Hitman 3 | $30
Use promo code HITMAR3 at checkout
The first big game release of 2021 is a hit… and it’s about hits, no less. Hitman 3 is trilogy-capping assassination sandbox, and it has scored rave reviews from critics for pairing a stronger narrative focus with the consistently entertaining contract-killing antics of Agent 47.
Amazingly, you can already save half-off the list price on a digital copy from Eneba when you input promo code HITMAR3 at checkout. And the digital deluxe edition comes out to $44 when you use code HITMAR3DELUXE at checkout.

Marvel’s Avengers | $30
Released last fall, Marvel’s Avengers is a surprisingly good licensed game inspired by the superhero team, seemingly taking inspiration from the cinematic version of the comic team without exactly copying the style and storylines. Here, you’ll play as young Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) as you rebuild and take control of the scattered team, plus there’s an online co-op component and loads of unlockable costumes and gear. Save $30 at Amazon or Best Buy right now.
Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War (Digital) | $45-56
Another year, another Call of Duty – and this one mines some previously untold territory within the Black Ops sub-series in the 1980s. If you’re keen on digging into the latest intense campaign, multiplayer mayhem, or Zombies co-op shenanigans, you can save $15 off an Xbox One digital copy from the Microsoft Store right now. Meanwhile, the cross-gen digital version including the enhanced Xbox Series X/S release, is $56.
Xbox Live Gold (12 Months) | $50
Use promo code EMCETEU53 at checkout
Get your Xbox Series X, Series S, or Xbox One online for a full year with this $10 discount on an Xbox Live Gold membership from Newegg. Not only does Xbox Live Gold unlock online multiplayer for Xbox games, but it also earns you free games to download each month and keep for as long as your subscription stays active. Just use promo code EMCETEU53 at checkout. This code is valid through the end of the day.
Immortals Fenyx Rising | $30
If you’ve already played through Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or just prefer Greek mythology, give Immortals Fenyx Rising a spin. This open-world game hails from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey team and explores the source material with a lighthearted tone and clear influence from Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It just released in December and is already half off on Xbox One/Series X/S. (Note: the game was originally announced as Gods & Monsters and the Amazon listing curiously still shows that title!)
No Man’s Sky | $20
No Man’s Sky had one of the harshest launches of any game in recent memory, releasing amidst immense hype and then immediately incurring the wrath of the gaming community (sigh) for what was seen as false promises.
But here’s the thing: Hello Games kept working, and for the last few years the indie studio has gradually met and surpassed expectations to deliver the brilliant space exploration experience that so many wanted from the game. And if you haven’t played it, right now you can snag the Xbox One version for a mere $20 from Walmart and see what all of the (recent) fuss is about.
Borderlands 3 | $10
The long-awaited shoot-and-loot sequel Borderlands 3 might not have reinvented the wheel for Gearbox’s popular series, but it’s another fun and raucous shooter that’s best enjoyed with pals. We’re surprised to see it selling for just $10 at Best Buy right now for the standard version. That’s a hell of a deal, so if you’ve had even a scrap of fun with this series in the past, don’t pass up this bargain. It’s also enhanced on Xbox Series X or S if you’ve got ‘em.
Meanwhile, the Super Deluxe Edition with a bunch of add-on content packs is marked down to $20 at Amazon.
NBA 2K21 (Series X/S) | $43
2K Sports’ annual hoops franchise gets the new-gen treatment in NBA 2K21 for Xbox Series X and Series S, which features an array of visual and performance enhancements over the earlier Xbox One release. It’s already marked down $27 from list at Amazon.
Xbox Core Controller | $50
If you need another controller for your Xbox Series X/S or Xbox One and don’t mind waiting a while, Amazon is currently taking $10 off the price of the current version of the Xbox wireless gamepad in Robot White. The downside, however, is that it’s listed to ship in 1-2 months. We suspect that the wait won’t be quite that long, but you may need some patience to take advantage of these savings.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla | $30
The latest entry in Ubisoft’s open-world historical adventure series takes its cues from Nordic history, as you lead the Vikings into England in search of conquest. This version works on both Xbox One and the new Xbox Series X/S consoles, too, so you don’t have to worry about buying the game again or paying for an upgrade if you plan on snagging a new console soon. It’s $30 off.
Just Dance 2021 | $30
Get up and get moving in Just Dance 2021, the newest entry in Ubisoft’s annual dance series. Using a smartphone as your motion controller, you’ll match the on-screen moves shown in vivid scenes paired with hit songs like Lizzo’s “Juice” and The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.” It’s $20 off the list price at Amazon right now.
WD Black 5TB P10 Game Drive | $125
Running out of room for all of your downloaded and installed Xbox One games? Give yourself a bunch of breathing room with this WD Black P10 Game Drive, which has a sizable 5TB of space.
It plugs into your console via USB and can potentially hold a hundred of more games, depending on size. Right now, it’s $25 off the list price.
