Memo to those who are giving away – or receiving – PlayStations, Xboxes or even PCs this holiday weekend. Every platform and marketplace has a range of games for sale, so load up while you can.
-
The Xbox Countdown Sale offers the latest titles with discounts of up to 60%.
- game stations holiday sale discounted the same third-party games with the same amounts.
- And lo and behold Steam lists Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 for $59.49, same as the other two marketplaces.
Not to be cynical, but all three storefronts are listed as well Elder Ring for $41.99, so the holiday sale price really seems to be on the publisher’s side. The further back you go the more discounts there are, but if you’re buying a sports title it’s probably best if you do it for a console, as the PC versions are still second fiddle to PlayStation or Xbox are.
As for best stats, we like it dying light 2: stay human (Steam) for $29.99 and MLB The Show 22 for $8.99 (Xbox). Both were released in late winter/early spring, but they still pack hundreds of hours of gameplay into their reduced price tags. For Steam players looking to refill their shame, Wonder
Not that video gamers need more titles to keep in their regret libraries. Of course, the good thing about online shopping is that your cocktail party company can’t see the bookends and ask what you were thinking The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or Middle-earth: Shadow of War. (both available via Steam). Still, you might want an informed opinion when either of the two pops up in a conversation.
