Rejoice, my fellow penny pinchin’ patient ones! This week’s gaming deals are packed with heavy-hitters at jaw-dropping discounts and some old gold you really ought to own already, so let’s dive into the best of the best. Get scrolling to get savin’!
This Day in Gaming 🎂In retro news, I’m using a PLAS-1 Scorcher to light 10 candles on a Helldivers bday cake. Rather different from its current-day darling of a sequel, this top-down twin-stick shooter was a white-knuckle affair that bolstered/ruined many a mateship with its uncommon inclusion of friendly fire. One core memory for me: hearing some NPC Helldivers on my bridge remark upon the ‘peacefulness’ of their skull logo in a very “Are we the baddies?” exchange. Comedy gold.

NintendoPCXboxPlayStationLEGONice Savings for Nintendo Switch
If you’ve yet to experience Immortals Fenyx Rising on Switch, now’s the time—at just A$12, it’s an absolute steal. This mythological adventure from Ubisoft was originally pitched as an Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey expansion before evolving into a full-fledged game that I thought was criminally under-bought.
South Park: TFBW
Another epic-length episode of the humor that’s kept fans of the show laughing for 20 years. The Marvel vs DC parody delivers regular laugh-out-loud moments.

Purchase Cheap for PC
On PC, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is practically free at A$1.49! This stunning remake of Lara Croft’s 1996 debut contains a secret Bigfoot Easter egg, a callback to a long-standing rumor about the original game. And if you crave justice with a side of ‘80s nostalgia, RoboCop: Rogue City is actually way better than you think it is.
Corsair K70 Core SE
The Corsair K70 Core is an affordable, reasonably well-specced and efficient gaming keyboard. 8.5/10, great.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, Metro Exodus is an incredible A$9 deal. Did you know the game features a hidden tribute to Half-Life 2? Pay close attention to a certain scientist’s mug and thank me later for the excited Leo DiCaprio point you’ll do at your screen.
HyperX Cloud Alpha
The HyperX Cloud Alpha offers a winning mix of affordability, comfort, and outstanding audio quality. 9.4/10.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
Finally, PS5 players can snag Cyberpunk 2077 for A$35—an incredible turnaround for a game that went from infamous launch to redemption arc. And a cheaper Hitman: World of Assassination will let you creatively eliminate targets, including one mission that secretly mimics Knives Out’s whodunit structure.
Bastion
Bastion’s leveling, weapon upgrades, and difficulty tweaks are just too gosh-darn addictive. The story could’ve been better, but it doesn’t matter. 9/10, amazing.
Hitman World of Assassination (-42%) – A$62Dragon Age: The Veilguard (-46%) – A$59Persona 5 Royal (-37%) – A$60EA Sports FC 25 (-35%) – A$72Cyberpunk 2077 (-50%) – A$35PS4
