To usher in the Christmas season, a big Microsoft sale is discounting some of the years biggest games by 30% or more. That includes Assassin's Creed Valhalla for $44.99 instead of $60, 50% off Marvel's Avengers, and a $20 discount on Immortals: Fenyx Rising. There are more than a few accessories on offer, too.
The games on offer might be digital titles, but there is an option near the Buy button to 'Buy as gift' so you can give someone the code to download to their own Xbox account, making it a great Christmas present that doesn't rely on the postal service being able to deliver it on time.
- Xbox games: Save up to 55% at Microsoft
- Xbox accessories: See offers at Microsoft
- PC games: Save up to 75% at Microsoft
This Microsoft sale will end January 3 2021, so you don't have long to take advantage of the reductions. However, the games seem to be digital so at least you won't need to wait for delivery.
Because digital games don't often get price cuts, these discounts are pretty tempting. Especially when paired with an Xbox Game Pass subscription; you can currently get Destiny 2 expansions Forsaken, Shadowkeep, and Beyond Light for free with the service. And if you don't have Game Pass, being able to grab Destiny 2: Beyond Light for $29.99 is still a bargain.
There are also PC games available at a lower price as part of the Microsoft sale, not to mention some key accessories. Namely, you can pick up excellent HyperX headsets or a Western Digital hard drive for less in the accessory section.
We've included some highlights below.
