Summer is over, which means parents are going back to school and parents are trying to balance work and the new normal of distance learning. Naturally, it's a great time for video games, because Labor Day Weekend will be the last long weekend for a while. PlayStation is hoping to make this weekend a little more fun with its Essential Picks sale. This features the first price cut for The Last of Us Part 2, along with discounts on Persona 5 Royal, Death Stranding, Dreams, and a handful of first-party PlayStation games.

Elsewhere, monthly freebies have rotated out. Tom Clancy's The Division is free on Xbox One while Street Fighter V and PUBG are both free for PS4. And over in Nintendo Land, some new publisher sales have popped up. Switch owners can grab the best of 2K Games, but the eagle-eyed shopper will also spot discounts for games like The Outer Worlds and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, as well as a slew of great indies.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
