With sales this good, your pile of shame’s about to become a colossal pillar of discounts. This last-gasp-of-April haul packs a punch across all platforms, whether you’re craving tactical drama, nostalgic chaos, or sprawling open worlds. Let’s cut straight to the gems lighting up the digital shelves this week. It’s the usual case of grab ’em before they’re goneski.
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, today’s a day of sombre remembrance for two consoles. 28 years ago, we witnessed the discontinuance of Sega’s Game Gear, a battery-guzzling beast that sold 10.62M units and I fondly remember for its Sonic games and extravagant TV Tuner attachment. It’s also been 23 years since we bade farewell to the Nintendo 64, which delivered phenomenal four-player action, groundbreaking 3D AAAs, and a highscore of 32.93M units sold. I am not shedding a sentimental tear over it. That’s just…Control Stick dust in my eye.

Nintendo Switch fans have plenty to cheer about, but Nier: Automata: End of Yorha Edition stands out at A$27. Not only is it a masterclass in action storytelling, but it’s made by the enigmatic Yoko Taro (aka giant moon head mask). For something more old-school, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (A$15) offers a ridiculous amount of content and remains the last title to feature the fan-favourite “Prowler Mode”. Yes, you can fight monsters as a cat.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, Resident Evil 4 (A$32) redefines the classic with top-tier modern horror flair. The original version was so influential it practically invented the “over-the-shoulder” camera used in modern third-person shooters. Persona 5 Royal (A$39), meanwhile, is dripping with style. Its devs created over 30 unique jazz tracks to match the mood of each location and dungeon.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
For PS5, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (A$57) builds on decades of lore, and its chocobo-breeding side quests are a sly nod to the 1997 classic. Tales of Arise (A$31) brings a different JRPG spectacle, but here’s the kicker: its charming mid-scene chats are all fully voiced for the first time in series history.
