You can pick up one of 2026’s highest-rated games at a 10% discount right now

Though we have only just completed our first month of 2026, there have been thousands of games of all genres released for us to play. But, there is an adventure title that seems to be one of the most loved releases — Cairn.

Cairn has already sold over 200,000 copies after only launching on PlayStation and PC January 29, and it also has a rating of 84 on MetaCritic. This is tied with the RPG The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon as the highest-rated game on the site that has been released in 2026.

Even better, the critically acclaimed adventurer has a 10% discount on PlayStation and PC. 

What is the plot of Cairn?

You are a pro climber named Aava, who is ascending Mount Kami, a summit that has never been reached. Along the journey, you will meet unexpected companions and hear from those that are left on the ground. 

Along the way, you will discover the mountain’s history and decide what Aava is willing to sacrifice to achieve her dream and to cement herself into the history books.

The adventurer puzzler gives you that perfect mix of exploring the beautiful Mount Kami, with the thought provoking actions the player has to go through that the elite climbers also have to experience. These include managing your resources and choosing the correct pathway to safely climb the mountain. 

Combine that with the knowledge that it only takes one misstep for it to go horribly wrong, and it makes it a thrilling adventure thriller.

The game has already got more than 4600 reviews on PlayStation, with the average rating being 4.68 stars out of five, further displaying how players are loving the game. 

The game has a 10% discount on PlayStation and PC

Cairn has an early bird discount on both PlayStation and PC. It’s retailing for $29.99 (£24.99) on both platforms but is available for $26.99 (£22.49) on Steam till February 12, and the discount is available till February 13 if you have PS Plus.
