The Best Video Game Deals (June 2023): Xbox, PC, Switch, PlayStation

Forget worn-out WASD keys. The true hallmark of being a gamer is a never-ending list of games you want to play.

We hunted down the best game deals we could find for every console and gaming subscription service, and we’ll be updating this story every month with a fresh batch of discounts.

Where Can I Find Game Deals?

Retailers often don’t list an end date for video game deals, which means they can end at any time. Price tracking tools like Camelcamelcamel can be helpful for setting up price drop alerts, but they don’t always work on digital-only titles, and they don’t work with every store. Our advice? Check sale sections at major retailers like GameStop, Best Buy, Target, Amazon, and Walmart. 

What’s a good deal? A good rule of thumb is to aim for $40 or less for a recently released AAA title, and $20 or less for older, still popular titles. Video game sales pop up frequently, so be patient and do your price research before clicking Add to Cart.

Humble Bundle offers several bundles every month with various prices. Proceeds are donated to charity. The bundle expands based on how much you pay, but there’s always a lot of value in terms of both what you’re getting and what you’re giving.

At $18 a month, the higher-end Premium tier is pretty expensive, but it includes a more extensive library of older PlayStation titles, plus some streaming options.
