The headline numbers
The 95% tier is where things get particularly hard to believe. Battlefield 4 Premium Edition, Battlefield 1 Revolution, and Battlefield V Definitive Edition are all sitting at $1.99 to $2.49. Battlefield 2042 Elite Edition goes a bit higher at $4.99, but that is still 95% off a game that launched at a full premium price. The entire Battlefield back catalog is effectively pocket change right now.
At 90% off, the list stretches across genres and budgets. Control Ultimate Edition is $3.99. Borderlands 3 is $5.99. Back 4 Blood: Ultimate Edition drops to $9.99. Gotham Knights Deluxe sits at $8.99. Star Wars: Squadrons, which still holds up as one of the best VR-compatible space games around, is just $3.99.
Here is a look at some of the strongest 90-95% picks currently in the sale:
The 85% and 80% tier is no slouch either
The deeper discounts grab the headlines, but the 85% bracket has some heavy hitters. Hogwarts Legacy: Digital Deluxe Edition, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, and Alan Wake Remastered are all in there. For anyone who missed any of those during their original runs, these are real opportunities.
Drop down to 80% and the list includes Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition, Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak, Deathloop, and Ghostrunner 2. The key here is that these are not obscure filler titles padding out a discount list. These are games people actually talk about.
Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition at 80% off is the kind of deal that ends arguments about whether it is worth picking up. It is.
What this means for your backlog
Sales like this tend to reward patience, and this one does that in a big way. Titles like Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League and Immortals of Aveum launched to mixed commercial results, which makes their current prices feel less like a discount and more like a clearance. That is not necessarily a knock on the games themselves, but it does tell you something about how the market has moved.
For Xbox players building out a library on a budget, the Middle-earth: The Shadow Bundle at $6.99 (both Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War together) and the LEGO DC Super-Villains Deluxe at $7.49 are worth a look. The Sherlock Holmes double-dip with Chapter One and The Awakened both at $4.99 to $5.99 is a solid weekend's worth of detective work for under $12 combined.
What most players miss in sales this size is the bundle math. Buying the Metro Saga Bundle at $5.99 or the Middle-earth: The Shadow Bundle at $6.99 gets you significantly more playtime per dollar than any single-game purchase in this sale.
The sale runs for two weeks from today, so there is no need to panic-buy everything at once. Check our game reviews if you are on the fence about any of the bigger names before pulling the trigger.
