Buying new video games, hardware, and accessories for your preferred console doesn’t need to make a massive dent in your wallet. In fact, deals happen all the time for items like these, so you can save money while investing in your favorite hobby.
TL;DR – Our Favorite Video Game Deals
These sales even occur outside of events like Prime Day, Black Friday, or publisher events like Nintendo’s eShop sale in the summer or PlayStation’s Days of Play. And while we’ll always keep you up to date on those sales and what’s included in them, here, we’ll provide you with year-round deals that are worth taking advantage of. Whether you play on PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or PC, you’ll find the very best deals listed below.
Get $10 Off a 3-Month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Subscription
You can score $10 off a three-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription at Target right now, bringing its price down to $39.99. Also, a big reminder that Xbox hiked the monthly price of Game Pass last year; to avoid this, we’d recommend stacking these as much as possible (36 months is the max you can load onto your account). There’s no telling when this deal will expire at Target, so make the most of it while you still can.
Admittedly buying up 12 of these codes can put a strain on your wallet, totaling $479.88 with the deal above. However, when you compare it to the new cost of Game Pass Ultimate for 36 months at $16.99 per month, amounting to $611.64, you’ll realize you’re saving $131.76 on your subscription for the next three years. Otherwise, secure your membership for at least a year to lock in at least some savings overall.
Best PS5 Deal: PS5 Slim Bundles From Just $399.99
This previous Black Friday quality deal has managed to get even better. Now down to just $449, you can get the PS5 (slim model) and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 at a big discount. Plus, considering the cost of buying each of these separately ($69.99 + $499.99 = $569.98), your savings are significantly more than at first glance. And, if you’d prefer the Digital Edition of this bundle, you can grab it for just $399.99 as well! It’s an excellent deal you don’t want to miss out on.
Enjoy Discounts On Select Xbox Controllers
In need of another Xbox controller? Well, you’re in luck, as there are a few discounted right now, with a couple down to just $44. The new Dream Vapor controller (which released in February this year) even has a discount of 28% at the moment. In my opinion, you can never have too many controllers. You never know when someone will pop on by and want to play Overcooked or It Takes Two, or any local multiplayer game.

Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core i9 RTX 4080 SUPER Gaming PC $2499.99
Do you prefer to play on a dedicated tower? Navigating the options online can be a lengthy ordeal. Desk space (or lack of desk space), portability, and price point are often factors in the decision. Utility, function, and fun little extras like RGB capacities or sound-enhancing add-on devices to pair with your PC often make up the list of desired needs. However, there are some great PC deals that pop up every now and again that are worth jumping on before they disappear. One of our favorite deals at the moment is on this Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 4080 Super gaming PC that’s dropped from $2799.99 to $2499.99.
WD_BLACK PS5 4TB SSD for $299.99 at Amazon
Looking to completely maximize your PS5 storage capabilities? Then this is the deal for you. For a limited time only, this PS5 4TB SSD is available at Amazon for just $299.99 (see here). It has an MSRP of $699.99 which is rather dramatic, but in reality, this and many other 4TB SSDs have been sitting around $280-$300 recently.
