Short But Sweet: Hi-Fi RUSH

Refract Gaming Celeste Pre-Built PC
Need a gaming PC to play Hi-Fi RUSH? Well, it’s hard for us not to recommend the Celeste when the original spec was the very one we played Hi-Fi RUSH on!

It’s also got an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics Card to make the animated visuals come alive as you rock out.

Multiplayer Mayhem: Fortnite
Taking personal feelings about a certain witcher allegedly portaling into the game to one side (Geralt would never portal, Geralt hates portals), there’s good reason Fortnite has remained the king of the battle royale genre. With four days to burn, you’re sure to have time to dip your toe in whatever action is kicking off. Grab some friends or dive off the Battle Bus solo into a 100-player battlefield stack with more chaos, carnage, and characters from across pop culture you can shake a unicorn at.
