A selection of the finest discounts
Tucked away inside this month’s new Xbox sales is a hefty discount with your name on it. Four new promotions have popped up on the Xbox Store over the past few days, alongside a selection of notable deals exclusively for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
You can take your pick from Bethesda’s 40th Anniversary Sale, slapping discounts on games like DOOM: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. There’s also a chonky THQ Nordic sale to get stuck into, as well as a brilliant selection of Xbox Play Anywhere titles in the latest ID@XBOX promo.
If you’re anything like us and actually enjoy rummaging through page after page of deals and discounts, then by all means have at it! But, if you can’t be arsed scrolling, or perhaps just a smidge lazy (we get it), we’ve done the business for you. We’ve handpicked a bunch of games we’re particularly interested in, complete with trailers, descriptions, Game Pass availability, and whether each title supports Xbox Play Anywhere!
Here are the end dates for the four new Xbox sales:
- Bethesda 40th Anniversary Sale (ends August 13th)
- THQ Nordic & HandyGames Sale (ends August 10th)
- ID@XBOX XPA Sale (ends August 10th)
