Gaming is a pricey hobby to keep up with. Not only are a staggering number of must-play titles released each year, but they’re also expensive. (Yes, games cost $ 70 now.) That’s why each week, we’re bringing you the best gaming deals we can find, so you can stay in the know about the hottest new games without stressing over video game-induced debt. Whether you’re looking to catch up on your backlog with discounted titles or are hoping to freshen up your setup with some new hardware, we’ve got you covered.

Why we like it

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve seen the new trailer for GTA VI. While 2025 is still pretty far away, we can’t think of a better way to fill the time than to jump into the game’s predecessor for just $ 24.99. Play through GTA V‘s story, wreak havoc in GTA Online, and before you know it, GTA VI will be as good as yours.

Xbox deals

Why we like it

The Xbox Series S is an incredible starting point for those who are new to gaming consoles, or even just for gamers who are looking to stick to a smaller budget. Why? Well, because the Series S is normally only $ 299.99 for a new-gen console that can run today’s biggest titles and opens up the wonderful world of Xbox Game Pass to you. That’s a bargain as it is, but right now, you can snag one for just $ 259.99 with an included three months of Game Pass, which makes this deal undeniable. (For reference, this bundle got as low as $ 249.99 during the holiday season, so this deal is still well worth the purchase at just $ 10 more.)

It’s the most expansive LEGO Star Wars game to date, featuring vast open areas, engaging gameplay fit for all ages, cooperative play, and most importantly, lighthearted adaptations of every iconic mainline Star Wars film. To sweeten the deal, this edition comes bundled with a bunch of DLC character packs.

The first-generation Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is the comfiest gaming headset we’ve tested: With FlowKnit memory foam ear cushions and a padded headband, you can wear it for hours at a time without getting a headache. It comes equipped with immersive THX Spatial Audio, intuitive on-ear controls, and a crystal-clear mic, and it works with PlayStation and Nintendo Switch consoles in addition to PCs.
