Today’s edition of the Dealmaster is heavy on gaming deals: surfing the ongoing wave of PC game discounts from Steam’s summer sale, we also have a new batch of PlayStation and Switch deals from GameStop’s midyear sale, which began on Monday and runs through July 10.
While many of the deals in this latest promotion aren’t worth the plunge—and while GameStop, the company, continues to be a bit of a meme—we have found numerous offers worth noting, which we’ve rounded up for you in our video games deals section below. As of this writing, many of the offers have also been price-matched at Amazon, if you already pay for a Prime membership and would prefer to shop there.
Among the standout offers here are Switch exclusives Super Mario Odyssey and Fire Emblem: Three Houses for $35 each. While these aren’t the absolute lowest discounts we’ve seen in either game’s case, discounts below $40 for first-party Switch games have been rare outside of Black Friday season. Odyssey remains one of the better entries in the Mario library, while Three Houses is a tense tactical RPG couched in a surprisingly layered (if deeply anime) political thriller. Note that GameStop says these two deals will only last through July 6, after which they’ll bump back up to a more typical sale price for $40.
