Save a bundle on Sayyy-gah.
This ain’t no idle Wednesday, fellow bargain hunter. I’ve dug up a treasure trove of discounted games just waiting to be snagged, and I’ve picked some of the best deals across Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox Series X, and PS5 to make your decision easier. But hey—less talking, more saving. Get amongst the list.
This Day in Gaming 🎂In retro news, I’m celebrating the 32nd birthday of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, the best of the Mario/Wario platformers on Game Boy. SML2 is remembered for ditching the original’s Superball Flower in favour of the more familiar and satisfying Fire Flower, plus it introduced Bunny Mario. He could jump higher, glide through the air, and procreate faster (fan theory unconfirmed). I sacrificed many a AA battery to this one at launch. It still plays great on a Switch nowadays.
Well this could be bad…Aussie bdays for notable games- Super Mario Land 2 (GB) 1993. Get

NintendoPCXboxPlayStationLEGONice Savings for Nintendo Switch
First up on Switch, Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a spooky good steal at 33% off. Meanwhile, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble (44% off) revives the classic franchise, and I love that in early prototypes, Sega even tested a banana-shaped controller for it.
Luigi’s Mansion 3
Mario, it turns out, isn’t the only plumber in Nintendo’s employ who can carry his own great game. Luigi’s Mansion 3 is so much fun, so charming, and so smartly designed. 8/10, great.

Purchase Cheap for PC
On PC, Max Payne 3 is a ridiculous 74% off—this game’s gritty realism was enhanced by Rockstar hiring real-life Brazilian ex-cops as consultants. If you’re more into RPGs, Persona 5 Royal (64% off) brings its stylish turn-based combat to PC at a huge discount.
Persona 5 Royal
Persona 5 Royal takes an all-time great JRPG and makes it even greater. Going above and beyond a re-release or a remaster, almost everything has been expanded and improved with an entire game’s worth of new content and improvements.10/10, masterpiece.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, Sifu (70% off) is a must-play for martial arts fans, blending brutal combat with a unique aging mechanic. Meanwhile, Persona 5 Tactica (60% off) brings turn-based strategy with a rebellious flair, featuring chibi-styled characters that were originally sketched as a joke.
Metaphor: ReFantazio
Refining the Atlus RPG formula of weaving tough turn-based combat into compelling social sim mechanics, ReFantazio doesn’t just send a powerful message across its political drama, it becomes a beautiful expression of the real impact storytelling can have.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
Finally, PS5 owners can grab Unicorn Overlord at half price, an epic strategy RPG from the makers of Odin Sphere, packed with gorgeous hand-drawn art. Or, for some couch co-op chaos, Overcooked! All You Can Eat (35% off) delivers frantic multiplayer fun with level design inspired by real-world kitchen disasters.
FC 25
EA Sports FC 25 delivers a few bright spots, like the fun and refreshing Rush mode, but it hasn’t evolved massively over last year. Bit of a constant there, really.
