When it comes to video games, Amazon and Walmart are cleaning house this Memorial Day, with some epic price drops. No matter what major console you use — Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, or Xbox — there are mega-deals to be had. This weekend is a primo time to stock up on games before the summer heatwaves roll in and you find yourself escaping the blistering sun in the comfort of your home, so check out some of these great titles before they're all gone.
Quick Overview
'Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town' for Nintendo Switch
Run a farm, raise cattle and much more in this adorable slice-of-life game. If you like 'Harvest Moon' or 'Stardew Valley,' this one's for you. You can get to know all your neighbors and even find a special someone.
It's 'Dragon Quest,' but even more adorable. Team up with different monsters and use all of their abilities to explore the land of Draconia and discover all of its hidden riches and plunder — and do so now for just $40.
Let the vastness of the cosmos call to you in 'No Man's Sky' as you explore literally billions of planets in a procedurally generated shared universe. There'll be other players out there among the stars, but the chance of encountering someone is slim.
One of the breakout RPGs for the Switch, 'Octopath Traveler II' puts you in the shoes of one of eight different characters whose stories all converge. It's an in-depth RPG that's a love letter to the classics of old, and one you don't want to miss.
If you've been waiting for the right moment to try the new 'Pokemon' games, the moment is now. 'Pokemon Violet' is seeing a rare discount and is at the right price point for new players to dive in and explore Paldea — and the cuteness that is Fuecoco — all for themselves.
It's 'Battlefield' as you've never seen it before: set on a futuristic field, you'll utilize sci-fi technology to come out victorious in fights against up to 127 other players. Take on the classic role of Assault, Recon, Engineer, and more, now for 42% off.
If you like 'Skyrim,' you'll fall in love with 'Mount & Blade 2.' You can fight your way through the game however you choose, developing your own custom characters and exploring a unique fantasy realm.
'New Tales From the Borderlands' lets you (re)visit Pandora and experience a more narrative-focused adventure than you might have gotten in the other, more chaotic 'Bordlerlands' games.
If you love anime and RPGs, 'One Piece Odyssey' is the game you've been waiting for. Defeat new enemies and unravel strange mysteries with your crew by your side, all while playing as your favorite characters.
'Rider's Republic' is a massive, open-world racing game — except you drive, grind and shred your way across the course. There's an endless amount of ways to keep yourself entertained, and for 60%-plus off, it's hard to go wrong.
Anyone that misses the days of couch co-op gaming, buy now — 'Shredder's Revenge' is a throwback to the classic TMNT games of yesteryear, but with a huge cast of playable characters. It's everything you could ask for in a cooperative brawler.
Hear that? It's your next favorite RPG calling. 'Star Ocean: Divine Force' lets you play the parallel stories of Raymond or Leticia in an all-out bid to save a planet — and a galaxy — from war and destruction.
