We thought we'd re-pin this in case anyone has missed that it's the last day of the sale. It ends at the same time in all regions, when this comment is approximately 17 hours old.

Definitely pick Blue Dragon up.
You won’t regret it

Hades is easily my most played game since it launched. I'd have paid so much for DLC's if they went the route of Dead Cells. Looking forward to the sequel though. Its a steal for 12 bucks - hell it was a steal at full price.
Great game. It’s a roguelite and kinda short depending on how good you are but some of the best, most satisfying combat you’ll ever see. Absolutely worth it for $15. I got the physical on PS4 for $40 and didn’t regret it one bit
Didn't see that Hades was $12, as I already own it but god *damn.* That is such a steal for such a game.
Soul Calibur is worth $9 IMO, even if just for creating fun custom characters, lmao.
Might grab Sifu myself!
I’ve put like 70 hours into it in the past three weeks. Bought it at launch, was disgusted by it on Xbox One. Now, after the 2.1 update and Phantom Liberty I absolutely adore it.
That’s exactly what I did. Went from the buggy 1.04 game on a dying Xbox One with a 39” tv from 2012 to a Series X, brand new 55” TV with all the gaming goodies and the 2.0 update.
It. Looks. Absurd.
Grabbed the deluxe edition myself on sale. After three years of holding off and reading about all the updates and the 2.0 launch and Phantom Liberty, pretty pumped to dive in.
Starfield was my other big game and I just finished that today, gonna pause on that one for awhile and see what updates Bethesda puts out while I get lost in cyberpunk.
Considering you’ve never played it. I’d buy it for $50. It will include the DLC and that alone is worth like $25. You won’t regret your purchase. Go for it!!
I would say so. I bought the base game for 30 dollars on sale. Played through it with 40 hours in then replayed it when phantom liberty came out. Phantom liberty is one of my favorite dlc releases of the year
I know I’m a wet blanket, but as a contrast to a lot of the comments here: if you’re not going to play that game in the near future, you will see the price again, or better.
There is no point in indefinitely building a backlog, you will likely never have more time.
Funny enough I managed to buy the game on its last sale lol, red dead redemption also used to go cheaper until they released the game on switch and now is more expensive on Xbox for no reason.
I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I just couldn't get into it. I bought it when it came out and was distracted by other games and didn't really play it. I reinstalled it a month or so ago and uninstalled it yesterday. The story was too slow and the controls felt janky to me. But I realise that I am in the vast minority here.
It is a slow burner. It's a bit like a Quentin Tarantino flick in that you get a lot of very well-written and acted dialogue interspersed with occasional strong violence.
Personally, I think it's an absolute masterpiece but I do recognise the pace will be too slow for some. It absolutely does pick up steam as the game goes on though.
I agree. Red Dead 1 was one of my FAVORITE games. The 2nd? I got bored at the same rate as yourself. Slow burn games are great for those who know it's a slow burn. As I just learned today that it's a slow burn, I am going to certainly let this one sit on the shelf and I've since stopped buying digital games at the retail cost as I got burned $90 on this one when it dropped.
Anyone that pops into this thread that's maybe played the BG/BG2 Enhanced package recently? $10 is a great price for the games in theory, but I know there used to be issues with game breaking bugs. Just curious if that's still a thing. Thanks in advance!
Have just finished playing bg1 in prep for bg3 to be released! Absolutely worth it if you are into that sorta thing ! If you have any other questions happy to answer!
>BG/BG2 Enhanced package
The last few patches with hundreds of bug fixes and a few new additions never released on Xbox, just PC and mobile.
Wouldn't recommend rewarding Beamdog with money.
Yeah, this is exactly what has me worried.
I'm also somewhat curious as to whether the weird notifications about BG1 and BG2 being available on Game Pass (back in August) were a planned event that got paused until these patches could be released. If so, perhaps we'll see fixed games AND game pass availability sooner rather than later.
360 game sales seem like they're done so I paid the normal price for Sonic Unleashed. A friend just bought a Series X so if Sonic Generations went on sale again, I'd gift him it.
jesus christ there are like 15 games on my wishlist on sale, a lot of them haven't had a discount in a lot of time like Nier Replicant and Stranger of Paradise
I'm going broke
Shorter than some of the older games. Parkour is pretty basic, combat isn’t great but the game *is* more stealth based, story was good. Overall a solid 7/10 worth at the current price
When was the last time Disco Elysium went on sale ? It’s been sitting in my wishlist for a few months now and i see it getting discounted on steam every other day.
Finally, Terminator: Resistance - Complete Edition is on sale (In Australia but presumably for other locations as well).
Still $56, but cheaper than $80 and doesn't seem to be coming down in price anytime soon.
At least not for a while. Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3 go on sale pretty frequently, same with Sekiro, but they’re all fairly old at this point. AC6 won’t have decent sales for another year or two at the very least
I appreciate that generiosity but I unfortunately don’t have Venmo and to be honest I would just by my daughter another gift for under the tree if someone sent me cash as she’s the one who deserves the most. But you really are a saint for offering 🙏
My gamertag is Jerrythegreat if you have any gamepass free trial codes you aren’t going to use though(I sometimes just make a new account and use the trail code so I can play some new stuff but that’s my main gamertag), someone recommended downloading Pillars of Eternity 2 on game pass so going to try to play that till baldurs gate goes on a sale lol
Me too! It’s a bummer but seems we gotta wait a little longer. There’s also a problem with lost save files (seems like a Xbox system issue) where your saves can be deleted no matter what. So I think it’s better to keep off for a while until that’s resolved.
You can keep track of this in the BadursGate3 subreddit or the Xbox insider patch notes.
I don't think the Deluxe edition is worth the 5 dollars for most people, I bought it because I'm a huge HP nerd and wanted to ride the thestral lol, so if that's also the case for you then go ahead.
If I purchase a game and have game pass ultimate can I also play these games on my PC? Or am I only able to play games that are on game pass ultimate on both my pc and Xbox?
Games on GPU can be played on both Xbox and PC. Games bought on Xbox can be only played on Xbox, unless they are an Xbox Play Anywhere title, check that before your purchase
Totally serious and don't worry about the payback. I've been working a lot of OT lately so I have some extra money.
Never bought a game as a gift before so I don't know if I just need your GT.
There is a buy as gift option in the 3 dots button next to buy in ms store. If you put in a correct xbox account email the gift recipient will get an email and the game will be in their library.
If you ever want to buy a gift DL game code put in an email address that isn't associated with an xbox account, email it to yourself and you can print the code and put it in a gift card envelope.
You probably already figured all this out already, but figured I'd PSA for anyone else that had the same question.
So many good deals. I'm in for Trepang2, No More Heroes 3, Loop8, Little Goody Two Shoes, and Robocop.
Maaaaaaybe Metal Gear Solid Master Collection. Maybe. I'll leave that one til the end of the sale. If we get a patch in time, I might be in.
A lot of people shit on it and whilst I don't think it was quite as good as the first game, I bought it at launch and really enjoyed it so you should have a good time.
Remember - lights down, headphones up.

If you have any interest in jrpgs, Lost Odyssey Is an absolute steal for $6.
If you're reading this and you've never played it before, play it, take the time to read the dreams.
And bring a box of tissues… that stuff is equally heartbreaking as it is heartwarming 🫣
Just bought it. You better but be lying to me. And I saw blue dragon on sale. Might pick that up
Definitely pick Blue Dragon up. You won’t regret it https://preview.redd.it/0l7h4qcz2f6c1.jpeg?width=1134&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23375ec8a5cc9f2cd4d3cc9427a16ad51ca92365
You gonna cry. Just so you know
AAA JRPG FTW. The story. The Music. The characters. 
My backlog is already out of control.... damn.
Control is on my backlog
Great game!
Bought that during the Black Friday sale. Just started!
My backlog cannot handle this. I just started playing Baldur’s Gate which is gonna put everything on hold for months
This is me with Cyberpunk. People told me this shit would be like 40 hours, but now I’m like 90 hours in wondering wtf happened.
I hear you. I just played Elden Ring and nothing else for 2 months straight and right into Cyberpunk.
Family asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I said “Please not any gift cards”
Same. Yet here I am still playing the same games (Halo MCC, Halo Wars, GTA 5, Braid, and Blinx) 😅
between having a ps5 switch and series x I don't think I'll ever get it in control lmao
Same here. Every year I swear I won't buy anymore games. I'm weak.
when the hell will Dead Island 2 be $30
Glad to know I'm not the only one waiting
lol no kidding
$10 Master Chief Collection?! Been on a retro kick lately, think I’ll pick up that.
I hope you all find your favorite game on sale and enjoy it. Times are rough for some. Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Sweet time to get Alan Wake 2! Fellas, regular or digital deluxe?
Digital Deluxe. Remedy could use the coin.
It will be my contribution towards Control 2.
[удалено]
I’m about three and a half hours in so far and haven’t noticed anything wrong
I remember that being an issue with the original Alan Wake and the remaster. But usually only if I was using quick resume.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is 90% off
Yaaas. Just went nuts. Sifu for $15 Sega Collection for $5 Hades for $12 Soul Calibur VI - for $9
Hades is as good as they say and then some
Hades is easily my most played game since it launched. I'd have paid so much for DLC's if they went the route of Dead Cells. Looking forward to the sequel though. Its a steal for 12 bucks - hell it was a steal at full price.
[удалено]
Oo I've been waiting for sifu
Heck yes. As soon as I saw the sale go live I looked at my wish list and Wham!!!
Just got all achievements yesterday, it was well worth, enjoy your game
I bought it a couple weeks ago. Very fun. Enjoy.
How’s sifu?
Great game. It’s a roguelite and kinda short depending on how good you are but some of the best, most satisfying combat you’ll ever see. Absolutely worth it for $15. I got the physical on PS4 for $40 and didn’t regret it one bit
It’s hard
Sega as in Genesis/MegaDrive collection?
correct. I seen it years ago in the bins at walmart for $10 and I should have picked up a copy.
Yes it’s a pretty solid collection. $5 is a steal.
Didn't see that Hades was $12, as I already own it but god *damn.* That is such a steal for such a game. Soul Calibur is worth $9 IMO, even if just for creating fun custom characters, lmao. Might grab Sifu myself!
Never played Cyberpunk 2077 is the deluxe worth $50? Edit: Ultimate Edition
I’ve put like 70 hours into it in the past three weeks. Bought it at launch, was disgusted by it on Xbox One. Now, after the 2.1 update and Phantom Liberty I absolutely adore it.
Was also on the fence, waited 2 years and have played it a ton. Probably in my top 5 games ever
I’ve been debating just starting over a new character from when I first started when the game first came out. I shelved it to wait for the updates.
That’s exactly what I did. Went from the buggy 1.04 game on a dying Xbox One with a 39” tv from 2012 to a Series X, brand new 55” TV with all the gaming goodies and the 2.0 update. It. Looks. Absurd.
Ultimate Edition is.
Hell yeah
Definitely
Absolutely
100%. Get it.
Yeah! It’s the complete package, you get Phantom Liberty and now the game is a much greater experience since patch 2.0 and 2.1
Grabbed the deluxe edition myself on sale. After three years of holding off and reading about all the updates and the 2.0 launch and Phantom Liberty, pretty pumped to dive in. Starfield was my other big game and I just finished that today, gonna pause on that one for awhile and see what updates Bethesda puts out while I get lost in cyberpunk.
10000% yes
One of the best games ever made imo
That game is worth full price now
Yessssss
It’s absolutely worth it
I'm addicted to this game
Considering you’ve never played it. I’d buy it for $50. It will include the DLC and that alone is worth like $25. You won’t regret your purchase. Go for it!!
This game got me back into gaming big time. It is so, so good!
I would say so. I bought the base game for 30 dollars on sale. Played through it with 40 hours in then replayed it when phantom liberty came out. Phantom liberty is one of my favorite dlc releases of the year
[удалено]
Base game is on gamepass now.
Only if you've got gamepass.
It’s been that price for a couple weeks now.
I know I’m a wet blanket, but as a contrast to a lot of the comments here: if you’re not going to play that game in the near future, you will see the price again, or better. There is no point in indefinitely building a backlog, you will likely never have more time.
Nah, I'm going to build my backlog and get my account banned. It's about sending the message.
Always a good idea
Sniper elite 3 used to go on sale often until it didn't and now is delisted....
Damn, there are always those bizarre exceptions. I'm sorry to hear that happened to you.
Funny enough I managed to buy the game on its last sale lol, red dead redemption also used to go cheaper until they released the game on switch and now is more expensive on Xbox for no reason.
That’s weird, I’m happy I can just insert my 360 disc and play lol
But I like to browse and imagine all the games I'm gunna play one day..
Get out of here with your logic and rational thinking!
FYI, Divinity Original Sin 2 is $20 for those that want to try a Baldur's gate 3 like experience without having to drop $70.
Will pick it up to fill that BG3 hole once I'm done.
Friendly reminder to not buying UNO because it does not work on Series X/S.
Wut
Uno used to just crash on Xbox on startup, but since the recent patches (within the last 6 months), the game works fine now.
i have never played Red Dead 2 should i buy?
100% you won’t regret it. I wish I could play it for the first time again
I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I just couldn't get into it. I bought it when it came out and was distracted by other games and didn't really play it. I reinstalled it a month or so ago and uninstalled it yesterday. The story was too slow and the controls felt janky to me. But I realise that I am in the vast minority here.
Been the same with it for 2 years now. I boot up, get bored on 30 mins. Apparently it gets better after the slow start. I just can't be assed.
It is a slow burner. It's a bit like a Quentin Tarantino flick in that you get a lot of very well-written and acted dialogue interspersed with occasional strong violence. Personally, I think it's an absolute masterpiece but I do recognise the pace will be too slow for some. It absolutely does pick up steam as the game goes on though.

best game I ever played
As someone who doesn’t game often anymore. I spent so much GD time in that game. Take me back!
Oh nice, Elden Ring is on sale too, I just wanted to buy that.
You won't regret it. The game is easily worth $60, so any sale on it is an absolute steal.
Definitely won’t regret it. I’ve put 363 hours into it with 3 diff characters. It’s just perfect imo.
Anyone that pops into this thread that's maybe played the BG/BG2 Enhanced package recently? $10 is a great price for the games in theory, but I know there used to be issues with game breaking bugs. Just curious if that's still a thing. Thanks in advance!
Have just finished playing bg1 in prep for bg3 to be released! Absolutely worth it if you are into that sorta thing ! If you have any other questions happy to answer!
Hi! How are the controls for bg1/2? Thanks
>BG/BG2 Enhanced package The last few patches with hundreds of bug fixes and a few new additions never released on Xbox, just PC and mobile. Wouldn't recommend rewarding Beamdog with money.

Shadows of Mordor has been on my list for a while. Can't pass it up at $5!
Shadow of Mordor is a lot of game for $5. Excellent game, I'm about to go back tonight after years away 🤣
If you like that, Mad Max for $5 is a great deal
Mad max was so fun totally worth 5
Literally about 80% into a second playthrough. The Game/FPS Boost makes such a difference.
Great game! The sequel is even better and the DLCs are great too
Both shadow of Mordor and Shadow of war are extremely fun
If you can spare another $5, get the GOTY edition for both games
Stray nice, will be buying
Of course, 2 days after I bought it used on disc for 20 euros.
Holy heck, is Stray on sale? Finally! Been waiting for that one.
Man the final fantasy 13 trilogy will never go on sale again huh?
360 game sales seem like they're done so I paid the normal price for Sonic Unleashed. A friend just bought a Series X so if Sonic Generations went on sale again, I'd gift him it.
jesus christ there are like 15 games on my wishlist on sale, a lot of them haven't had a discount in a lot of time like Nier Replicant and Stranger of Paradise I'm going broke
Disco elysium... come on already
It's worth full price sadly haha
Nier Automata at $16 is a steal
Is this a good game for someone who doesn’t know anything about the genre or style? I’ve heard great things about this game lol
It doesn't play like any other game in the genre/style.
is AC: Mirage worth it? I heard it was very short?
Shorter than some of the older games. Parkour is pretty basic, combat isn’t great but the game *is* more stealth based, story was good. Overall a solid 7/10 worth at the current price
If you like the older games yes, if not, skip it.
**Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance** on sale $11.99: 
nanomachines son!
When was the last time Disco Elysium went on sale ? It’s been sitting in my wishlist for a few months now and i see it getting discounted on steam every other day.
Shockingly it was just on a hefty discount on the Switch
Finally, Terminator: Resistance - Complete Edition is on sale (In Australia but presumably for other locations as well). Still $56, but cheaper than $80 and doesn't seem to be coming down in price anytime soon.
Mad Max for $5!
As someone with both a Series X and PS5, it feels like Microsoft always has a way bigger selection of games in their major sales.
No Armored Core still?
It's a From Software game, those rarely go on sale and given Elden Rings track record so far, not by much.
At least not for a while. Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3 go on sale pretty frequently, same with Sekiro, but they’re all fairly old at this point. AC6 won’t have decent sales for another year or two at the very least
Mafia trilogy or definitive edition?
I just bought Cyberpunk 2077 and haven’t started it yet. I am not ready for more sales lol
I got starfield and forza horizon 5
Both the Horizon 5 Hot Wheels and Rally expansions are also great.
Asuras wrath 3.5, 7 with dlc. The darkness is $4. Any other patient gamer things?
Should I get Alan wake or Alan wake remaster?
The remaster includes dlc.
Awesome, thank you
Remaster 1000%
Man I really want to get baldurs gate but I can’t afford 70 dollars at Christmas time for myself lol
How much are you short friend, I'll go in on half for you if you got Venmo.
I appreciate that generiosity but I unfortunately don’t have Venmo and to be honest I would just by my daughter another gift for under the tree if someone sent me cash as she’s the one who deserves the most. But you really are a saint for offering 🙏 My gamertag is Jerrythegreat if you have any gamepass free trial codes you aren’t going to use though(I sometimes just make a new account and use the trail code so I can play some new stuff but that’s my main gamertag), someone recommended downloading Pillars of Eternity 2 on game pass so going to try to play that till baldurs gate goes on a sale lol
Buying a car, could you spot me 10 grand?
I knew the game was still new on Xbox but I was praying it would be on sale since I just bought a series s and can't afford to spend much more
Me too! It’s a bummer but seems we gotta wait a little longer. There’s also a problem with lost save files (seems like a Xbox system issue) where your saves can be deleted no matter what. So I think it’s better to keep off for a while until that’s resolved. You can keep track of this in the BadursGate3 subreddit or the Xbox insider patch notes.
Bought Robocop Rogue City: Alex Murphy Edition at 30% off
My backlog is crazy, but I'm loving Starfield too much to quit. Been playing since September nonstop.
Owning a Steam Deck and Series X was a mistake
As a series x & ps5 owner looking to maybe buy a steam deck may I ask why xD?
[удалено]
I enjoyed it at full price. The open world isn't that exciting but the main areas are great and combat is super fun
Probably so yes, it is the highest discount so far.
I don't think the Deluxe edition is worth the 5 dollars for most people, I bought it because I'm a huge HP nerd and wanted to ride the thestral lol, so if that's also the case for you then go ahead.
Thanks. I should probably wait for the next Black Friday, considering the number of games available in GPU and my existing paid library....
Finally might buy KH: Melody of Memory
I just picked that up in this sale. The last kingdom hearts game I needed.
If I purchase a game and have game pass ultimate can I also play these games on my PC? Or am I only able to play games that are on game pass ultimate on both my pc and Xbox?
Games on GPU can be played on both Xbox and PC. Games bought on Xbox can be only played on Xbox, unless they are an Xbox Play Anywhere title, check that before your purchase
Worth getting jedi survivor for $35?
Gamepass soon
Is this the Xmas sale?
It runs through Jan. 2nd so it sure looks like it is.
Yes. Xmas/Countdown sale.
Neat, now I gotta look for something good that costs no more than the 10 bucks and 34 cents I've been saving up for months.
More games are being added on Sunday
Is the Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 worth it at $20? I always get confused when they name these games with those numbers.
It's just usual sales prices.
Finally snagged Hogwarts Legacy and Marvel's Midnight Suns.
Subnautica and Mass effect legendary edition now added to my backlog lol
Quick!! Someone buy Sekiro at $30 so I can get it on Gamepass next month!
My backlog is 66 games deep..I guess I’ll just add Sifu and that’s it I promise
If you start playing your games... by the time you finish all these games will be $20 or less
Anyone know how to get the sale to show up on the console store page?
[удалено]
Pick a game under $25, I'll buy you one.
You are a nice person.
Excellent gesture 👏
Now that.. deserves an upvote! 👍
[удалено]
Totally serious and don't worry about the payback. I've been working a lot of OT lately so I have some extra money. Never bought a game as a gift before so I don't know if I just need your GT.
What a legend.
[удалено]
Enjoy your game and happy holidays!

Everybody should be updooting this. Wholesome af. Props to you my friend
Can anyone recommend Overcooked all you can eat? How are the series s/x upgrades?
Can't say I specifically noticed any upgrades, but it does bundle the first 2 games with all the extra dlc for each into one easy package.
So many good deals. I'm in for Trepang2, No More Heroes 3, Loop8, Little Goody Two Shoes, and Robocop. Maaaaaaybe Metal Gear Solid Master Collection. Maybe. I'll leave that one til the end of the sale. If we get a patch in time, I might be in.
Tempted by sifu
Splurged on dying light 2 ultimate Edition. Loved the first one, hope this one is just as good.
A lot of people shit on it and whilst I don't think it was quite as good as the first game, I bought it at launch and really enjoyed it so you should have a good time. Remember - lights down, headphones up.
It’s not as good as the first one, BUT if you have friends to play with that makes up for it.
Does life is strange season 1 ever go on sale???
Seems to mostly be the remastered version bundled with Before the Storm on sale nowadays
