Amazon is running a buy one, get one 50% off sale on a variety of PS5, Xbox Series X, and Switch games. A little bit of everything is included in the catalog, with newer hits like Stellar Blade and Dragon’s Dogma 2 listed alongside older favorites like Starfield, Marvel’s Midnight Suns, and Minecraft. If you can’t find two video games to cash in on the offer, you can browse the entire B1G1 50% off catalog where you’ll find eligible books, board games, toys, and more. Once two eligible products are in your cart, the discount will automatically apply to the cheapest product.
Amazon’s sale is in response to Target’s promotion that started earlier this week. Make sure to check out our roundups of Target offers, including the video game sale, as eligible titles differ from Amazon.
Target’s B1G1 50% off sale
Editor’s Note: If the discount is not applied in your cart, chances are you added a game sold by a third-party seller to your cart. During these sales, resellers often try to one-up Amazon by dropping prices to beat Amazon’s deal. These can become the default option. However, this deal only applies to games that are shipped and sold by Amazon. As such, you’ll need to click “Other sellers on Amazon” and click “Add to Cart” next to the official Amazon listing.

Stellar Blade is one of the newest games included in Amazon’s sale. The fast-pace action game earned solid reviews, so if you’re looking for flashy combat with heaps of content to explore, consider giving the new PS5 exclusive a look. For even more action, you can pair Stellar Blade with Dragon’s Dogma 2. The long-awaited sequel made a splash when it dropped earlier this year, giving fans another fantastical RPG that improved on nearly everything seen in the original. Prefer something a bit more retro? Sea of Stars is another great option, as it gives your eyes gorgeous pixel art to enjoy as you unravel the sprawling RPG’s mysterious story.
Best Xbox Game Deals
Starfield is included in the B1G1 50% off event, but you’ll need to click “other sellers on Amazon” and choose the $63 listing that is sold and shipped directly from Amazon. However, there’s another wrinkle at play here. Instead of taking advantage of the BOGO promotion with Starfield, you could opt for the third-party listing that’s shipped from Amazon and costs $33.
Other notable Xbox deals include TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants for $25 (down from $30), Sea of Stars, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage for $40 (down from $50). Consider picking up the latter if you’re excited about the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and the former if you want old-school, beat-‘em-up action.
Best Switch Game Deals
There aren’t as many Switch games in the Amazon event as there are PS5 and Xbox Series X games, but you can still check out Sea of Stars, Star Wars: Heritage Pack, and Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1. The Star Wars: Heritage Pack is a particular standout, as it features seven classic games (including Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and Jedi Academy.
