Batman: Arkham Origins is basically free right now if you need a Christmas game

It’s Christmastime, so why not play something festive to get you in the mood for the big day tomorrow.

Funnily enough there are very few Christmas-themed games, and the majority of them are quite bad (looking at youDead Rising4), fear not though as we have the ultimate Christmas game right here,Batman: Arkham Origins.

In the same way people argue whetherDie Hardis a Christmas film, people also argue ifBatman: Arkham Originsis a Christmas game.

The game might not beaboutChristmas but it is set during Christmas, so I’d say that counts as a festive game.

If you haven’t played it before it’s worth trying especially if you enjoyed the other Batman: Arkham games.

It’s not as good unfortunately but I’d go as far to say it’s underrated, but if you’re still on the fence let me inform you that you can currently get the game for mere pocket change.

Batman: Arkham Originsiscurrently£1.49 onSteam, an absolute steal for quite a decently sized game,andit’s Steam Deck verified so you can play it on the go.

As far as I’m aware you can’t buy the game on other platforms, as it was delisted on the Xbox Store ages ago and PlayStation fans can only play it viaPlayStation PlusPremium.

If you have the disc for Xbox 360 you’ll be able to play it on Xbox that way, but no such luck for PlayStation users.

At the time of writing the only way to acquire it digitally is through Steam and for less than £2 it’s more than worth it to get into the festive spirit.
