Amazon’s Prime Day is here in a big way, and while we’ve already covered the biggest PlayStation and Switch games on sale, it’s Microsoft’s turn.
Aside from savings on big releases like Assassin’s Creed: Shadows and Split Fiction, there’s a nifty voucher code for Newegg to help you save on Xbox Game Pass Core, too.
But, looking away from Amazon, Newegg is also offering 12 months of Xbox Game Pass Core for $59.99, with a saving of $15 with the voucher code ‘FTTEU7268’.
Core includes titles like Control, Dishonored 2, DOOM: Eternal, Fallout 4 and Batman: Arkham Knight, as well as Xbox franchises like Halo, Grounded, Hellblade, and Psychonauts.

While Xbox’s reduced physical game output means there are fewer games available than its console rivals, there are still some great games to choose from.
Assassin’s Creed: Shadows only launched in recent months, and the absolutely colossal title is gearing up for an expansion later this year.
It’s a gorgeous game, and one that you could very easily get lost in, whether that’s from exploring or customizing your hideout.
Next up, Split Fiction is highly likely to be mentioned when the topic of Game of the Year arises toward the end of 2025, and for good reason. This co-op adventure is a spiritual successor to It Takes Two, itself an unforgettable adventure.
This time around, Hazelight has conjured up a more bizarre plot that afford even more gameplay variety, many of which led to my jaw dropping when I played it. For $35, it’s a steal.
Elsewhere, Roadcraft is a physics playground that lets you rebuild areas, construct bridges, and manage logistics in a way that’ll speak to sim fans. It’s just $33.99 now.
Sticking with sim titles, you can get half off of Farming Simulator 25, a game that needs no introduction if you’re a fan but is now at a price that’s sure to tempt anyone crop-curious.
On the opposite end of the realism spectrum, you can get Squirrel with a Gun for under $20. A sandbox title that, as the name suggests, lets you loose as a squirrel (with a gun), it’s a one-of-a-kind experience that blends chaotic action and puzzle rooms.
Next up, Life is Strange: Double Exposure focuses on Max Caulfield and her efforts to save her friend Safi by moving between two timelines. It’s down to just $24.99.
At the same price, Hogwarts Legacy is at one of its lowest prices in some time, according to CamelCamelCamel, so you can sling spells around the iconic wizarding school, while No More Heroes 3 Day 1 Edition is just $18.99 and includes a 70-page artbook and a soundtrack CD.
Then there’s 43% off WWE 2K25, which is jam-packed with content for grappling fans and now just $39.99, while Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake is down to $34.99 with a 42% discount. Phew!
For more deals, we’ve found a price cut on the Xbox Series S, as well as an Xbox bundle that doesn’t include a console.
