Cyber Monday deals are wild this year, but some of the gaming discounts honestly feel like someone misclicked a decimal point and just rolled with it. If you’re looking to expand your library without expanding your budget, this is the moment. Big-name titles, massive bundles, and even a brand-new 2024 release have all dropped to eyebrow-raising prices.
Let’s dive into the biggest steals!
Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition – Now $8.93 (Save 87%)
Yes, you read that right. The Deluxe Edition of Hogwarts Legacy, normally $69.99, is going for just $8.93. You can get more than 100 hours of gameplay for the price of one underwhelming coffee.
Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action RPG set in the Wizarding World long before Harry Potter ever showed up. You play as a student with a mysterious connection to ancient magic, explore a fully realized Hogwarts, fly around on a broom, fight goblins and dark wizards, and basically live the wizard fantasy everyone secretly wants. The deluxe version also packs in extra cosmetics and early-access content that fans went wild for at launch.
For under nine bucks, it’s a no-brainer pickup.
XCOM 2 Collection – Now $6.94 (Save Up to 93%)
If you love strategy games, then this one is ridiculous value. The XCOM 2 Collection normally sits at $99.70, but Cyber Monday has slashed it to $6.94. That’s 93% off. It’s practically a charity event.
The collection includes XCOM 2, the War of the Chosen expansion, and all the DLC packs. It’s a beautifully punishing turn-based tactics game where humanity fights back against alien occupiers. For this price, it’s the best strategy deal of the whole event.
Red Dead Redemption 2 – Now $13.05 (Save 78%)
Rockstar doesn’t discount Red Dead Redemption 2 this hard often, so seeing it drop from $59.99 to $13.05 is a huge win for anyone who skipped it at launch. If you’ve somehow avoided spoilers for five years, congratulations—you’re about to experience one of gaming’s most memorable stories completely fresh.
You play as Arthur Morgan, an outlaw trying to maintain loyalty to a dying gang while the modern world slowly closes in. Between the jaw-dropping landscapes, its shockingly human writing, the absurd attention to detail, and a soundtrack that punches you directly in the soul, this is arguably one of the best open-world games ever made. And thirteen bucks? That’s outrageous.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – Now $35.19 (Save 30%)
For something newer, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33—a turn-based RPG that launched in 2024—is down from $49.99 to $35.19. It’s not as steep a cut as the others, but considering how strongly it launched, it’s still a sweet deal if you like stylish RPG combat and painterly worlds.
The game takes place in a surreal, dreamlike France where a mysterious artist, the Paintress, erases people from existence with each new painting. You lead Expedition 33 on a desperate mission to stop her before she completes her next artwork. It’s fresh, weird, and genuinely gorgeous.
Bottom Line
Whether you’re in the mood for a massive open world, a brutal strategy challenge, or a stylish new RPG, Cyber Monday delivered some of the best prices we’ve seen all year. Hogwarts Legacy and XCOM 2 are borderline giveaways at this point, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece you absolutely shouldn’t skip, and Clair Obscur is a great pick for anyone looking for something modern and striking.
