The PlayStation Store’s huge Summer Sale is live until Aug. 14, Xbox is discounting game upgrades and Ubisoft titles until next week, and the My Nintendo Store is offering steep markdowns on multiplayer games through Aug. 11. Meanwhile, retailers like Walmart and Target are giving last-gen gamers the chance to save on select consoles ahead of the upcoming holiday shopping season.
Don’t worry about combing through every single offer yourself. Below, we’ve rounded up the absolute best gaming deals from across the web for the week of August 7.

Why we like it
This is the biggest discount we’ve ever seen on the standard edition of BG3 — it rarely goes on sale. But truth be told, we think it’s worth it even at full price: Larian Studios’ fabulously written RPG was Mashable’s second-favorite game of 2023. “No two playthroughs will ever be the same, with the game itself capturing a zeitgeist of experienced, casual, and non-gamers alike that no other game on this list can do,” wrote assistant editor Chance Townsend. Note that the digital deluxe edition that tacks on extras like a Divinity Bard Song Pack, an exclusive dice theme, an Adventurer’s Pouch, and other bonus content is also marked down in the PlayStation Store.

Best Xbox deal

Our pick: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (3 months)
at Woot! with code VIDEOGAMES
$59.97
Save $26.48
Why we like it
Ignore the original list price on this Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offer from Woot!, an Amazon-owned deals site: Microsoft recently upped the price of its subscription service to $19.99 per month, so this quarterly plan is actually worth close to $60. You’ll save a total of 44% if you enter the promo code VIDEOGAMES at checkout. (That takes an extra $3 off the advertised sale price.) If you want to lock in those savings for the long run, keep in mind that you can stack a prepaid Game Pass Ultimate subscription for up to 36 months.

Best Nintendo Switch deal
Opens in a new window
Our pick: Nintendo Switch Lite (Timmy & Tommy’s Aloha Edition) ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Bundle
at Walmart
$199.99
Save $40.99
Why we like it
This Walmart-exclusive bundle includes a turquoise, leaf-patterned Nintendo Switch Lite and a digital copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It’s a great deal at its usual sticker price of $199.99; the Switch Lite itself is worth that exact amount on its own. But in a lingering deal from Walmart’s anti-Prime Day sale in early July, it’s now on sale for just $159 (or 20% off). For those who somehow don’t own a Switch console yet in the Year of Our Lord 2024, this is a fantastic starter pack.
