If you're interested in cloud gaming and streaming, the Nvidia Shield TV Pro is arguably one of the best options available in 2025. It's a powerful little piece of hardware, letting you access GeForce Now along with all your favorite streaming platforms (like Netflix and Disney+). Normally a bit pricey at $200, Amazon and Best Buy are matching its lowest price ever of $170 for Cyber Monday--but since the sales end at 11:59 PM PT on December 1, you'll want to snag one soon before the limited-time offer disappears. If you like the concept of the Nvidia Shield TV Pro but want to save a few extra bucks, take a peek at its more affordable sibling--the standard Nvidia Shield TV.

Nintendo has dominated portable gaming with the Switch 2, but Sony finally offers a compelling alternative for PlayStation owners who want their games on the go. The company built an empire around the PS5 as a living room powerhouse and the PS Portal extends that experience beyond the couch and into your hands. This device streams your entire PS5 library to a beautiful 8-inch screen, and lets you play God of War or Spider-Man anywhere in your home or via cloud gaming on the move.

Amazon has announced its Prime Gaming October update, which sees it add a fresh batch of games that users can add to their libraries for free. The most noteworthy additions are probably Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition and Fallout: New Vegas. With the second season of Prime Video's surprisingly excellent Fallout TV show arriving in December, it's an ideal time to acquaint yourself with the games it's based on.

Luna, Amazon's video game cloud-streaming service, is shifting gears. While the service will still feature AAA video games like Fallout and Dead Island, the retail giant has announced new plans to "reimagine" Luna as a way for families to play casual, easier-to-learn games using their phones. And the first one of these games Amazon revealed is a courtroom comedy game featuring an AI-powered Snoop Dogg as the judge. Hmm.

Amazon's Luna cloud gaming service, now in its third year, has been a constant part of their Prime lineup, allowing Prime members to stream games at no extra cost right from their PCs or TV sets. Today, the company has announced its plans to overhaul the Luna experience, with new social features and a slew of new games coming to the service later this year.

The company is experimenting with giving Game Pass Core ($10 a month) and Game Pass Standard ($15 a month) members limited access to certain games via the cloud and PC. Xbox Insiders can begin testing this initiative today, with a version of it seemingly planned to roll out to everyone in the not too distant future. The new benefit essentially adds cloud gaming support to all games in the Core (around 50 games) and Standard (over 400 games) libraries.

The limited-edition Xbox-branded Meta Quest 3S headset offers gamers a unique experience with 128GB storage, cloud gaming access, and exclusive design features.

Shadow has launched Neo, a high-end cloud gaming machine, providing existing users a free upgrade and significant performance boosts for gaming and professional use.

The note about improved battery life with GeForce NOW is crucial; NVIDIA claims players could achieve 50% more playtime on the Steam Deck compared to native gaming.
