Saints Row: In this cycle of the iconic Saints Row franchise, players will dig into the energetic universe of Santo Ileso. The game offers an amazing sandbox experience with thrilling side hustles, criminal escapades, and blockbuster missions.

The game introduces a co-op mode that allows you and a friend to join forces for untethered drop-in/drop-out cooperative play. While some critics found the experience somewhat uninspired, it promises a chaotic and action-packed adventure.
Black Desert – Traveler Edition: Black Desert is a fantasy MMORPG created by Pearl Abyss. It flaunts a powerful PvE combact system, large-scale PvP siege wars, and a variety of character classes and combat styles to specialize in.
In addition to combat, players can submerge themselves in different pursuits like trading, fishing, horse training, alchemy, cooking, and gathering. The Traveler Edition includes both the base game and a selection of add-ons, allowing players to jump right into the action with extra content.

Generation Zero: Generation Zero offers an extraordinary mix of open-world exploration and first-person shooter gameplay. Set in an alternate 1980s Sweden, the game features a hostile world filled with deadly machines.
Players can choose to tackle the challenges alone or team up with friends for seamless online cooperative play. The core gameplay involves battling against these mechanical enemies using guerilla combat tactics, scavenging fallen foes for parts, and crafting equipment and ammunition.
