11 years after its debut, Far Cry 4 now runs at 60 frames per second (fps) on PlayStation 5.

As spotted by gael_74 and posted to the Far Cry 4 subreddit, the update history for the game states that Version 1.08 introduced "support 60 FPS on PS5 console."

So, if you've yet to play it, now would be a good time to give Far Cry 4 a try. Featuring one of the series' best antagonists, Pagan Min, Far Cry 4 plonks you into a vast and colorful open-world, the vertical landscape of the Himalayas not "just a pretty backdrop, but a playground that encourages the player to fight, hunt, and explore."

"Far Cry 4 has weak characters, but its campaign, co-op, and competitive multiplayer feature incredibly fun freedom," we wrote in IGN's "great" 8.5/10 Far Cry 4 review.

Far Cry 4 is the latest in a line of PS4-era Ubisoft games to receive a retrospective upgrade over recent years, such as Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Assassin's Creed Origins. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's left Far Cry fans in the subreddit clamoring for more of the same, hoping the 60 fps treatment will also soon be applied to other fan-favorite Far Cry titles like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 3.

The update did come a little too late for some, sadly: "You are kidding right. I just platinumed the game, like, three days ago," lamented one unlucky player.

Last month, Ubisoft created a subsidiary company based on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six brands, with a €1.16 billion (approx. $1.25 billion) investment from Chinese megacorp Tencent.

The news came after Ubisoft announced Assassin's Creed Shadows had passed the 3 million player mark. Ubisoft suffered a number of high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations in the run up to Shadows' release, and there is enormous pressure on it to succeed after the company's share price hit an historic low.

Earlier today, Ubisoft also quietly added Steam Achievements to 12-year-old Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

As the wait goes on for more Grand Theft Auto 6 news following 2023’s Trailer 1, one former Rockstar developer has said he wouldn’t release any more trailers before the game's release date.

Rockstar released GTA 6 Trailer 1 to record-breaking viewership in December 2023, but it hasn’t released a single asset since. The year-and-a-half wait for more information has fueled increasingly bizarre conspiracy theories about when Rockstar will release GTA 6 Trailer 2.

These have included counting the holes in Lucia’s cell door net, the bullet holes in the car from Trailer 1, and even registration plates. But chief among the conspiracy theories is GTA 6’s ongoing moon watch, which was, remarkably, proven to have accurately predicted the date Rockstar announced when it would release GTA 6 Trailer 1, but debunked as a hint at the release date for Trailer 2.

So the big question is, when will GTA 6 Trailer 2 be released? Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has suggested fans may have to wait until much closer to GTA 6’s actual release date, currently set for some point in the fall of 2025, for their next look at the most anticipated video game in the world.

But former Rockstar Games technical director Obbe Vermeij, who worked on the series up to 2008's Grand Theft Auto 4 before leaving the company nine months after launch, said if it were up to him he wouldn’t release any more trailers for GTA 6.

“If it was my call I wouldn’t release any additional trailers,” he tweeted. “There is more than enough hype around VI and the element of surprise is going to make the release only bigger as an event.”

Then, in response to one user who wondered whether Rockstar might announce the GTA 6 release date and nothing else, Vermeij replied: “It would be a boss move.”

Would Rockstar actually do something like that, though? By naming the first GTA 6 trailer as GTA 6 Trailer 1, the suggestion is that more numbered trailers will follow. Plans change, of course. Perhaps this one will come right down to the wire, and Rockstar would rather focus on getting GTA 6 out the door this year than on a trailer it knows will be analyzed to within an inch of its life.

Vermeij revealed that Rockstar decided to delay GTA 4 in July 2007, just three months before its original October 16, 2007 release date, and suggested "decision day" for GTA 6 will be similar.

"Only at that time did it become clear we were going to miss the deadline," Vermeij explained. "I’m guessing decision-day for VI will be similar. Fingers crossed for Take2’s August earnings report."

In an interview with Bloomberg in March, Zelnick was asked straight up: why is GTA 6’s release date such a carefully held secret?

“The anticipation for that title may be the greatest anticipation I’ve ever seen for an entertainment property," Zelnick replied. "And I’ve been around the block a few times and I’ve been in every entertainment business there is.

“We want to maintain the anticipation and the excitement. And we do have competitors who will describe their release schedule for years in advance. And we found that the better thing to do is to provide marketing materials relatively close to the release window in order to create that excitement on the one hand and balance the excitement with unmet anticipation. We don’t always get it exactly right, but that’s what we are trying to do.”

Mike York, who worked as an animator at Rockstar New England for six years helping to build Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 before leaving the company in 2017, said on his YouTube channel that Rockstar is playing up to the conspiracy theories, deliberately avoiding saying anything about the game or when Trailer 2 will be released in order to fuel even more speculation within the community.

“They're reaching and pulling and trying to come up with these really cool theories to decipher when the next trailer will be,” he said of fans.

“Specifically Rockstar, they're very secretive about what they do, and this is a really cool tactic because it creates allure and it creates mystery and it creates people talking about it without them having to do anything. The more they're silent the better it is, because the more people will be antsy and want to talk about it and have this feeling of not knowing what's going to happen.”

York went on to say that Rockstar is likely resisting pressure from its army of fans to announce the GTA 6 Trailer 2 release date for this exact reason.

“They could easily release the trailer date and be like, ‘Hey this is when the trailer's coming out,’ but they don't do it. And they don't do it on purpose because it's a really, really good marketing tactic. If you think about it, it creates these really cool theories.

“This brings the fans together. This is a really cool way to get fans to talk about your game when you’re not releasing anything yet, in-between the times.

“All these theories are great. They only create hype, they create talk, they create mystery behind the games.”

Zelnick’s quote also suggests that GTA 6 Trailer 2, assuming it exists, won’t be released until we’re closer to the game’s actual release date in fall 2025, assuming it’s not delayed. If that’s true, it may be some time before we get another look at the game.

While you wait for GTA 6 to come out, check out IGN’s coverage of an ex-Rockstar dev who says the studio probably won’t be able to decide whether GTA 6 is delayed until May 2025, Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick’s response to concern about the fate of GTA Online once GTA 6 comes out, and the expert opinion on whether the PS5 Pro will run GTA 6 at 60 frames per second.

This article contains spoilers for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 side content. It does not spoil the main story.

Thanks to its astonishing, utterly absorbing story, I found little time for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s side content. For two dozen hours I stayed true to the mission and pushed onwards towards my goal of defeating The Paintress. Not that I could see much else to do; optional regions and objectives seemed few and far between. But upon reaching the final phase of the story, in which you unlock the ability to fly around the overworld map, my assumption about side content was proven totally wrong. This world is so much bigger and more impressive than I realised.

Soar up into the clouds and you’ll find scattered floating islands, each one home to the likes of a gladiatorial arena, casino, crimson forest, or something stranger. Push beyond the boundaries of the main continent and you’ll discover hidden doors, wild platforming challenges, and elaborate mazes. And, deep below the ocean surface, there’s the hardest boss of them all. Yes, there’s what seems like an entire other game beyond the main path, much of which is designed to be Expedition 33’s endgame. Clair Obscur isn’t solely a story-focused experience, at least not for those who dare to continue.

If you’ve already spent over $400 on a brand-new Nintendo Switch 2, it’s probably worth giving its 7.9-inch screen a bit of extra protection. Amazon currently has a 2-pack of amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protectors for $8.99, a 30% drop from the usual $12.99 list price.

Good news, Sam Fisher fans: Ubisoft has confirmed it still remembers Splinter Cell exists by adding Steam Achievements to 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

While our last meaningful update about the Splinter Cell Remake came in 2022 when IGN met with Ubisoft Toronto developers to discuss their design philosophy behind the game, overnight, the developer quietly updated the achievement list for the 12-year-old Blacklist on Steam.

Ubisoft said: "Agents, we are pleased to announce that Steam Achievements are now available for Splinter Cell: Blacklist!"

The achievements will be "retroactively earned for the accomplishments already completed in your game," although for that to happen, you need to boot up the game at least once. "Once synced, the previously unlocked Ubisoft Connect achievements will be automatically unlocked on Steam," the team added.

As well as taking the time to add achievements that can be "retrospectively earned," the developer chose not to add the additional 19 online achievements available on consoles to ensure people can still 100% the game on Steam.

The stealth-action series is set to sneak back into action with a remake of the classic first game in the franchise, Splinter Cell Remake. We still don't know very much about it other than the new version will be built from the ground up using the advanced Snowdrop engine.

“20 years later, we can look back at the plot, the characters, the overall story of the game [and] make some improvements — things that might not have aged particularly well,” said creative director Chris Auty at the time. “But the core of the story, the core of the experience will remain as it was in the original game.”

Last month, Ubisoft created a subsidiary company based on its Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six brands, with a €1.16 billion (approx. $1.25 billion) investment from Chinese megacorp Tencent.

The news came after Ubisoft announced Assassin's Creed Shadows had passed the 3 million player mark. Ubisoft suffered a number of high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations in the run up to Shadows' release, and there is enormous pressure on it to succeed after the company's share price hit an historic low.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of any official announcement that the fighting game is coming to the new console.

We still don't have confirmation that the game based on Akira Toriyama's fan-favorite anime and manga series is coming to Switch 2, but a now-deleted tweet from the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, spotted by the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit, proves otherwise.

"Experience the fighting action in the latest game Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. Available on Nintendo Switch 2, featuring 3D battles and storylines that change based on your choices," the tweet said before it was taken down, confirming it had secured a 12+ rating.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero takes the legendary gameplay of the Budokai Tenkaichi series and raises it to whole new levels, boasting "an incredible number "of playable characters, each with signature abilities, transformations, and techniques.

We gave it 7/10 in the IGN Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero review, saying: "Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a final flash from the past, sometimes to a fault, but the feeling of traveling back to a simpler time when games didn’t have to be balanced or competitive to be fun is still a good one."

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders went live on April 24, with the price still fixed at $449.99 — and they went about as well as you'd expect. On the same day, Nintendo issued a warning to U.S. customers who applied for a Switch 2 pre-order from the My Nintendo Store, saying release date delivery was not guaranteed due to very high demand.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers releases on July 24, 2025, for PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Microsoft is bringing it to Game Pass day one for those subscribed to the Ultimate tier.

Players keen enough to pre-order will secure the Night & White Pack, which includes two costume sets — Night Spectre and White Spectre — as well as the Vermillion War Club axe and the Glistening Red Mercury Skill Upgrade.

Developer Leenzee Games has also confirmed Wuchang: Fallen Feathers will be available in both a standard and deluxe edition, with the latter offering four costumes — each one including five costume pieces — four weapons, and one Skill Upgrade item on top of the base game.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Deluxe Edition Extras:

• Tiger of Fortune Costume
• Draconic Resurgence Costume
• Soul Ritual Robe Costume
• Overlord’s Regalia Costume
• Watcher’s Gaze (Sword)
• Dragoncoil Lance (Spear)
• Eternal Sovereignty (Dual Blades)
• Moonlight Dragon (Sword)
• Skill Upgrade Item: the Blood of Changhong Skill.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a Soulslike action-RPG set in the land of Shu during the dark and tumultuous late Ming Dynasty. You play as a mysterious warrior afflicted by a horrific feather disease, who uncovers hidden secrets and battles supernatural enemies in an ancient empire teetering on the edge of collapse.

We enjoyed what we played of it earlier this year in our Wuchang: Fallen Feathers first hands-on preview, writing: "I only caught a small glimpse at Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, but I already feel pretty good about its chances at being more than just another soulslike to add to the ridiculously overflowing pile. The movesets are intricate and interesting, the RPG mechanics seem deep and offer a lot of freedom (even if I can’t claim to understand some of them fully), and the boss fights gave me a serious run for my money that’s rare these days. All that’s already got me pretty excited to play more."

There will “never” be another Back to the Future… anything, its screenwriter has insisted.

Speculation ramped up after the co-creators of Cobra Kai, the TV series follow-up to the Karate Kid movies, discussed a possible Back to the Future TV series.

But Bob Gale, one of the screenwriters of the Robert Zemeckis-directed Back to the Future trilogy, has insisted there is no future for the franchise.

“I don't know why they keep talking about that!” he told People. “I mean, do they think that if they say it enough times, we're going to actually do it?”

“I mean, it's like they know in every interview people say, ‘Oh Bob, when is there going to be a Back to the Future 4?’ Never. ‘When is there going to be a prequel?’ Never. ‘When is there going to be a spinoff?’ Never. It's just fine the way it is. It's not perfect, but as Bob Zemeckis used to say, ‘It's perfect enough.’ ”

Of course, this is Bob Gale talking here, and the might of Hollywood, if it was so inclined, would probably have the final say were it to greenlight a Back to the Future revival. But executive producer Steven Spielberg would need to give it a thumbs up, and according to Gale, that’s unlikely.

“If the juggernaut of corporate America or corporate international mishigas says, ‘If you don't agree to this, we're going to kill your children,’ alright, well, no, we don't want our children killed,’ ” he joked.

“But Steven Spielberg, of course, he's got to sign off on it too. And Steven, just like Steven won't allow another E.T., he totally respects the fact that we don't want any more Back to the Future. He gets it and always stood behind that. And thank you, Steven.”

Gale’s comments here are in keeping with his previous responses to questions around a potential Back to the Future revival. In February, Gale issued a harsh message for fans hoping for a Back to the Future 4: "People always say, ‘When are you going to do Back to the Future 4?' And we say, ‘F**k you.' "

The original arrived in 1985 and sees high school student Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) accidentally sent back in time by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd). It went on to become one of the most iconic sci-fi films of all time, and spawned two sequels.

Joseph Kosinski is reportedly set to direct a new Miami Vice movie for Universal, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy is on deck to write the script, based on an initial draft from Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. Gilroy has more recently been busy writing multiple episodes of the Star Wars series Andor, which was created by his brother, Tony.

Miami Vice is a hugely influential NBC police series, created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann, which ran for five seasons between 1984 and 1989. The show, which featured Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as Miami detectives Crockett and Tubbs, remains highly esteemed for reinventing the idea of what a TV series could look, feel, and sound like.

The series was previously adapted for film in 2006 by Michael Mann (Heat, Collateral), starring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell.

Further details are light at this stage, although it is apparent that Miami Vice will not be the next project the Top Gun: Maverick and Tron: Legacy director helms, following the release of Kosinski’s F1 this June.

Fortunately, this should give Kosinski plenty of time to figure out which Ferrari he needs to find.

This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 34th birthday of Super Mario Bros. 3, the pinnacle of the NES' library. My most vivid memory of this is sitting in a HOYTS movie theatre and getting my mind blown during its unveiling in the climactic tournament of The Wizard (think: a 100 min Nintendo infomercial). Two years of tortuous waiting later, I scored a copy and was forever lost to its secret pipes, warp whistles, and peerless platforming action.

Sonos doesn't discount its popular speakers very often, so it's a wise investment to jump on a good sale when you see one. Right now, Amazon and Walmart are offering one of Sonos' best speakers – the Arc soundbar – for only $599 after a hefty $300 off instant discount. This speaker appears to have been discontinued and has been replaced by the new Arc Ultra. It's currently sold out on Sonos' website and unlikely to come back except maybe in their Refurbished section.

The Legend of Zelda may be one of Nintendo's most storied and popular video game franchises, but did you also know there's a vast library of books you can check out? From a wide variety of manga to lore encyclopedias, these books make the perfect gift for the Zelda fanatic in your life. Or if you just wanted to spruce up your own bookshelf, we got you covered.

Amazon's April book sale might be over, but many of these are still available at a discount for the foreseeable future and make for great gifts.

The Legend of Zelda Manga

Penned by Akira Himekawa, the Legend of Zelda manga span almost the entire history of the games, with major manga series based on many of the mainline titles like Ocarina of Time and the Minish Cap. These are great for people new to manga wanting to dip their toes in, or die-hard fans of the games looking for deeper world building. All of these stories are available individually, but if you're a collector, you can get some of them in various collected box sets.

The 11 volume Twilight Princess Manga has its own boxed set, which includes the complete story and a poster. Additionally, the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past manga by Shotaro Ishinomori is a great quick read that's also available.

The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedias

If you're in the mood for something a little more educational, the Legend of Zelda encyclopedias are the perfect place to get a deep dive into Hyrule's lore, culture, and different races. The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia originally released in 2013 and gave fans the first officially established timeline. If you're unfamiliar, for years fans have meticulously speculated about a branching timeline that began in Ocarina of Time — one branch where adult Link defeats Ganondorf and one where he doesn't. It's a pretty interesting bit of lore that explains some of the settings in later and past games.

The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia and Art & Artifacts offer even deeper looks at the universe, and include detailed breakdowns of the different items, characters, and enemies, as well as exclusive interviews with developers.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Creating a Champion is an over 400 page companion to the 2017 game. It contains countless design artwork and concept art, a look at the history of Hyrule, and interviewers with key developers.

A gaming chair is a great way to complete your desktop setup or even enhance your console gaming experience. But there's no way around how expensive they can become. If you're on a limited budget or would rather invest in a new game or upgrade for your PC than a seat, fear not: There are plenty of great gaming chairs that won't leave you wincing at your bank balance.

I've done the testing and research to help you find the best pick for you, whether you are limited to $100 or are looking for something to support that big and tall buddy that goes through gaming chairs like levels in World of Warcraft. These are the best budget gaming chairs of 2025.

TL;DR – The Best Budget Gaming Chairs:

The best budget gaming chairs offer a strong foundation, ample padding, durable upholstery, and proper ergonomics. Once the basics are settled, features like lumbar support, adjustable armrests, and tilt are nice additions that allow you to sink in and relax in the seat whether it’s pulled up to your gaming desk or plopped in front of your gaming TV.

However, weeding through the endless duds is a pain, both for your back and your wallet. With this guide, you can cut through the chaff to get back to doing what you love the most: playing games. Don't make that Elden Ring boss wait any longer, let's dive into the best budget picks of the year.

1. Razer Iskur V2 X

Best Budget Gaming Chair Overall

The Razer Iskur V2 X is the best budget gaming chair of 2025 so far. Not only does it look the part of a much more expensive gaming chair, it offers a precise mix of comfort, support, and style to fit into virtually any gaming setup. It's built with premium quality materials and is made to last, and it offers one of the best warranties I've seen yet for an affordable gaming chair.

Our own Seth Macy reviewed the original Razer Iskur back in 2021 and quickly fell in love. The line has only gotten better since then with the refined V2 and more affordable now that we have the V2 X. At the time of writing, I have been testing both chairs for several weeks, and though the V2 offers more features and adjustability, the V2 X is impressively comfortable and supportive for its much lower entry cost of around $300.

That accessible price point gets you one of the best looking gaming chairs around, whether you choose the black fabric or gray fabric version. It features the classic snakeskin pattern on the backrest and a slim but supportive seat cushion that effectively hides the frame beneath while still keeping its slim and stealthy aesthetic. While it's clearly a gaming chair, it's hardly overstated, which allows it to work in virtually any environment.

Razer proves with this chair that you don't need to spend an arm and a leg to get a supportive seat for PC gaming. It does away with the adjustable lumbar support in favor of an integrated built-in lumbar. This could have been a mistake, but the backrest is also precisely contoured to guide you into a proper seating position without even thinking about it or needing to make adjustments. I was able to sit down and find that the integrated lumbar matched the curvature of my back right off the bat. While some adjustability would have been nice to accommodate taller users, the backrest does its job and does it well, so long as you are 5'2" to 6'2".

It also incorporates a number of small touches that make it feel particularly versatile for different kinds of play. It's able to recline between 90 and 152 degrees, so you can really lay down and stretch out if you prefer, and comes with padded 2D armrests to ensure they match the height and width of your elbows, whether you're typing at a keyboard or gaming with a controller.

Razer has also done a good job of ensuring that this chair is built to last. It comes with a metal wheelbase that, while not quite as heavy duty as the standard Iskur V2, guarantees that it should never snap and render the seat unusable. It also comes with an impressive five-year warranty, which is simply one of the best you'll find among any affordable gaming chair.

The biggest omission here is that it doesn't come with any kind of neck pillow. It's a pretty silly thing to leave out, all things considered, and I found myself wishing it had one when I wanted to lean back and relax, like the Enki X. You can purchase one separately, but when gaming chairs a fraction of the price can throw it in, there's no reason why Razer should be leaving it out for either chair.

Taken as a whole, though, the Iskur V2 X is simply a fantastic value and the best gaming chair you can find on a budget for style, support, and comfort.

2. Razer Enki X

Best Big and Tall Budget Gaming Chair

The Razer Enki X is a humble all-star. It includes nearly all of the features of its more expensive counterpart, the standard Razer Enki, which is our pick for the Best Fabric Chair in our list of the Best Gaming Chairs. Most importantly, it’s one of the most comfortable gaming chairs you can buy if you're on the larger side.

The magic of the Enki is its backrest. Razer designed the chair with a 110-degree should arch to gently guide you toward its center. The lumbar support isn’t adjustable, but if you fall within the chair's recommended height range (5’1” to 6’4”) you’ll likely find that it lands in the right place to give you all the support you need. It’s also able to recline 152 degrees, so if you need a quick catnap, it’s ready to deliver.

Best of all, it supports gamers up to 299lbs and 6'8". Its uniquely designed backrest lends it the ability support a wider than average range of potential users. You pay a bit extra for that, to be sure, but it remains a cost effective option that's decidedly more premium than many other affordable gaming chairs targeting larger users.

For its relatively modest cost, it is surprisingly premium. It’s upholstered a mix of easy-to-clean PU leather and soft fabric where it touches the skin. It looks the part of a gaming chair but offers the type of all-day comfort that bland ergonomic chairs achieve. The seat is also very plush and is the perfect blend of supportive and soft without needing a weeks-long break-in period.

The Enki X is the affordable Enki in Razer’s lineup and that does mean some sacrifices. It doesn’t come with a neck pillow, which is a pretty big knock – and a testament to how comfortable the backrest is to win this accolade. Its armrests are also only 3D instead of 4D. But it’s worth buying a neck pillow separately (Razer’s own is available separately). Even with that added purchase, the Enki X is a steal.

3. Corsair TC100 Relaxed Fabric Gaming Chair

Best Fabric Gaming Chair on a Budget

Corsair is a mainstay in the PC gaming world, and it was only a matter of time before it got into the seating space. Since then, it's released a number of different chairs, and the TC100 Relaxed is my pick for the best affordable fabric gaming chair you can find right now. It's roomy, comfortable, and adjustable, ensuring that you can game in comfort however you prefer to sit.

At right around $200, the TC100 offers more than most other gaming chairs remotely near it in price. You can tell right away with its unique look that marries the classic racing chair design with a spacious seat that accommodates different seating styles. In fact, looking at it, it's quite easy to mistake for a chair that's double its price. Corsair nailed the look and feel of a premium chair while bringing its price down to a generously affordable level.

While we have featured the TC100 in the past, the fabric version takes comfort to the next level, similar to the Respawn 110 Pro featured next in this roundup. It allows the TC100 to be more breathable and accommodating to different environments. The fabric Corsair used is soft and feels immediately comfortable – a good match for its thickly padded and spacious seat.

While bolsters certainly look cool and evoke the racing seat spirit, the fact is that they can get in the way of finding a comfortable seating position over long gaming sessions. Corsair includes them but wisely positions them far enough out that you can easily cross your feet underneath you without finding them pressing in uncomfortably into either bolster. They are also included on the backrest to tie the aesthetic together, but the same applies there; though this chair isn't designed for big and tall gamers due to its 264lb weight limit.

Corsair also brings other premium features to the price point its competitors generally don't. Its recline is significantly deeper, topping out at 160 degrees, which feels like a full lay in practice. It also comes with 2D armrests that you can adjust to match your posture and how you're gaming at the time. Both its neck and lumbar pillow are also held in place by straps to ensure that they'll stay in place once you position them and won't need to spend time getting them back in place when you're in the middle of a match and happen to lean forward.

It comes with a plastic wheelbase, which I generally don't like for long-term durability, but by limiting its maximum weight, Corsair helps to ensure that it will stand the test of time. For added peace of mind, it also comes with a two-year warranty that you can confidently draw on if needed.

Thanks to the economics of scale and Corsair's long relationships within the manufacturing industry, this chair brings features and a level of quality typically reserved for higher price points to an accessible level, and it's a win for any PC gamer on a limited budget.

4. Respawn 110 Pro

Best Budget Gaming Chair Under $300

Respawn has been one of the go-to brands for gamers looking for quality chairs on limited budgets for years. The Respawn 110 Pro is an excellent pick, and for my money, the fabric version is hard to beat around this price.

Compared to competing chairs between $200 and $300, the 110 Pro offers more choice and more comfort for the investment. You can pick it up in either leatherette or a breathable fabric, but no matter which you choose, you'll find that the cushioning is thick and comfortable. If you opt for leatherette, you'll be able to choose from six different color options, including bright red, green, and deep purple, in addition to more understated black, gray, and white options. If you prefer fabric, you're limited to gray with black accents. No matter your preference, you should be able to find a look that matches your taste.

I recommend the fabric version for anyone that prioritizes comfort. Though every iteration of this chair offers the same level of thick foam padding that lacks the usual break-in period of even more expensive chairs. The fabric version is soft and much more breathable, whereas the leatherette can build up heat and get sticky in warmer environments. The fabric remains comfortable and ready for battle throughout.

Though its adjustments are limited in keeping with its more affordable price point, you can still tailor the height and recline to meet your needs. Respawn uses an improved recline mechanism, however, that allows you to lean back a full 155 degrees, so it's ready for everything from a feet-up gaming session to a quick catnap between sessions.

This chair isn't for everybody, however. If you prefer leather, you'll be more limited in your choices due to how bold some of its designs are. Likewise, it's best suited for mid to small-sized gamers due to its slightly narrower backrest and nylon wheelbase. Respawn rates it for gamers up to 275lbs, and because its backrest bolsters are not very pronounced, you might be able to get away with this. However, if you are on the big and tall side, it might be best to look toward the big and tall option I've included on this list.

5. Dowinx LS-6657D Breathable Fabric Gaming Chair

Best Gaming Chair Under $200

The Dowinx LS-6657D doesn't need gimmicks to stand out. Instead, this is a chair all about comfort and its understated sense of style. It's trimmed in a breathable fabric, lushly padded, and accommodates different ways to sit while gaming and working at your PC.

Unlike most gaming chairs around this price, the LS-6657D isn't ostentatious in its design. It maintains a connection to the classic racing seat design while also appearing a bit more elegant and grown-up to suit a wider range of gamers. Its available colors are more muted, and its presentation is slightly more tame. So if you like the features of racing seats but aren't sold on racing stripes and high contrast colors, this might be the seat for you.

Its upholstery is about more than simple style, however. Its fabric is soft and pleasant to touch, and its ample foam cushioning is enough to completely hide the frame without making the chair look unnecessarily bulky. Just as importantly, if you game in a warmer climate or don't have AC during the summer months, you'll find that it's much more breathable than leatherette.

As usual for gaming chairs around this price point, you won't find advanced adjustments like 4D armrests and seat depth sliders, but you can recline anywhere from 90 to 135 degrees and make use of its built-in footrest when you prefer to game with a controller or relax with a movie. Its armrests feature enough padding to be comfortable and will automatically shift to ensure they remain usable as you sit back to relax.

Its seat also has a couple tricks up its sleeve. In a surprising turn, Dowinx has outfitted it with a removable gel pad to aid in cooling. While its stripes hint at bolsters, the actual seat is much more flat than a traditional racing chair. This allows you to easily cross your legs or tuck a foot under you as you sit. Its lumbar pillow is also much larger than what is typically available around this price, ensuring that you'll receive wider support as a result.

The chair is rated to support gamers up to 300lbs, though I would encourage anyone approaching this weight to exercise caution. The biggest downside of this chair is that it uses a nylon wheelbase, which isn't as durable as aluminum over time. Still, its impressive sense of style and comfort over-deliver for its modest price, making this a great pick for gamers with mid-sized budgets.

6. GTPlayer GT800A Gaming Chair

Best Gaming Chair Under $100

What to Look for in a Budget Gaming Chair

Buying affordable furniture of any kind is tricky, but, like other pieces of furniture, there are things you can look for to ensure you're getting the best value. The picks above are each top in their class, but if you'd rather go out and do some research of your own, these are the things I recommend looking for:

• Ergonomics: If there's one thing a lot of affordable gaming chairs get wrong, it's ergonomics. Look for a chair that offers support in the lower back, either through curvature or a high-quality pillow. This will ensure that your back has the support it needs and you won't get sore after a few short hours of gaming or work at your PC.
• Padding, cushioning, and armrests: Another thing to keep in mind is that manufacturers might skimp when it comes to padding at lower prices. The last thing you want is to feel the frame when you're sitting back or decide to cross one or both legs. If an affordable chair looks like it's been put on a diet because of how thin the foam is, it's probably worth avoiding. Additional pillows and cushions can help mitigate this when it comes to the backrest, but I've yet to find a chair where inadequate seat cushioning is anything less than uncomfortable. Pay special attention to the armrests as well because anything too firm that you'll be leaning on for any length of time can quickly cause discomfort and soreness that lasts well beyond your gaming session.
• Adjustments: Budget gaming chairs tend to offer fewer adjustments than higher-cost options, but that doesn't mean you should settle for something less than what meets your needs. Even a low-cost chair should allow you to adjust its height, backrests, and armrests, and have some kind of customizability for its tilt functionality.

• Upholstery (fabric, leather, and overall quality): Gaming chairs come with either fabric or leatherette upholstery. As a rule, fabric is more breathable than leather, but leather will be easier to clean. Consider your climate and preferences before style if comfort is your priority. Though it can be difficult to tell in product pictures, I also recommend reading reviews to get an overall impression of the quality of these materials, as both can degrade quickly if the manufacturer has cut costs on quality.
• A quality wheelbase: The base of its chair is its very foundation and is critically important to its long-term durability. It's also one of the most frequent things to break. Choose an aluminum wheelbase if at all possible. But if it's not, pay special attention to the chair's maximum supported weight and read reviews to get a picture of its reliability over time.
• Avoid paying extra for gimmicks: The Amazon marketplace can be difficult to stand out in, and that's doubly true in the gaming chair market. To set themselves apart from competitors, many chairs offer gimmicks like massaging pillows. Understand that at any kind of reasonable price, these additional features are likely to be ineffective and exist purely to catch your attention. While you don't need to outright avoid these, they shouldn't be a key factor in your decision-making with everything else evenly considered.

How We Pick the Best Budget Gaming Chairs

When making my selections, I always consider the chairs that I've personally used or members of our team have tested, first and foremost. Because there are so many options, it's impossible for me to test everything, so I've also done extensive research to find the very best picks, leveraging my long history of testing gaming chairs for a living to separate the good (and bad) from the great. As I do this, I pay special attention to build quality, ergonomics, pricing, and factor in both critical and user reviews.

Throughout the extensive process of testing, analysis, comparisons, and overall research, I've brought years of experience and a critical lens to every chair considered, highlighting only the best for your purchasing choice.

Budget Gaming Chair FAQs

Are gaming chairs worth it?

While the answer to this question will always be subjective, there is wisdom to the idea of investing in the place you'll be spending a large amount of your life. If you spend hours at your PC, having a comfortable and supportive chair can be a major enhancement to your quality of life. The real question is whether it's worth investing in a gaming chair versus an office or ergo chair. Each type has its benefits, but a gaming chair adds a bit flair to the experienece, which can be important if you're a streamer or have invested in the appearance of your gaming setup. Gaming chairs also brings some unique features like deep reclines, more adjustable armrests, and even footrests for kicking back with a controller. It's also possible to find gaming chairs with good ergonomics and adjustability. Ultimatley, this depends on your taste, budget, and what you're looking to get out of your chair.

Why are gaming chairs so expensive?

In general, gaming chairs are a luxury product. You don't need one, but if you're anything like me, you probably want one to take your PC setup to the next level. Because of this, the prices tend to be higher for both mid-range and premium-level chairs from major companies, but that's not all there is to it. Paying extra often gets you higher quality materials, better warranties, and more stylish designs. It can also open the door to more ergonomic adjustments, which can be very important to your long-term comfort. The law of diminishing returns is very strong in the seating market, however, so research carefully before dropping hundreds of dollars on one chair when a more affordable option might accomplish your goals for less.

Do budget gaming chairs come with a warranty?

Oftentimes, yes. Though if you're buying from a smaller brand located overseas, it's important to remember that there's a difference between listing a warranty and it actually actually supporting it. If you're unsure, purchase from marketplaces with generous return policies, read reviews, and see if you can find other people's experiences with the company. Remember, you can also email the company with any specific questions you might have and their answer, as well as how long it takes to reply, can give you an indication of whether the company will offer the kind of support you require. If you're buying from a major brand, like Razer or Corsair, you can count on a warranty of at least a year and usually more.

Left stranded, they undertake a daring adventure and learn the ways of the Force, rallying against the armies of the Sith and their fearsome leader, Darth Malak.

With maps spread across both the classic and prequel trilogies, Battlefront gives you the opportunity to relive some of the saga's most iconic moments, including defending Hoth from Vader and the Imperial Army, taking down Separatist droids on the surface of Geonosis and the climactic battle between the Rebels and the Stormtroopers in the forests of Endor.

The award-winning director Bong Joon Ho returns, and this time he brought Twilight and The Batman veteran Robert Pattinson along for the ride.

One could argue the original "Mickey" was Cedric Diggory, who Pattinson himself claims is the character he'd most like to "give a second chance at life."

In his Mickey 17 review for IGN, critic Siddhant Adlakha highlights the philosophical underpinnings of the otherwise "depressing" sci-fi comedy: "Mickey 17 is confrontational by virtue of its pessimism, transforming a mostly straightforward novel into a stark reflection of how the current political moment came to be – albeit without letting anyone (least of all, those of us at the mercy of these larger forces) off the hook for our own transgressions."
