The best Nintendo game deals still running

First-party Nintendo games don’t go on sale very often, but with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, plenty of games for the original Switch are seeing discounts down to around $40 this summer. These include titles from the beloved Zelda, Mario, and Pokémon franchises, just to name a few. Even if you’ve upgraded to Nintendo’s latest console, these games will still run on that machine, too, and some even have upgraded performance. But even on the Switch 1, they’re still worth it—Nintendo games are still so revered after all this time for a reason.

The best PlayStation and Xbox game deals still running

Finally, PlayStation and Xbox gamers have their own deals to shop. These include cuts to mainstays like Elden Ring, but also recent releases like Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows. There are discounts on RPGs, stealth games, and even co-op platformers here.

Some deals are only available on certain platforms, even if a game is multiplatform, so I’ve noted which platform has an active deal in parentheses next to the game’s title.
