Our favorite apps, games and entertainment from 2021 for all your new tech

It's been a rough year, and with the outbreak of the omicron COVID-19 variant, it looks like 2022 may have a rough start. But whether you're spending the holidays sheltered at home or hanging out with friends and family, you can make things more joyful and fun by using your brand new hardware – or your current technology – to watch great Stream movies or TV, play games, and refresh your computer or mobile device with exciting new apps.

We asked the staff of Means I/O to tell us about their favorite streaming videos, games and apps. These haven't been scientifically tested or publicly polled - they're what we've used and enjoyed and think you'll like (or like) too. We've compiled our favorite streaming shows from HBO Max, Hulu and Netflix; our most popular games for iOS, Android and Windows devices; and our top picks for the OLED Switch, PS5, Xbox, and for your VR headset. We even have a list of some top TikTok creators. And when it's time to get serious, we've recommended our favorite apps for Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS.

We will be rolling these out over the holiday season. So take a look at our top picks of the year and enjoy!
