This week’s best gaming deals: Prey, Xbox One S consoles, Injustice 2, more

In a week jam-packed with Destiny 2 news, you may be forgiven for not noticing a few of the better gaming deals or offers slipping by. Conveniently enough, I’m here to take us through everything that was good in the world of gaming deals for the past week, so let’s begin. Like always, we’ve got deals that’ll work in the UK, deals that’ll work in the US and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places. Let’s get started.

UK & US Deals

You may have spotted it already during the week but it bears repeating that there’s a brand new Humble Indie Bundle available right now. The 18th indie bundle in the site’s history, this new batch includes games like Owlboy, Kentucky Route Zero and more. Here’s the full line-up.

On the note of Humble, the site has gone and added a bunch more titles to its already jam-packed Spring Sale offerings. This includes titles from Sega, Activision and Capcom among others. Here are some highlights:

Spring Sale from Humble Store

GOG.com continues its ongoing quest to put every game in existence on sale at some point with another fresh set of offers in a Weekly Sale. This time around, you can find a whole bunch of adventure games among the lot including Resonance, Primordia, Gemini Rue and Shardlight. They’re available from as little as £1.39 / $1.66 / €1.59, too.

UK Deals

Let’s start the UK deals section off with a bafflingly good value Xbox One S bundle from ShopTo. Head over there on the link below and you can get yourself an Xbox One S 500GB console with FIFA 17, Halo Wars 2, Gears of War 4 and a 3 month Xbox Live Gold membership, all for £199.85. That’s insanely cheap for the amount of stuff you get, so odds are good that stock is limited on this one.

Nintendo Uniqlo shirts

Somehow, the news of Uniqlo partnering up with Nintendo for a T-shirt design competition completely slipped me by. That said, the range of winners has gone up on Uniqlo’s website to buy now and I already suckered myself into picking up at least two of these. Each shirt is priced up at £12.90, so head over and take a look. That Donkey Kong shirt is a personal favourite.

prey steelbook

Now, I for one have spent the last few weeks playing through Prey and have been quite enjoying it, so it’s a tiny bit distressing to see the game get discounted quite severely a matter of weeks after launch. That being said, if you waited to get a copy of the game, you can get the fancy version that comes with a steelbook and soundtrack from game for only £29.99.

switch_joy_con

Look, I know we’re all jumping up and down about the newly announced Splatoon-inspired neon Joy-Con pair (seriously, the Pink and Green look ace on Joy-Con controllers) or the Arms-inspired luminous yellow ones, but let’s take a moment to check out this set of the original Neon Red/Blue Joy-Con, which are currently about £15 off at Amazon UK, costing just shy of £60.

yooka_laylee_shovel_knight_2

As far as throwback 3D platformers go, there are few as divisive as Yooka-Laylee. An echo to Rare’s Nintendo 64 games of old, the game was certainly the topic of plenty of discussion when it released earlier this year. Currently, it’s down to its lowest price yet, of £19.49 on both Xbox One and PS4 right now at Base.

injustice_2_the_joker

Injustice 2 came out yesterday, so that’s a thing. If you like your fighting games to feature a whole bunch of comic book heroes and villains but you also prefer the Batman types to the Spider-man types, you might want to pick up a copy. The cheapest price around right now is over at Base, where you can get the game along with its Darkseid DLC for £35.85.

halo_wars_2_campaign_gameplay_launch_screen_2

The space marine themed real-time strategy sequel that is Halo Wars 2 has been discounted all over the place this week. Not the least of which is the version you can get from GAME, which comes with some extra DLC including additional leader Kinsano, all for £19.99 for a limited time.

Seagate Slim Plus

There’s not a whole lot I can write about external hard drives that would qualify as insightful or massively entertaining so instead, I’ll focus on pointing out that these Seagate Backup Plus external drives are discounted over at Amazon UK right now, with 1TB drives starting at £49.99. Ooh look, that one is red.

Mad Max Black Chrome

If you don’t already own it, it’s time to witness the Black and Chrome edition of Mad Max Fury Road. The Blu-ray set that contains both the full colour version as well as the stylised ‘Black and Chrome’ version is currently down to £10 over at Amazon UK and is absolutely worth that.

US Deals

titanfall_2_live_fire

The absolutely wonderful Titanfall 2 has seen no shortage of discounts since it launched at the end of last year. If you somehow don’t already own a copy by now, you can grab the Deluxe Edition on Xbox One or PS4 over at GameStop for just $19.99 right now. That’s an almost criminally low price for this one. Play it, you heathens!

LG 32 inch IPS monitor with display port

Amazon US is currently taking $50 off the price of this LG 32-inch IPS monitor. That brings the price down to just under $200 for this monitor that features Display Port and HDMI inputs as well as a set of USB ports. If you’re looking for a decent second screen, this might be worth checking out.
