You never have to look far to find a deal on video games. Even after just a few months, most games start coming down in price, and that's to say nothing of the weekly deals put on by all the retailers that traffic in PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC games. But with so many sales going on all the time, finding the best deals on the best games can be tough. We're here to help.
Every day, we track the gaming deals that go live at all the major retailers. Already this week we've covered still-running game sales at Best Buy, GameStop, Microsoft Store, PlayStation Store, Nintendo Eshop, Humble Store, and more. We've combed through the deals to find the best games available at the best discounted prices. So no matter your platform of choice, you can find something worth playing at a fantastic price.
Meanwhile, subscribers of various programs that offer free games each month shouldn't pass up the opportunity to get them while the getting's good. Right now PlayStation Plus members can still grab their six free games for July (it's no longer July, but PS Plus games switch over on the first Tuesday of each month, so you'll have to wait to download August's free PS Plus games on the 7th). Xbox Live Gold subscribers can grab two of the August offerings right now (Forza Horizon 2 and Dead Space 3). And if you're an Amazon Prime member, don't forget to download August's seven free games from Twitch.
With that out of the way, let's take a look at the best of the best video game deals this week. We dug through all the sales to find the best deals available anywhere that sells games.
Freebies
We already covered the free games for PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live Gold, and Twitch Prime members, but it's worth reiterating to make sure you grab them if you're eligible.
Also available this week is free Battlefield DLC. Battlefield 4 owners can grab two free DLC expansions, while Battlefield 1 players get one. You can download these at no cost on PS4, Xbox One, and PC (through Origin).
Additionally, between now and August 6, you don't need PS Plus to play GTA Online. So if you have a copy of Grand Theft Auto V lying around, pop it in and take it online for free.
Lego The Incredibles (PS4, Xbox One, Switch)
With The Incredibles 2 making a big splash in theaters, it's no surprise Lego The Incredibles was one of the best-selling games of June. This week you can get it on sale on all consoles for $40 at GameStop.
- Lego The Incredibles -- $40 -- PS4 | Xbox One | Nintendo Switch
Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection (Switch)
Save $10 on this polished (and portable) collection of 12 arcade Street Fighter games, including Street Fighter I, II, III, and the Alpha series.
Axiom Verge (PC)
With titles like Dead Cells coming to consoles and Guacamelee 2 hitting soon, if you throw a rock in the air this month, it'll likely land on a new Metroidvania game. But Axiom Verge is one of the best in recent memory, and it's available for half price on the Humble Store.
- Axiom Verge -- $10
Prey (Xbox One)
This often-overlooked shooter from last year is an excellent game. It's also on sale for $15 on the Microsoft Store.
- Prey -- $15
Detroit: Become Human (PS4)
Quantic Dream's recent PS4 exclusive is already on sale on the PlayStation Store. Everyone gets $10 off, but if you have PS Plus, you get double the savings.
- Detroit: Become Human -- $50 ($40 with PS Plus)
Yakuza 6: Song of Life (PS4)
You don't have to have played the rest of the series to get a kick out of the story and often absurd side missions and mini-games in Yakuza 6.
- Yakuza 6: Song of Life -- $52 ($40 with PS Plus)
Overcooked (Xbox One)
If you're in the mood for some seriously hectic co-op cooking, Overcooked is the way to go. With a sequel landing August 7, now is a good time to pick up the original for cheap.
- Overcooked -- $6
