Have you been patiently waiting for a big sale so that you could finally get your hands on that new video game. Explore some of the video games for new year because your time has come. It is as they say,

‘Good things come to those who wait.’

We will only be looking at the AAA games which are typically priced around $60. Because, other video games are affordable even without the New Year sale. It is for these AAA games that a sale is most effective.

You’ll find video games for PC, PS4, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch.

Video games for new year

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Platform(s): PC, PS4 and Xbox One

The Force is strong this year. We have a big Star Wars television show going on, The Mandalorian. In 2019, we had a video game and a movie both coming out the same year. This is the perfect way to closure after the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hit the theaters in 20th December 2019.

Death Stranding

Platform(s): PS4

This highly anticipated game from Hideo Kojima that also stars Norman Reedus is not what most people expected, but it is something. Basically you go about your weird motorbike on a post-apocalyptic America delivering supplies to isolated colonies.

The atmospheric music is best appreciated by some great quality headphones for PS4.

Madden NFL 20

Platform(s): PC, PS4 and Xbox One

The fresh new thing in this year’s Madden NFL is Face of the Franchise: QB1. It is a “personalized career campaign” where you can play the story of a character starting from a college quarterback to a NFL star. Otherwise its not much more than before. This is something that makes it one of the best video games for new year.

Super Mario Maker 2

Platform(s): Nintendo Switch

Super Mario Maker 2 is not only great because you can make a somewhat functioning calculator, but because it lets you be creative in what is a side-scrolling platformer. The sequel brings even more things to play with from the Super Mario 3D World and other resources.

NBA 2K20

Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch

The NBA 2K20 is already the best selling video game in the U.S. but you got to see what the hype is about for yourself. The best thing is that is just came out this September, and the wait to to get it is comparatively short. That is precisely why it is one of the best video games for new year.

Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Double Pack

Platform(s): Nintendo Switch

You can truly appreciate how fast time flies by when you find out that the first video games of the eighth generation of Pokemon video games are here.

Sword and Shield bring back the Pokemon Gyms, in case you missed them in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon. Also, the new open-world area is cool.

Who needs a Zacian or a Zamazenta, when you can have both.

FIFA 20

Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch

The best thing about FIFA 20 is that it feels fresh. While beating your friends on multiplayer one-on-ones never gets old, the career mode sure does feel a bit repetitive.

All this changes with a whole new emphasis on street football, or as FIFA likes to call it VOLTA(return in Portuguese) Football. Fancy names aside, it is a cool new way to play.

Congratulations for making it this far! Here is a surprise game I have sneaked into the article.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Platform(s): PS4 and Xbox One

Call of Duty is great again. The Modern Warfare reboot is the best thing that has happened to the franchise for a long time. However, it is not just a graphical overhaul, there are new features which make it a must-play for those who have already played the original Modern Warfare.

The realism feature, for instance, removes all the hud and makes for a more tactical play. For the first time in Call of Duty series, we are getting cross-platform play. So this time the stakes are high, you are not only fighting for yourself but also for the pride of your platform.

So these were some of the best video games for new year. New year is for new beginnings, a perfect time to start something new, like a video game. The experiences a video game leaves you with are sometimes so extraordinary that you can;t experience the same in another medium. That’s why I play video games, but also to be entertained of course.
