What's actually worth picking up
Here's the lowdown on the standout deals in this sale. Silksong's discount is modest at 20% off, but given how long players waited for this one, seeing it on sale at all still feels like an event. The original Hollow Knight goes even deeper, dropping to $7.50 from $15.00, which is a genuinely hard offer to pass up if you haven't played it yet.

The real steal of the whole sale, though, is Disco Elysium: The Final Cut at $11.99, down from $39.99. That's 70% off one of the most distinctive RPGs ever made. Slay the Spire hits $6.24 from $24.99, and Balatro sits at $12.74 from $15.00.
The under-the-radar picks
UFO 50 at $18.74 deserves a mention for anyone who hasn't taken the plunge. It's a collection of 50 fictional retro games from a fictional games company, and it plays as well as that premise sounds ambitious. BALL x PIT at $9.99 is the Switch 2 exclusive on the list, a physics-driven adventure game that's been quietly building a following since launch.
No Man's Sky at $23.99 from $59.99 is also worth flagging. The Switch 2 edition runs significantly better than the original Switch version, and at 60% off, it's the easiest entry point the game has ever had on Nintendo hardware.
The sale runs through June 7 at 11:59 PM PT. After that, prices revert. There's no indication Nintendo plans to extend it.

Why this sale lands at the right time
The Switch 2 launched with a strong lineup, but the eShop back catalog is where the real value lives for players who skipped titles the first time around. A sale like this, covering both Switch and Switch 2 editions of several games, makes the upgrade argument easier for anyone still sitting on the fence about the new hardware.
What most players miss in these sales is the depth beyond the big names. The full Indie Sale covers hundreds of titles, meaning there's almost certainly something outside this top ten worth hunting down before the deadline hits.
