If you’ve been using a decent gaming monitor and wondering why people obsess over OLED, this is the type of discount that makes the upgrade feel justified. The Alienware AW2725DF is $499.99 for a limited time, down from $649.99 (23% off). What makes it interesting is the combo: QD-OLED, 2560×1440, 360Hz, and 0.03ms response. That mix is aimed at gamers who want both “wow” image quality and genuinely fast competitive performance, without having to pick one or the other.
This is a 26.7-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor with a WQHD (2560×1440) resolution, a 360Hz refresh rate, and a claimed 0.03ms response time. The practical benefit of OLED is instant pixel response and true contrast, so dark scenes look actually dark, highlights pop, and motion stays clean.
It also supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and you get the modern connection options you’d expect (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB). Ergonomics matter more than people admit, and this one includes height, tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustment, which is a big deal if you sit at a desk for long sessions.
Here’s the different way to think about it: this monitor is trying to be two monitors at once.
At $499.99, you’re also landing at a price that’s easier to rationalize for a centerpiece monitor. A lot of people keep their display through multiple PC upgrades, so it’s one of the few purchases that can make every game, every session, and even everyday desktop use feel better.
At $499.99, the Alienware AW2725DF is a compelling limited-time deal if you want a single monitor that covers both competitive speed and premium OLED visuals. If you mainly play slower games and do a lot of productivity work, you might prioritize resolution or screen size instead. But if your goal is “fast and gorgeous” at 1440p, this price drop is worth acting on.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
