The weekend is officially here, and we’ve rounded up the best deals you can find! Discover the best deals for Sunday, October 6, below:
EA Sports College Football 25 is available on sale for the first time this weekend. This game marked the first college football title from EA since NCAA 14, as a lawsuit regarding player NIL (name, image, and likeness) prevented the company from producing further entries. Many of the older modes have returned to College Football 25, including Dynasty, Team Builder, and Road to Glory. Of course, dozens of new features have been added, including Stadium Pulse, which creates challenging road environments in college football’s biggest stadiums.
As part of an early Prime Day deal, Amazon has dropped the price of the PS5 Slim by $50. This goes for both the digital and physical editions of the console, with Best Buy also offering an NBA 2K bundle on sale. It’s the perfect time to buy a PS5, with games like Astro Bot and Silent Hill 2 now available on the console.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is also on sale, priced now at $49.99. This matches the previous low, which occurred during the Days of Play sale earlier this year. Spider-Man 2 features both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable characters, with a whole new area of New York to explore. You can swing through the city with new suit abilities like Web Wings and take down criminals all around. You’ll need to be prepared, as both Kraven the Hunter and the symbiote Venom are prepared to take you down and rule over NYC.
Visions of Mana recently released at the end of August, and it’s available on sale for the first time this weekend. This is the first new Mana game in almost two decades, starring a cast of characters on a quest to save the world. In our 8/10 review, we stated, “Visions of Mana finally brings the long-dormant classic RPG series into the modern age, looking great and playing even better thanks to multi-layered class and skill systems that interact in clever ways.”
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is officially on sale at an all-time low price. This sequel to 2020’s Final Fantasy VII Remake brings Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, and Red XIII outside of Midgar for the very first time, with Sephiroth looming and moving in on his goals. This experience offers well over 100 hours of content, with 36 sidequests and a main story over 40 hours long. If you haven’t played Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, now is the time to score one of the best 2024 titles out there at a discount.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder was one of the best games of 2023, with a diverse offering of levels and abilities to discover. The Wonder Flower defies all expectations throughout each level, allowing for a Mario experience like no other. In our 9/10 review, we stated that Wonder “looks and plays like the true next step for 2D Mario platformers.”
Hot on the heels of the new Meta Quest 3S announcement, the Quest 3 has officially been marked down by a not insignificant amount. The 512GB model, which previously retailed for $649.99, is now priced at $499.99. The Quest 3 is a superior headset to the new Quest 3S. It has much better optics, with a higher resolution, higher FOV, and a thinner pancake lens design, and it boasts a higher maximum storage capacity.
Sweep the Board! is the latest game from Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba-, focusing on a fun, party-like title that is extremely similar to Mario Party. You play as Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and the rest of the Demon Slayer cast as they traverse through multiple party boards and complete minigames against each other. We’ve seen the Nintendo Switch version drop to $29.99, but this is the first price drop for PS5.
Luigi’s Mansion 3 is available this weekend at Woot for only $39.99. This is one of the best games available on Nintendo Switch, filled with charm and all sorts of fun puzzles. With Halloween right around the corner, there’s never been a better time to pick up the game if you haven’t already!
After having sold out for most of September, the attachable Disc Drive for PS5 Slim / PS5 Pro is back in stock at Amazon. If you plan on purchasing a PS5 Pro this November, you will need one of these to play any of your physical games. The drive will require you to connect to the internet once to register it, but after that you can use it offline.
