Welcome to the weekend. Whether you\u2019re working today, or you\u2019re off, we have a range of deals that you might be interested in. Most of these were big hits throughout the week that we\u2019re resurfacing for your perusal, though we\u2019ve packed in a few deals that popped up more recently. In terms of what to look forward to on The Verge<\/em>, this week will be Samsung\u2019s Unpacked event<\/a>. That\u2019s all happening on Wednesday, August 10th, and based on rumors, we expect to see new foldable phones and other gadgets, and plenty of preorder deals. See you then.<\/p>\n

At the Epic Games Store on PC<\/a>, you can play as much Far Cry 6<\/em> as you can fit into this weekend. The storefront is offering an extended free trial of Ubisoft\u2019s latest open-world first-person shooter. Deals on Far Cry 6<\/em> aren\u2019t too uncommon these days (though the PC version sees fewer discounts than the console versions), and yet, it\u2019s really hard to beat the current cost: $0.00. The game trial is also available to Xbox<\/a> and PlayStation<\/a> gamers. You don\u2019t need a subscription of any kind on PlayStation consoles to get access to the free trial. On Xbox, however, you\u2019ll need Xbox Live Gold (or the modern equivalent, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate).<\/p>\n

Usually, we like to provide context around deals that we promote, so that you can make an educated purchase. That\u2019s not as necessary for a freebie. It\u2019s worth noting that Far Cry 6<\/em> delivers more of the same great-feeling combat and exploration. In Diego Arguello\u2019s analysis of the game\u2019s story<\/a>, Far Cry 6<\/em> is one of the few AAA games set in Latin America, though its narrative and handling of cultural portrayals are hit or miss. If you can look past that, it might be a good use of your free time this weekend.<\/p>\n

Far Cry 6<\/em> puts you in the Cuba-inspired locale of Yara. It\u2019s the latest in Ubisoft\u2019s open-world, first-person-shooter franchise.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you plan to head on vacation this summer, or just want to lounge around the house with some books, the latest Kindle Paperwhite may be the perfect gadget to add to your repertoire. At Best Buy, this model is $45 off, costing $94.99 through Saturday night<\/a>. This is just about the lowest price that we\u2019ve seen the 2021 Kindle Paperwhite sell for.<\/p>\n

As for why this is the e-reader to buy over the previous generation, it has USB-C charging, a bigger 6.8-inch backlit display, and customizable screen color temperature. It has waterproofing in common with the last-gen Paperwhite. Read our review.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
