2025 has been a pretty tough year for gaming price hikes. Earlier this year, Xbox announced that it had "adjusted" pricing on its Xbox consoles, controllers, and first-party games, and this month started with an announcement from Nintendo about price increases in the US for its older Switch handhelds and accessories.

With everything getting a tad more expensive, deals and discounts are more important than ever before. That's why this Newegg Xbox gift card saving particularly stood out to me while I was doing my daily hunt among the rest of the best Xbox Series X accessories savings out there.

Thanks to Newegg, you can save $12 off an Xbox gift card worth $100 by using a simple promo code at checkout. Normally, a $100 gift card would cost you, well, $100 of course, but thanks to this limited-time deal, it'll only set you back $88 instead. Is it the biggest saving in the universe? No, but even keeping an extra $12 in your pocket can help with the rising gaming costs and make the hobby a bit easier to afford.

$12 off $100 Xbox Gift Card w/promo code at Newegg
Save $12 - Newegg likes to roll out these Xbox gift voucher deals every few months, but the last time I saw one this good was back in February earlier this year. Now, Newegg has returned with a promo code that will net you $100 of credit to put towards a Game Pass subscription, games, or DLC for just $88.

Buy it if:

✅ You're based in the US
✅ You have an Xbox Series X/S or PC
✅ You want to keep up with the Xbox store sales

Don't buy it if:

❌ You only play physical games
❌ You're based in the UK
❌ You play the PS5

What makes it such a steal is that, outside of the small savings, you can use the funds of this gift card to buy digital games through the Xbox store, extra DLC for your favorite Xbox titles, or even use it in lieu of grabbing one of the best Xbox Game Pass deals and make the total $239.88 annual cost of Ultimate less eye-watering.

If you prefer to buy all your Xbox games physically, then grabbing an Xbox gift card won't really be worth your time. That is, unless you also have your eyes on a myriad of digital Xbox games, DLC, game add-ons, season passes, and are saving some funds towards your Game Pass subscription. With an official digital Xbox gift card added to your Xbox account (like the one part of this Newegg deal), you can save cash on all these things, as opposed to simply checking out from the Xbox store.

Purchasing an Xbox gift card provides you with a code that can be used to add funds to your account, and in this case, it adds $100 worth for $88. You can then use that to purchase new games like Grounded 2, or put it towards a subscription to Game Pass Ultimate, so you can get access to a massive library of existing games (including Grounded 2), future day-one releases, and more. It's basically a handy method of saving cash on any digital Xbox purchases, which is ideal at a time when gaming is pricier than ever before.

This Xbox gift card deal in particular is only going to be around for another 16 hours as of typing these very words. So if even a small $12 off can help keep your gaming costs lower than usual, it's definitely worth jumping on while you still have the chance.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
