Whether you’ve been hunting for ancient Greek treasure as Kassandra in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey or completing missions for Dutch Van der Linde in Red Dead Redemption 2, there has never been a better time to dive into video games.

In fact, the past few weeks have seen a massive surge in online gaming. Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s Xbox, tweeted on March 15 that the company was seeing increased usage.

Half off alert. The Spyro Reignited Trilogy is the HD remastering of the first three Spyro games: Spyro the Dragon, Ripto's Rage!, and Year of the Dragon.
