Xbox One S All-Digital (1TB) 3 Game Bundle

$250

This bundle features two of the most popular games available. Minecraft is the best-selling video game of all time, with more than 180 million copies sold across all platforms. Players explore a 3D world of blocks while discovering and extracting raw materials, crafting tools, building structures, and more. The game also features different modes such as survival mode and creative mode.

Fortnite: Battle Royale is a survival of the fittest battle to the end. Players are dropped onto an island and have to scavenge and survive longer than the other players. Players can fight solo, with a partner, or with a group of up to three other players. The last player (or team) standing wins.

Sea of Thieves is an action-adventure game in which the player assumes the role of a pirate who completes voyages in an attempt to become the ultimate pirate legend. The game is a first-person, cooperative multiplayer where players explore an open world via pirate ship. The game allows players to unlock cosmetic features as they progress.

Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros. Ultimate System Bundle

$360 

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a 2018 crossover fighting game that is the fifth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series. The game follows the series’ traditional style of gameplay that many people remember from their childhood – players control one of the many characters and use different attacks to weaken their opponent and ultimately, knock them out of the arena. The cast of characters ranges from notorious and well-known to newcomers. Game modes include a campaign for single-player and multiplayer versus modes.

PlayStation 4 (1TB) PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds & Red Dead Redemption 2 Bundle

$654

Red Dead Redemption II is an action-adventure game developed by Rockstar Games. The year is 1899, and you’re an outlaw in America. Your decision? Stay loyal to the gang who raised you or put your own agenda first as you rob, steal, and fight across the heartland to survive. This game is like Grand Theft Auto in the Wild West — the world is expansive, and the characters can eat, sleep, drink, fight, steal horses, form relationships, and more.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is an online multiplayer battle royal game inspired by the 2000 Japanese film Battle Royale. In the game, players parachute onto an island and begin their quest to survive from there. You scavenge for weapons and other equipment that will help you survive longer than the others.

This great HP starter gaming PC is discounted to $520
The HP Victus 15L gaming PC on a desk.

Over at HP, you can buy one of the better value gaming PC deals around at the moment. Usually priced at $830, the HP Victus 15L is down to $520 for a limited time only. While its spec means you'll need to make some compromises with game detail levels, it's still an excellent starting point for PC gamers on a budget. Let's take a look at what it offers before the deal ends soon.

Why you should buy the HP Victus 15L
This particular HP Victus 15L won't compete with the very best gaming PCs but it's far gentler on your wallet than the alternatives. In exchange, you get an Intel Core i5-12400 processor along with 8GB of memory and an Intel Arc A380 graphics card with 6GB of dedicated VRAM. The graphics card is roughly on par with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 so it's not exactly fast but it will allow you to play games like Diablo IV, Grand Theft Auto V, and many others if you don't mind tweaking the graphics settings in-game. For storage, there's 256GB of SSD storage so you have room for a few different games to be installed at once. Consider this as an introduction to PC gaming and you're right on track.

Someone using a Mac Mini while sitting at a desk.

One of the best Apple deals today is thanks to Best Buy. Head over there and you can buy the Apple Mac Mini with M2 chip for $499 saving you $100 off the regular price of $599. While it might not be the M2 Pro model, it's more than powerful enough for most people. Here's a look at everything else you need to know about it before you hit the buy button.

Why you should buy the Apple Mac Mini with M2
The Mac Mini is a great desktop computer, whether you're going for the M2 Pro model or this one with a standard M2. The best desktop computer for home use, you get a powerful 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU which is great for multitasking or using graphics-intensive apps. Even games look a little better here than you'd usually see with Mac performance. Alongside that, there's 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. That might sound low but Macs are good at optimizing performance so 8GB should be sufficient for most people. Of course, more storage space would be nice but it's not essential.
