24 Games Coming In March We Can't Wait To Check Out
Peak release season for the first half of 2025 is officially upon us. The February flood picks up into a tidal wave in March with dozens of new games both big and small to check out, as well as tons more that will blow up or be discovered in the weeks ahead. Assassin's Creed Shadows is the big tentpole blockbuster this month, but there's plenty more I can't wait to check out on either side of the recently delayed open-world RPG's release.
2024 lowkey surivival horror hit Sorry We're Closed finally makes the jump to console this month, while Dungeons of Hinterberg, last year's Game Pass mashup of Zelda and Persona, finally hits PlayStation 5 in March with some bonus features. I'm also really looking forward to strategy city builder Cataclismo coming out of Early Access with its 1.0 launch on Steam. It was one of the best things I played last year. Here are 24 other game releases and platform ports we can't wait to check out this month.

This 5.1 speaker system transformed my PC gaming setup, and it's a steal at $240 off
If there's one obvious thing your speaker setup needs to nail, it's sound quality. Thankfully, the SteelSeries Arena 9 surround sound system ticks plenty of boxes. This 5.1 setup comes with surround sound speakers, SteelSeries GG for all the customization a user could ask for and some slick RGB lighting to boot. It's a whole soundscape in a box, and after 8 months of using them for all my gaming, movie marathons and music, it's easy to recommend. So, why get these over one of the best gaming headsets? Well, if you don't have neighbours to annoy, it's hard to beat feeling completely enveloped while playing intense, narrative-driven titles or high-stakes multiplayer matches without having your ears covered. Still, its price is a tall order. Fortunately, it's just got a major price cut, as the SteelSeries Arena 9 speakers are now over $240 off at Amazon. At this price, and to really give your PC an audio upgrade, this is a steal. Boasting an immersive 5.1 surround sound setup complete with a powerful subwoofer, finely tuned woofers and tweeters for front and rear audio, along with reactive RGB lighting, the SteelSeries Arena 9 take audio in the games, movies and music you play up a notch — whether that's on PC, Mac or PS5. If you're looking to leave gaming headsets at the door and unleash the full sound of the headbanging soundtrack of Doom: The Dark Ages while ripping your way through demons, or want to feel like sitting in a warm tavern, enjoying a game of cards with friends in Hearthstone, then the SteelSeries Arena 9 are up to the task. I've always tended to reach for a headset if I want to hear an enemy's footsteps in, say, Valorant or Call of Duty: Warzone, but now I needn't do so because the sound on the Arena 9 offers a truly cinematic 3D soundstage. Gaming aside, while some had remarked that 5.1 upscaling wasn't great at launch, I found it to be a great way to listen to my eclectic music collection, both through USB (Windows) or via Bluetooth (Mac). The chiptune-esque synths and djenty guitar chugs of Sleep Token's album ''Even In Arcadia'' sound great, with the right amount of bass hitting from the floor-based sub-woofer and everything folding in nicely from the desktop speakers. Beyond sound, the Arena 9s also offer a few touches that make adjusting sound a breeze. Whether it's to switch connection type or just hit mute when I need to make a phone call, the puck-like remote is handy to have. Plus, the control pad offers a whole host of EQ options and customization. Oh, and who needs smart lighting when the speakers come with their own? Thankfully, SteelSeries GG's settings for tweaking the lighting on your speakers are, quite frankly, very impressive. You can have them cycle through colors, set solid hues for each independently, and much, much more (don't expect the longer speaker to light-up though). Be wary, though, as the rear speakers can feel as though they're communicating with spirits from time to time. From a subtle scratchy, static noise to just sounding as though they've been dunked underwater, I've heard some strange sounds on occasion, but it's not a dealbreaker in the slightest. In any case, If you want to be able to jump scare yourself by making a horror game antagonist sound as if they're right behind you, or want to upscale your music, the 5.1 SteelSeries Arena 9 can help. Now with a $240 discount? That's not a bad deal to make your games sing.

Internet swoons over woman's ‘rom-com' story where she traveled 6,000 miles for a second date
A vacation fling turned romance novel. Meeting someone in the wild that you have a romantic connection with is so challenging these days that one infatuated woman traveled 6,000 miles to see a guy for a second date, according to Jam Press. A woman named Grace Kelly was hanging out at a hotel bar in Taiwan, where she was on vacation, when she met a potential suitor, who owned a restaurant in the East Asia country, with whom she hit it off. Advertisement 3 Grace Kelly never expected to meet the love of her life while on vacation. Jam Press/@graces__adventures 'That first night, we were enjoying each other's company so much that we decided to stay up all night and make the most of the few hours we had,' Kelly told What's The Jam. 'We were literally talking about our ideal futures and living on a farm in Scotland with dogs and chickens, and goats within hours of meeting.' Advertisement The duo's night sounded like one right out of a rom-com movie: 'The hotel bar was closing, so he suggested we go to his restaurant at midnight to make pasta from scratch…' Any vacation fling is fun — especially when you think you'll never see the person again. 3 The 34-year-old traveled far to see this lucky guy for a second time. Jam Press/@graces__adventures But in this case, when Kelly eventually flew back home — and he stayed in Taiwan for work — she and he kept in touch and 'spoke constantly for three weeks on different time zones' Advertisement The couple couldn't stand to be a part much longer, so Kelly booked herself a flight back to Taiwan and traveled the 6,000-mile trek to see the special lad again. 'I was so nervous going out there, but I'd arranged my own hotel just in case things didn't go to plan,' she told the outlet. 'But as soon as I arrived there, he'd arranged for flowers to be waiting in my hotel room, and he swooped me up as soon as the hotel elevator doors opened.' After their time together in Taiwan, the lucky guy visited Kelly in the UK — and the two eventually met each other's families. Advertisement 3 This love story sounds like it's the plot of a rom-com movie. Jam Press/@graces__adventures 'We both rarely meet anyone who we click with this much and whose lifestyle matches each other so well,' she said. 'He's so refreshing, insanely skilled and definitely the most intelligent man I've ever met, but also really funny and down to earth.' Kelly shared her love story on social media — and the internet couldn't get enough of it. 'This looks like it was taken right out of a romcom – love love love it,' one commenter wrote. 'I LOVE this,' another comment read. 'Ahhhh, how exciting!' wrote someone else. Advertisement The most touching part of this story is that although these long-lost lovers met in a completely different country, it turned out that they both grew up in the UK, living only an hour apart from each other. Talk about the universe working in mysterious ways.

Microsoft offers a glimpse at the future of Xbox gaming alongside AMD and Windows
Microsoft has confirmed that a next-generation Xbox console is currently in development in partnership with chipmaker AMD. The announcement was made by Xbox president Sarah Bond in a short video posted to YouTube (and also on the Xbox account on X). In the video, Bon promised that Microsoft would deliver "an Xbox experience not locked to a single store or tied to one device." The short teaser provides a glimpse of the future of Xbox gaming beyond just consoles. As the company has promised in recent months, the goal is that "anything" can be an Xbox. To start, Bond stated that Microsoft and AMD are collaborating in a "strategic multi-year partnership" that involves the two companies developing a silicon for use "across a portfolio of devices — including our next-generation Xbox consoles in your living room and in your hands." The companies will also work on improving Xbox Cloud Gaming. Of course, the thrust of Xbox going forward is that the Xbox platform itself won't be tied to consoles like the Xbox Series X or the Xbox Series S. "This is all about building you a gaming platform that's always with you, so you can play the games you want across devices anywhere you want," Bond says in the video. "Delivering you an Xbox experience not locked to a single store or tied to one device." She added that the Xbox team will be working closely with the Windows team to make sure that "Windows is the number one platform for gaming." Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. This all comes a little more than week after the announcement of two Asus ROG Xbox Ally handheld devices that are supposed to launch later this year. Those handhelds are going to feature a custom full-screen Xbox experience including a streamlined version of Windows 11. The new Xbox experience will run on top of Windows but will also allow you to access other gaming stores like Steam or Epic. What we gather from Bond's announcement is that future consoles will have similar access to non-Xbox store fronts. It seems that Microsoft finally realized that Windows just wasn't working for the best handheld gaming consoles. of course though, the software giant still wants Windows to power these devices including those made by Microsoft and third-party manufacturers. For those worried about their game library, it sounds like Xbox will continue to offer backwards compatibility. The next consoles will be 'maintaining compatibility with your existing library of Xbox games," Bond says. The Xbox Asus handhelds likely won't run any Xbox games that don't already have PC ports, but the next generation of consoles should run older games.
