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.
PS5 Slim Bundles Drop to Just $449.99
This previous Black Friday quality deal has managed to get even better. Now down to just $449.99, you can get both the PS5 (slim model) and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 or Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 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. This is the best PS5 deal we’ve seen in months, and it should be snapped up ASAP to avoid the disappointment of it inevitably going out of stock. Best Buy also has the CoD MW3 bundle for $439.99, but it’s currently sold out.
Save On Nintendo Switch OLED Models at Walmart
Walmart’s offering some great discounts on Nintendo Switch OLED models. Right now, you can save on the Mario Red OLED model, the White OLED model, the OLED model with Neon Red and Neon Blue Joy-Cons, and on a White OLED model that comes bundled with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Keep in mind, though, that the bundle is an imported model, so make sure to check the shipping time. This model also ships with a US plug and Switches aren’t region locked, so it’ll boot up your games just fine, including your brand-new copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!

Perfect Switch SD Card for $25 (and More Deals)
The best Switch SD card should be fast, reliable, and as future-proof as possible.

Therefore, you’re going to want to opt for the latest in SD card tech, which is a micro SDXC UHS-I U3 A2 V30 memory card. That’s a lot of random letters, so to save you a bit of time we’ve left our top suggestions and deals just below for your convenience.

How to Avoid Xbox’s Game Pass Price Hike ($44.99 for 3-Months of Ultimate)
By securing 3-months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $44.99, you can actually avoid the hiked up Game Pass price. We recommend securing your current subscription for as long as possible. You can stack up to a maximum of 36 months of Game Pass, meaning you have the option to accumulate 3-month subscriptions up to 12 times.
Admittedly, this approach might put a strain on your wallet, totaling $539.88 if you purchase the 3-month package from the link 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 $71.76 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.
