Best PlayStation Deal

Why We Love This: This is the biggest markdown we’ve seen for the standard edition of Baldur’s Gate 3, which is rarely discounted. Even at its regular price, this game is a must-have. Praised by players and critics alike, Larian Studios’ RPG masterpiece was hailed as Mashable’s second-favorite game of 2023. Assistant editor Chance Townsend celebrated its unique replayability, noting, "No two playthroughs will ever be the same, captivating both seasoned and casual gamers like no game before it." The digital deluxe edition, which includes sweet extras like a Divinity Bard Song Pack and more, is also discounted. Don’t miss it at the PlayStation Store.

Best Nintendo Switch Deal

Why We Love This: Exclusive to Walmart, this bundle includes a chic turquoise, leaf-patterned Nintendo Switch Lite and a digital copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
