The weekend's here, so it's time for deals Save on God of War for Steam, the Goldilocks of the iPad lineup, Amazon Echo speakers, and more If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement. If you've been living under a rock or in hibernation all week (or vacationing in lovely New England, like me), you may have missed quite a bit. Let's get you caught up to speed with the abridged version of what's been going on, and what's happening very soon: Amazon announced a bunch of new products as well as an upcoming Prime Early Access Sale (it's basically Prime Day v2) Google is killing off its ambitious Stadia game streaming service Tesla's AI Day event is happening later today, and it may or may not show off a robot prototype (which may or may not be a guy in a suit) Next week will bring a Pixel event from Google, and the week after there's a Microsoft Surface event (when will the busy season end? Ha. Never) I know that's quite a bit to keep track of, but the benefit of being a Verge Deals subscriber is we can always catch you up on some of the headlines, as well as excellent deals you might have missed along the way. So here's a helping of new and existing tech deals you should check out. They go great with some pancakes and fresh maple syrup, as everything does. God of War for PC is just $23.31 at Eneba with a cheeky promo code PlayStation games certainly seem to be a hit with PC gamers, and the trend of releasing more Sony titles on PC shows no signs of slowing down. One of the advantages of playing on PC is increased graphical performance, and another is frequent discounts direct from Steam or third-party sellers. For instance, right now you can get God of War for just $23.31 ($26.68 off) at Eneba with promo code BOY at checkout.   This meme of a promo code was discovered by the savvy community at Slickdeals, and it brings the PC version of God of War down to its best price available. It's a good time to catch up on Sony Santa Monica Studio's epic, as God of War Ragnarok is due out on PS4 and PS5 in early November. Plus, you can even play this version on a Steam Deck.  God of War (PC) $23.31 $49.99 54% off Prices taken at time of publishing.

For example, the Eero Pro 6E is currently on sale for $179 ($120 off) for a single router. It's the company's highest-end router that can blanket up to 2,000 square feet in Wi-Fi 6 signal by itself. It also features two ethernet ports and, notably, a dedicated 6GHz band — in addition to 2.4GHz and 5GHz — that'll let supported devices have their own channel for intensive high-bandwidth use cases.   While our resident smart home reviewer Jennifer Pattison Tuohy ran into a couple issues with reliability in her review, the Eero Pro 6E is enticing if you have Wi-Fi 6E-compatible devices or want to ensure you're futureproof. Eero Pro 6E tri-band router  $179 $299 40% off Prices taken at time of publishing. Eero's Pro 6E mesh router is the Amazon-owned company's latest top-of-the-line model.

Wired speeds can go up to 2.5Gbps. $179 AT AMAZON $179 AT EERO The iPad Air is the "just right" iPad for most people, and the 256GB model is $70 off Amazon is discounting the 256GB / Wi-Fi configuration of the 2022 iPad Air to $679 (usually $749) in space gray, or purple. This matches the lowest price we've seen on the 2022 model of the 10.9-inch iPad Air that has the M1 processor.   This lightweight tablet offers excellent performance and is capable of lasting all day on a single charge. Sure, it doesn't have extra-fancy features like a Mini LED display or the Face ID function from the iPad Pro (the Air has a Touch ID sensor integrated into its power button), but we still think the iPad Air is a great value. If you have the money, it's a big upgrade over the base iPad as well as the iPad Mini, and not nearly as pricey as the various iPad Pro options.
