Clear the digital cobwebs off your wishlist and stretch those thumbs because some absolute gems are on sale across every major platform this week. Whether you’re chasing a retro-style indie for loose change or something AAA to chew on until tax returns hit, there’s something to tempt just about everyone. Enough talk, though. Let’s get amongst some bargains!
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 28th birthday of my personal favourite moustache racer, Mario Kart 64. What sold me was its first-in-series 4P multi, and probably about a hundred hours spent doing “winner plays on” 150cc VS. Mode and Block Fort balloon battles at a mate’s house. When the surf was crap in Kiama, his headland-based abode basically became the local youth drop in centre—just a constant state of shoulder-to-shoulder competition and trash talk. Truly, some of the best gaming years of my life.

Nintendo gets weird and wonderful with Inside for under three bucks. This eerie side-scroller was developed in near-total secrecy by Playdead, with its wordless storytelling spawning more fan theories than a late-season Lost episode. Also up is Sonic x Shadow Generations, a return of the “edgiest” hedgehog, whose original design notes included motorbikes and guns because… 2005.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Xbox owners should look to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, where the devs consulted actual military veterans to nail the weight and motion of the titular walking tanks. Or, for something less lore-heavy but equally punchy, there’s Tekken 8, a brilliant sequel I still play to death.

PlayStation players can grab Gran Turismo 7, whose devs laser-scan every car for obsessive detail—right down to tyre treads. Or if you fancy some anime melodrama, Tales of Arise blends fast combat with storytelling so earnest it could make a mecha blush.

Purchase Cheap for PC
PC has Horizon Forbidden West at 40% off, with wide monitor support so glorious you’ll wish the real world had ultrawide FOV. And for loose change, SteamWorld Dig 2 offers a charmingly chunky Metroidvania that was partly prototyped on paper before going digital.
