September 23, 2026 is a pocketbook-and-preload Wednesday: Sony’s PS Store Autumn Adventures sale lights up with 600-plus PS5 discounts through October 7, Mad King Redemption joins Xbox Game Pass across three tiers today, and The Witcher 3 Remastered is already popping onto Switch 2 Home screens a week before its September 29 launch.
PS Store: Autumn Adventures puts 600+ PS5 games on sale
Sony’s latest storefront promo is live: Autumn Adventures discounts over 600 PS5 titles, with the sale running through October 7, 2026. Push Square’s roundup flags familiar day-one shelf names in the mix — including Halo: Campaign Evolved and Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced — alongside a deep catalog sweep that will take a while to scroll on the console storefront. Regional lists can diverge (UK and US inventories are not identical), so treat the “600+” figure as the headline count and check your local PS Store for what’s actually discounted in your wallet.
It’s a useful mid-week reset for living-room queues: stack whatever you missed during the summer slate, then keep powder dry for tomorrow’s dual horror unlocks and the denser late-September Game Pass / Switch 2 calendar.
Mad King Redemption joins Game Pass today
Secret Mission Games’ Mad King Redemption is the Game Pass addition of the day — available now on Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass (Cloud, Series X|S, Handheld, and PC). It’s a beat-’em-up / roguelite hybrid with old-school brawler combat, randomized encounters, meta progression between runs, and distinctive 2.5D pixel-art presentation. You pick from four heroes, chase the titular mad king’s forbidden-magic plot, and can play solo or in two-player local co-op.
This is not a day-one Game Pass drop: the game hit early access months earlier and has been buyable on the Xbox Store since August 23 at $14.99. GameRant notes it’s the 11th new Game Pass title of September 2026 and the penultimate brand-new addition before Minecraft Dungeons II arrives day one on September 29. If you already own it, nothing changes; if you’ve been waiting for the subscription gate, today’s the unlock.
Witcher 3 Remastered is already on Switch 2 Home screens
CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered still launches September 29, but Switch 2 owners who hold the original digitally on Switch are already seeing the Remastered tile surface on the Home screen ahead of day one. Players with physical Switch copies of The Witcher 3 get the free Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade on launch day, per My Nintendo News’ September 23 report. It’s a quiet but concrete signal that the hybrid catalog upgrade path is warming up in public — the same week Aspyr’s Middle-earth Shadow bundle hits Switch 2 (September 30) and Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma 2 Dark Arisen Switch 2 build follows on October 9.
What to watch
Tomorrow is the dense one: Control Resonant unlocks multiplat at 7:00 AM PT on September 24 (PS5 Digital Deluxe owners already had the two-day head start), and Silent Hill: Townfall lands the same day on PS5 and PC. Keep Autumn Adventures bookmarked through October 7, queue Mad King’s Game Pass session if couch co-op is your midweek mood, and make sure that Witcher 3 Remastered Home tile actually downloads when September 29 flips.
