Best PlayStation Deal

Why we like it: This deal marks the biggest discount we’ve ever seen for the standard edition of Baldur’s Gate 3. Even when it’s not on sale, this game is a must-have. Crafted by Larian Studios, this RPG masterpiece earned a spot as our second-favorite game of 2023. "No two playthroughs will ever be the same," noted Assistant Editor Chance Townsend, highlighting the game’s broad appeal to gamers of all backgrounds. You can also snag the digital deluxe edition, which includes a Divinity Bard Song Pack, a unique dice theme, an Adventurer’s Pouch, and more, all at a reduced price on the PlayStation Store.

Best Xbox Deal

Why we like it: Ignore the original list price of this Xbox Game Pass Ultimate deal over at Woot!, which is part of Amazon. Microsoft recently increased the monthly subscription fee to $19.99, making this quarterly plan worth almost $60. By applying the promo code VIDEOGAMES at checkout, you’ll enjoy a total savings of 44%, which adds even more to the advertised discount. Plus, you can stack Game Pass Ultimate prepaid subscriptions for up to three years, ensuring you keep saving in the long term.

Best Nintendo Switch Deal

Why we like it: Walmart offers an exclusive deal with a sleek turquoise, leaf-patterned Nintendo Switch Lite bundled with Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a digital download. Normally, the bundle runs for $199.99, about the same price as the Switch Lite by itself. However, carrying over from Walmart’s anti-Prime Day sale in July, it’s now available for just $159—an incredible 20% off. If you’ve held out on joining the Switch family in 2024, this starter pack is not one to miss.
