10 Best Video Game Discounts
You can pick up three games for the price of one, especially if the deal is good enough. To that end, we’ve compiled a list of 10 games that are on sale right now. The majority of them are action-adventure games, but there are some FPS on the list to vary the experience.
#1: Kena: Bridge of Spirits (Deluxe Edition)
If Pixar ever made a game, Kena: Bridge of Spirits (Deluxe Edition) would be the name. The game boasts great graphics, touching character backstories, and lush landscapes. Besides that, its music and soundtracks are phenomenal, truly making the experience yours.
That said, Kena: Bridge of Spirits (Deluxe Edition) usually costs $49.99 but you can find it on sale for around $19.99. The game discount is also only available on PlayStation consoles (The PS5 and PS4). Please note that Kena: Bridge of Spirits is also available on PC.
#2: Sonic Origins Plus
Sonic Origins Plus is usually sold for $39.99; However, it’s frequently on sale for $19.99 because of a holiday game discount. To that end, Sonic Origins Plus is still expensive because it’s a combination of three prior games. That is, you’ll find remastered versions of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD here. Other additions to the game are:
- Expect new opening and closing animations between the games.
- It’s available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
- New modes, such as Anniversary Mode and Mirror Mode, have been added to the list.
#3: GTA V
GTA V is a banger even among GTA games, allowing players to control three characters; Charles, Trevor, and Franklin. The game is usually priced at $39.99 but you can find tons of deals for it during the holidays. For the Christmas season, it’s typically on sale for $14.99 or less, which is a steal because Sonic Origins Plus is currently more expensive.
Yet, GTA V still offers a longer playtime so the game discount is welcomed with open arms. Thankfully, this game has been remastered for next-gen consoles such as the PS5.
#4: Marvel’s Guardian of the Galaxy
To reviewers at Player.com, Marvel’s Guardian of the Galaxy is a surprisingly good game, the same way its movies are always better in comparison to the standalone Avengers movies. This game was our go-to for weeks because of its sleek combat, featuring five playable characters. You will control Star-Lord, Groot, Gamora, Rocket Racoon, and Drax the Destroyer. The game discount means the title is available on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PCs for $16.99 for a limited time.
#5: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a 2023 action-adventure game with more highs than lows. For one, you’re a Jedi, so you can use an impressive range of abilities. You can expect combat to be sleek and fast, offering the ability to lock on to targets and switch between them. The game discount reduces the PS5’s version to $34.99 instead of the usual $69.99. In comparison, it’s currently available on PCs for $69.99 so this isn’t a bad deal. Hopefully, Star Wars Outlaws will turn out to be a far better game.
#6: Assassin’s Creed Mirage (Deluxe Edition)
Assassin’s Creed Mirage focuses on Basim’s experiences growing up in the streets of Baghdad. Yes, Basim was the hidden antagonist in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, whom Eivor accidentally helped. In this entry, you’ll enjoy the talents of a master assassin, the opposite of Eivor. You’ll enjoy tools such as poison bombs, sleeping darts, throwing knives, and more.
Besides that, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is available on the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC at 4K resolution. So, Baghdad is historically accurate to a fault; At least when you look at the landmarks. The deluxe edition was previously sold for $59.99 but now it’s on sale for $39.99 due to a game discount. By the new year, this deal may be gone so don’t miss out on features such as:
- An outfit inspired by the Prince of Persia.
- Unique eagle and mount skins are included.
- A digital art book of 78 pages will be available too.
#7: Riders Republic
Riders Republic was previously sold for $59.99, but now it’s on sale for $13.99 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Unlike the action-adventure games on the list, this is a proper sports simulation for bikers, motorcyclists, and many more. For regular consumers, it’s an invigorating title that lets you witness lush landscapes and treacherous deserts and mountains. The five main sports that you can enjoy are skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, mountain biking, and wingsuit flying.
#8: Digimon Survives
Digimon Survives is a visual novel that’s a first for the Digimon game series, where you combine tactics and strategies. Your decisions also affect the game characters’ future so choose your dialogue carefully. Gameplay-wise, you’ll enjoy three unique perspectives, which are narrative, explorative, and battle-oriented. Having mentioned those merits, Digimon Survives suffers from a few flaws, which is why it’s ranked so low. Sitting on top are poor voiceovers and text for English speakers. Usually sold for $29.99, the game is now on sale for $18.99.
#9: Marvel’s Midnight Suns
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a 2022 game where tactical play is integrated into combat. Yes, it’s an RPG, and it’s available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PCs. The turn-based strategy is quite a delight to use, with intuitive controls that are smoothly implemented in the user interface. As for the lore, multiple characters from different hero groups such as the Avengers, Midnight Suns, and X-Men must combine efforts to vanquish Chthon, an Elder God who can wield chaos magic.
#10: Yakuza: Like a Dragon
You can pick up Yakuza: Like a Dragon for around $17.99, which is a steal considering the long playtime of 46 hours. If you’re a completionist, look forward to a 100-hour experience, and that’s if you ignore one or two side missions. You’ll control Ichiban Kasuga, a lowly Yakuza from a low-ranking Yakuza family who just left prison after 18 years.
Betrayed and abandoned by his mentor, he sets out on a journey of redemption, which involves confronting his demons and old enemies. Along the way, you’ll fight many goons and form deep bonds with certain NPCs. Personally, our love for the game’s combat is unmatched because Ichiban truly fights like a dragon. He uses any object in his immediate environment to eliminate foes, and this includes bikes, umbrellas, street signs, and baseball bats.
Our Final Say: These Game Discounts Will Expire
These deals won’t last forever so if you’ve been looking forward to playing any of these games, now is the best time. Sure, games such as GTA V will get cheaper in the coming years, but GTA 6 isn’t being released for at least a year. That said, you should keep an eye out for new year deals because other AAA games might just be added to the list.
