From platformers to RPGs and survival horror, these discounts are serious (and we're not even into Amazon Prime Big Deal Days officially yet). So check back soon for even more!

This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I'm breaking out the birthday fairy bread for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, the 25-year-old classic that inspired me to get outside and kick-push for reals. This Y2K sequel didn't simply scoop up a Nokia 3310 and phone it in; this blew minds with bigger levels, gnarlier tricks, and the addition of manuals that let you link monster combos like never before.

I still remember huddling around a CRT with mates, trading the controller back and forth as we tried to outdo each other's score runs in "School II". Obviously, the soundtrack became the anthem of a generation, too, and the create-a-skater mode let us inject our own flavour into a sport we had no IRL skills in. Truly, this was a cultural detonation that cemented a soon-to-be sprawling empire that's still going strong today.

Aussie birthdays for notable games.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

On Switch, Super Mario Party Jamboree has the kind of minigame chaos that has destroyed friendships since the N64 era. Fun fact: Nintendo originally tested Mario Party prototypes on actual board games before coding anything. Persona 5 Tactica also deserves attention, shrinking Atlus' beloved RPG world into clever grid-based battles. Its chibi art style was a deliberate pivot to attract new fans who might be scared off by the 100-hour epics.
  • Super Mario Party Jamboree (-27%) – A$58 – Party antics at their best with returning and new minigames.
  • Persona 5 Tactica (-74%) – A$24.20 – Lowest ever for Atlus’ tactical spin-off.
  • Sonic Forces (-49%) – A$30.50 – A divisive but cheap blue blur entry.
  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (-20%) – A$64 – The must-have kart racer that's still totally worth it.
  • Minecraft (-15%) – A$34 – Bedrock classic must-own on a modest discount.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

Over on Series X, Kingdom Come II Gold is looking strong, built on CryEngine for even more historical authenticity than its predecessor. The studio actually consulted historians to ensure you are eating, dressing and fighting exactly like a 15th-century Czech. Resident Evil 4, meanwhile, needs no introduction. What blew my mind was learning that the famous chainsaw enemy was inspired by producer Shinji Mikami's fear of masked slashers in European horror films.
  • Kingdom Come II Gold (-39%) – A$88 – Ambitious medieval sequel at a fresh discount.
  • Resident Evil 4 (-44%) – A$33.40 – The survival horror GOAT remade and now half price.
  • Split Fiction (-37%) – A$44 – Story-driven experiment for those chasing co-op originality.
  • Maneater (-54%) – A$27.50 – Shark RPG silliness at its cheapest.
  • Metaphor: ReFantazio (-45%) – A$63.20 – Atlus’ killer fantasy RPG discounted and demanding to be played.

Pure Scores for PlayStation

PS5 players should not ignore Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza, a spin-off that takes Kazuma Kiryu's spirit and sails it straight into the Pacific. The devs confirmed they even scanned traditional Okinawan dance moves for accuracy. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is now the definitive way to play. Fun trivia: Keanu Reeves loved the project so much that CD Projekt extended Johnny Silverhand's role once he signed on.
  • Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza (-31%) – A$69 – Yakuza goes Hawaiian in this lowest-price debut.
  • Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition (-35%) – A$69 – Night City’s complete package with expansions bundled in.
  • Stellar Blade (-21%) – A$99 – A sleek action showcase at a rare discount.
  • Dead Space (-78%) – A$24 – A terrifying sci-fi classic rebuilt for modern consoles.
  • NBA 2K25 (-84%) – A$19 – Slam dunk of a price, lowest ever for the new season.

Purchase Cheap for PC

On PC, Tomb Raider: Def. Survivor Trilogy is a no-brainer if you missed Lara's modern origin arc. Meanwhile, Viewfinder is the other standout, a puzzle game where photographs reshape the world. The core mechanic came from a university project that wowed indie showcases long before release.
