Steam, Xbox and PlayStation sales on now for Christmas

Memo to those giving — or getting — PlayStations, Xboxes, or even PCs this holiday weekend. You can load as many games as you like on any platform.

• Xbox’s Countdown Sale is offering current titles up to 60% off.
• PlayStation’s Holiday sale has the same third-party games marked down by the same amounts.
• It’s true! Steam has listed Modern Warfare 2 – Call of DutyFor $59.49 you get the same price as in the two other marketplaces.

We don’t mean to be so cynical, but all three storefronts also list Elden Ring The holiday sales price is $41.99 so it really does seem to be on publisher’s side. There are deeper discounts the further back you go, but if you’re buying a sports title it’s probably best if you do so for a console, as PC versions are still running second fiddle to PlayStation or Xbox in terms of features.

We like the best value approach to everything. Living in the Light2: Keep Human (Steam) Get it for 29.99 MLB The Show 22 For $8.99 (Xbox) They were released in late winter/early Spring, but both still offer hundreds of hours of gaming time within their reduced price tags. For Steam players looking to top off their piles o’ shame, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy (2021) Metro ExodusFor the cost of a decent sandwich, (2020) is available.

Video gamers don’t need any more books to add to their library of regret. Of course, the good thing about online purchases is your cocktail party company can’t see the bookends and ask what you thought of Wild Hunt in The Witcher 3. Or Shadow of War: Middle-earth. Both available through Steam However, it is a good idea to know your options if they come up during conversation.
