turning your Predator or Nitro notebook into a personal gaming server. If that sounds familiar, that’s because the concept isn’t entirely new. Tools like Steam Link, Moonlight, and Parsec have been doing similar things for years. What Acer is betting on is convenience.

MSI’s Triple Mode OLED monitor is a Computex showstopper and my eyes genuinely can’t wait for it
MSI's Triple Mode OLED raises the bar for gaming monitors at Computex 2026.
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Dual-mode gaming monitors have been around long enough that the novelty has worn off. MSI has decided that two modes simply aren't enough and has unveiled the MPG OLED 322URDX36 ahead of Computex 2026.

It is the world's first Triple Mode gaming monitor, and if the execution is as good as it sounds, it could be one of the few gaming monitors that I’d be genuinely interested in.
