Consoles

There are next-level savings across Nintendo Switch consoles in both turquoise and grey hues. There are also discounts on bundles with both the aforementioned Nintendo models as well as Xbox One S and refurbished Xbox One Xs.

Grabbing a cheaper Nintendo Switch is a dream come true to many who might've been without one during the height of the coronavirus lockdown in the UK.

Switch's sold out almost everywhere with demand for the console, and the launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, sent sales through the roof leaving many retailers without stock.

The brand new Xbox Series X and S consoles, and Sony's PlayStation 5 is set to launch November, and a lot of the new games headed for these next-generation consoles will be playable on current-generation systems as well.

Obviously, by today's standards, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are rather old now and when you consider the new, incredibly impressive next-generation consoles are our in just over a month's time, you might want to stay your wallet.

Xbox games

Get your hands on some of the most sought-after games for less. The likes of Assassins Creed, LEGO and Mortal Kombat are available with up to 20 per cent off.

Far Cry 5 is on sale for a steal of £14, so this would be the perfect time to grab it especially considering the impending release of Far Cry 6 coming to next-generation consoles sometime next year.

If you've yet to pick up a copy of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, which is widely regarded as one of the best open-world games out there, then this Game of the Year version which comes with all the extra downloadable content is the one for you.

Not to mention, the developers of the game, CD Projekt Red, has recently announced that people who own the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions of the game will get an enhanced version of the game for free to play on the Microsoft's and Sony's new consoles: the Xbox Series X/S and the PlayStation 5.

PS4 games

Get in on the discount action with games for PS4 devices. There is a truly extensive offering Grand Theft Auto V, Assassin's Creed and even LittleBigPlanet 3.

The best thing about the PS4 is, of course, its exclusive titles which are notoriously expensive when they first release.

During this time, you'll be able to grab yourself excellent games like Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4 and Just Cause 4, which are all blockbuster experiences in their own right.

PC games

For PC players, there's Football Manager as well as CoreGrafx Mini that is preloaded with 50 epic games.

Nintendo Switch games

The discounts on the Nintendo Switch offering should certainly be on your radar. Highlights include Just Dance 2020, Jumanji: The Video Game and LEGO.

Switch games continue to be expensive so whenever they go on sale is a time to rejoice for us Switch lovers, but unfortunately, the main lineup of games you might expect are tragically missing from this list.

It would be excellent to see games like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Mario Kart 8 come on sale once in a while!

Either way, you'll get a lot of mileage out of Rayman Legends, as well as some genuine strategy fun with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
