Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate it! Even if you personally don’t, no doubt you’ll still be able to rejoice in the bountiful sales that are going ahead right now, because they are huge.
Currently on Xbox, not only is there the Lunar New Year sale happening, but there’s a load of discounts from Deals With Gold, Spotlight, and Publisher sales going on all at the same time, creating the perfect storm of temptations to clog up your backlog even more. Hey, I’m not one to judge, but we both know it’s true. Anyway, there’s some real highlights to pick up here if you haven’t already.
Before we go on, be sure to check out some of our favourite Halo Infinite wins and fails below.
Now, this article would be absolutely colossal if I tried to list every single game on sale (although you can check out a complete list here), so here’s just a few notable mentions. The vast majority of the Assassin’s Creed series is up for grabs, including Valhalla, which is 60% off (for the Deluxe edition). And, perhaps just to rub in the fact that Microsoft is set to acquire the 90s PlayStation icon, a load of Crash Bandicoot games are on sale too, including the entire Quadrilogy Bundle - 50% off.
Far Cry 6 is sure to be one on many people’s radars, and you can currently buy either the standard, Gold, Deluxe or Ultimate edition for 40% off. Do keep in mind with this one though that Ubisoft’s subscription service, Ubisoft+, is headed to Xbox sometime in the future, and you'll be able to play Far Cry 6 as part of the service. The exact same goes for Watch Dogs: Legion - the standard and Deluxe editions are 70% off, but again, don’t forget about Ubisoft+.
Halo is a hot topic at the minute, what with its (admittedly divisive) TV adaptation well on its way, and if you were craving a dip into the games themselves, you’re in luck, because a bunch of them are discounted at the minute, including Infinite, at 20% off.
Also, if for some reason you really wanted, Battlefield 2042 is on sale - 40% off on Xbox One, and 35% off on Series X/S. I don’t know why you’d want to buy that, given the state that it’s in, but hey, you have the information now. Do with it what you will.
Make sure you act fast, though - the Lunar New Year sale ends tomorrow, and the others are set to end on 7 February, so grab your bargains now if anything catches your eye.
