There’s a healthy swarm of discounts buzzing across every platform today, from indie gems to AAA heavy-hitters. Whether you’re into sword-swinging epics, musical dungeon crawlers, or cosmic cowboy chaos, there’s something here worth chucking onto your backlog. Let’s dig into the weird, wonderful, and wallet-friendly highlights for this very rainy Thursday.
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 28th birthday of Fighters Megamix, the Sega Saturn’s answer to Smash Bros before that was even a thing. Sega of the ’90s was especially 3D fightin’ obsessed, so the concept here was simple—smoosh a bunch of brawlers from the Virtua Fighter series, Fighting Vipers, and other games into one punch-a-rrific package. I remember being particularly stoked with the ten weirdo unlockable characters, like some Sonic the Fighters contestants, the palm tree from AM2’s logo, a gun-packing Janet from Virtua Cop, and a *double checks memory* Daytona USA NASCAR.

Nintendo kicks things off with Hogwarts Legacy for A$59. The game includes a sly nod to the Harry Potter films with the moving staircases built from the same blueprints as the original set. Meanwhile, Crypt of the NecroDancer is just A$6.00, a steal for a rhythm-based roguelike whose composer Danny Baranowsky hid a remixed Zelda-style theme deep in the soundtrack.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
On Xbox Series X, Resident Evil 4 slashes its price to A$31.40. This remake revives the fan-favourite inventory “attache case” system, which was originally inspired by Tetris. Mass Effect Legendary Edition, now just A$9.90, lets players romance aliens and punch annoying reporters, something BioWare gleefully leaned into after memes flooded the fandom.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
Over on PlayStation 5, Elden Ring: Nightreign may only be 9% off at A$64.00, but it’s a fresh and massive sandbox filled with my kind of masochism and regret. Meanwhile, Star Wars Outlaws is A$40.00 and features a BD-unit droid originally designed for The Mandalorian but scrapped due to budget constraints.

Purchase Cheap for PC
Finally, PC players can snag Red Dead Redemption 2 for A$22.40, a game so detailed it tracks horse testicle shrinkage in cold weather (yes, really). Or saddle up with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown at A$29, a criminally under-bought platformer.
