Game Control: FIFA 21 Plus Other 2021 Releases
Console: Super Mario Bros. 35 is out now for the Nintendo Switch. It is available to Nintendo Switch Online members for free on the Nintendo eShop, and will be obtainable as a limited access release until March 31, 2021. Based on the original Super Mario Bros. (1985), the game will follow a battle royale format. To win the game, you must race and compete against 34 other players in a timed setting. Super Mario Bros. 35 is said to include daily challenges and other special tasks as well.
FIFA 21 was officially released on October 9th. Pre-order early access began October 1, but those who downloaded the Champions Edition or Ultimate Edition could download the game October 6. For Xbox One/Xbox Series-X and PS4/PS5, the game costs $59.99 standard, $79.99 for the Champions Edition, and $99.99 for the Ultimate Edition. FIFA 21's next-gen editions will have features that will adapt to the new abilities given by the console and will also include Career Mode improvements. One of the key differences between FIFA 20 and FIFA 21 worth mentioning is the new cap of 40 games that will go towards a player's rank in Division Rivals, meaning that playing a ridiculous volume of games is discouraged. In spite of the FIFA 21 exclusive editions, fans of the franchise argue that there isn’t much change between FIFA 21 and earlier versions of FIFA.

On September 12th, indie developers Odencat released the pixel art mobile game Mousebusters on the iOS and Android app store.
