Here’s a quick rundown of this week’s top gaming deals:
Baldur’s Gate 3 for PlayStation
Ever since it hit the shelves, Baldur’s Gate 3 has been a standout RPG, thanks to the impressive work of Larian Studios. Now, it’s even more tempting with a substantial discount on its standard edition, something we haven’t seen often. Seriously, even at its initial full price, it was a steal, being Mashable’s second-best game of 2023. What’s really exciting is the game’s unique replayability—every time you play is a new experience, captivating both newcomers and veterans alike. If you’re into extras, the digital deluxe edition, which offers goodies like a Divinity Bard Song Pack and an Adventurer’s Pouch, is also on sale at the PlayStation Store.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Deal
Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate just became a bit more budget-friendly. Available through Woot!, this deal is noteworthy as Microsoft recently raised the monthly subscription price to $19.99. But, by applying the promo code VIDEOGAMES during checkout, you can cut a cool 44% off a quarterly plan. Pro tip: if you’re looking to enjoy these savings long-term, stack up your subscription for up to 36 months!
Switch on the Savings with Nintendo
Calling all Nintendo aficionados! Walmart is offering a special bundle pack featuring the eye-catching turquoise, leaf-patterned Switch Lite alongside Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The original price of $199.99 was already a fair deal, but Walmart’s taken it down even further to $159. This is a great opportunity for anyone who hasn’t snatched up a Switch yet to dive into the vibrant and relaxing world of Animal Crossing on a charming console.
