The Best Video Game Deals Of The Week, Ending April 22
It's been a busy week for deal hunters, with loads of sales and discounts on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC games to choose from. Here's a roundup of some of the best deals from a variety of sources.
Let's start with the best kinds of deal you'll ever find: free games. Peggle is currently free for PC on Origin. Download it. Play it. Love it. PC gamers can also download a free copy of Satellite Reign from the Humble Store. It's yours to keep and play forever.
Xbox One owners will be pleased to see that PUBG is free to play all weekend long. Any progress you make carries over if you decide to buy the full version after the weekend's over. Speaking of Xbox One, horror fans will be pleased to hear Microsoft is running a big horror game sale this week. So if you've been meaning to scare the pants off yourself playing games like Outlast 2 ($10) or Layers of Fear ($6), head over to see the full list.
The PlayStation Store's weekly promotion is the Double Discount sale. It has discounts on games like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Star Wars Battlefront II. If you have a PS Plus membership, you get twice the discount on each of the games.
Best Buy's weekly video game sale is particularly good this week. It has discounts on everything from Overwatch and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands to a foam replica of Kratos's axe. As always, Gamers Club Unlocked members get additional savings.
On the PC side of the gaming aisle, the retailer GOG is putting its customers' wishlist data to good use. This week, it's dropping prices on some of the "most wishlisted" games, including The Witcher 3, Divinity: Original Sin 2, and more. Additionally, the Humble Store has a number of excellent games on sale this week, including The Long Dark for $9 and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for $5. And the new Razer Game Store is having a sale on Rockstar and 2K games. You can get GTA V for $24, which is a deeper discount than we're used to seeing.
If you're into gaming apparel and collectibles, you have two big sales to check out this week. Both the BioWare Store and the Bethesda Store are shutting down temporarily. They'll be back up eventually, but now they're trying to liquidate tons of apparel, accessories, and collectibles by putting them on sale for cheap. So if you want major discounts on gear based on franchises like Mass Effect, Fallout, and The Elder Scrolls, visit the respective store for savings.
This one isn't quite a deal--in fact, it's kind of the opposite--but it may be of interest to fans of the PS4 exclusive Nioh. You can now pre-order a statue of the protagonist and his spirit guardian. The only catch? It costs $1,000.
We can't spend all of our free time gaming. If you want to expand your leisure activities to movies, you're in luck: Best Buy is running special offers on Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray movies. For instance, you can grab a Kubrick collection and the Lord of the Rings trilogy for $20.
