Tunic and 400 other games can be yours for just $10 thanks to a charity Itch.io bundle
Developer Necrosoft Games has assembled another huge bundle of games on Itch.io to support a good cause. It includes more than 400 games that can be yours if you pony up at least $10 to support wildfire relief efforts in Southern California.
Tunic, one of our favorite games of 2022, is arguably the highest-profile game in the California Fire Relief Bundle. Buying this beautiful, Zelda-esque adventure on Steam right now would cost you $30. That alone makes the bundle great value, though it includes over $3,200 worth of games.
There are a few other particularly notable games on the list. You may have heard of restaurant sim Cook, Serve, Delicious! 2!!, the fairly self-explanatory SkateBird or the utterly ridiculous Octodad: Dadliest Catch. There's also Hidden Folks, a charming puzzle title that we reckon is a great way to help you destress. Hundreds of other lesser-known games await your curiosity too. For instance, there's a pretty puzzle-platformer called Hoa that I've been meaning to get around to.
Along with video games, there are physical table-top roleplaying games (including a Bugsnax card game you can print and play), asset packs, books, comics and other projects in the bundle. You'll find a few Playdate games in there as well. Note that there are no Steam keys available through this bundle, but it's not too complicated to set up an Itch.io launcher on Steam Deck.
Organizers are aiming to raise $100,000 for CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort). The Los Angeles-based organization "offers direct monetary support to survivors of the fires and supports projects for fire resilience in affected areas (and potential disaster zones)," the bundle's page states. Save for processing fees, all proceeds will go to CORE. The campaign, which will run until just before midnight ET on March 13, is already over three-quarters of the way to its goal.
The wildfires that struck Southern California in early January damaged or destroyed more than 18,000 structures and led to the evacuation of more than 200,000 people. As of February 12, 29 people are known to have died in the fires.

A Fitting Finale? Oilers Corey Perry Eyes Cup No. 2 To Cap Off Hall Of Fame Career
A Fitting Finale? Oilers Corey Perry Eyes Cup No. 2 To Cap Off Hall Of Fame Career As the third-oldest player in the NHL, Edmonton Oilers right winger Corey Perry is playing on borrowed time. He just turned 40 years old – only Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brent Burns and St. Louis Blues defenseman Ryan Suter are older – and Perry has said he wants to play until he's 45. But like any player who's played 20 seasons in hockey's top league, Perry will eventually have to come to terms with the fact his NHL days are just about done. 2:51 Now Playing Paused Ad Playing

Snail Games Celebrates ARK Franchise's 10-Year Anniversary with New Content and Global Community Events
By GlobeNewswire Published on June 2, 2025, 22:17 IST CULVER CITY, Calif., June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL) ('Snail Games' or the 'Company'), a leading global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, is proud to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of ARK: Survival Evolved ('ASE'), its flagship title and a pillar of its long-term success. Since its debut in Early Access in 2015, ARK has evolved into what we believe to be a world-renowned franchise with a massive player base, strong commercial performance, and an enduring presence in the sandbox survival gaming ecosystem. With an install base of over 92.1 million for ARK: Survival Evolved and more than 3.7 billion hours of total playtime logged on Steam, the original title remains one of the most enduring and beloved survival games in the genre.

The mobile mode effectively reduces hardware barriers and extends the reach of the ARK franchise to a broader international and mobile-first audience.
