There is no surprise that a few games passed under your attention since 2022 was a loaded year with smaller surprise hits (Marvel Snap), blockbusters (God of War Ragnarok), and indie darlings (Immortality). But the biggest blink-and-you-miss-it release may be Need for Speed Unbound, the most recent installment in EA's venerable street racing series, which came out in late November.

You can change the four slots players in Hogwarts Legacy anytime. Additionally, pre-saved slots for other spells will be available for rapid access
