Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is one of the best games of 2019 thus far, and it’s the perfect first game for a new Xbox One S system. If you haven’t yet purchased the game or Microsoft’s console, you can get the Xbox One S The Division 2 bundle at Target right now, and you’ll also get a $50 gift card at no extra cost.

The bundle includes:

White 1TB Xbox One S
Wireless controller
Standard copy of The Division 2
One-month subscription to Xbox Live Gold
One-month trial to Xbox Game Pass
$50 gift card for Target

Xbox Game Pass offers unlimited access to a vault of games on the Xbox One, including all recent first-party Microsoft titles. These are downloaded rather than streamed, so you can play them without worrying about internet speed affecting your performance.

The Xbox One S is the less-expensive version of the Xbox One family, which also includes the more powerful Xbox One X. Though it can’t play games in 4K, the Xbox One S supports HDR and it includes a 4K Blu-ray player for watching UHD films. It also features an internal power supply, which the first Xbox One model did not. The console runs quietly and at a cool temperature, letting you put all of your focus on the games you’re playing. It’s a great halfway point between affordability and raw power that can satisfy most casual gaming experiences.

The Division 2 is Ubisoft’s sequel to the original 2016 game, and we gave it a 9 out of 10, calling it a “thoroughly engaging shooter.” It moves the action from New York City to Washington D.C. and puts more focus on endgame content than its predecessor. It retains the engaging loot and progression system from the first entry, as well as the Dark Zone competitive multiplayer. The Dark Zone sees players working together to acquire powerful gear, but they’re able to turn on each other at any point and attempt to steal it all for themselves. Even fellow Division agents can’t truly trust each other when high-end loot is on the line.

The Xbox One S 1TB The Division 2 bundle will be available with the gift card through March 30. If you prefer a different game, identically priced bundles featuring Battlefield V, Minecraft, or NBA 2K19 are also available.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a boilerplate port, and that’s OK

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a perfectly good game, but it will be Nintendo’s most underwhelming release in 2025. Those who've already played this platformer from Retro Studios on Wii or 3DS don't have much reason to buy the game on Switch unless they're itching to replay a great platformer. Like Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and some other straightforward remasters that Nintendo launched recently, this feels like filler so that Nintendo can bide time until the launch of the Switch’s successor.

When it comes to filler, you could do much worse. Donkey Kong Country Returns is one of the Wii's best games. Anyone checking it out for the first time through the re-release is in for an excellent platforming adventure. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is the definitive version of the Wii classic, but let's hope it's one of the last releases of its kind for a bit rather than one that sets the stage for Nintendo’s 2025.

Think Path of Exile 2 is too hard? Its devs want you to get good

Path of Exile 2 launched to much fanfare as fans of the first -- and players hungry for another Diablo-style experience -- flocked to the game. But players quickly discovered that it did not hold your hand. If you die, you're kicked from the game and lose some experience, plus any loot you haven't picked up yet. The RPG's latest patch will address a few pain points, but the developers say "the whole death actually mattering thing is important."

Director Jonathan Rogers says the game is high risk, high reward. He gave an interview with streamers Darth Microtransaction and GhazzyTV to discuss the patch. Give it a watch, if you'd like -- but be aware the video is four hours long.

Our final Nintendo Switch 2 reveal predictions

The day is almost upon us. After years of speculation, we're very close to an official reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2. Thank goodness for that, as we've been locked in a tidepool of fake leaks and rumors for far too long. The new console hype cycle can be fun in moderation, but the long road to Nintendo's next console has only become more exhausting over time. We had AI companies faking its release date for clout, hardware manufacturers sharing 3D printed mock-ups, and every so-called insider on the planet flinging out conflicting information.

It'll all come to an end soon when Nintendo reveals its new console. While that's a relief, there is something bittersweet about it. The mystery of a new gaming device is part of the fun. What will it look like? What games will launch with it? Will it be backward compatible? These are the kinds of questions make for fun social fodder; I've had plenty of speculative conversations with friends over the past two years. In some twisted way, I'll miss that once reality sets in.
