These pre-owned games are so cheap they’re a must-buy

You can buy video games brand new, sure, but a lot of times the new prices don't reflect the age of the game. You'll have older games that rarely go on sale, or do, but the sale price isn't all that great. The alternative is to grab used games, especially now that the industry has backed off on online licenses - you only have to buy the copy of the game now, not extra DLC, unless you want it. GameStop is one of the best places to go for pre-owned games, as you might expect.

Right now, they're offering some amazing deals on pre-owned titles new and old. If you don't want to pay full price, or you want a quick and cheap way to stock up your library, this is the perfect opportunity. You can get games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Resident Evil Village, Skyrim Special Edition, or even Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, all for some pretty good prices. You can always peruse the sale yourself below, or check out our favorites picks!

These Nintendo Switch games just got a HUGE PRICE CUT at GameStop
Person holding Nintendo Switch, looking at the home screen.

Nintendo Switch games don't go on sale as often as some of the other consoles, first-party titles especially. So, when there's a promotion or discount it's always best to see what's available and gauge whether or not you've been wanting a game, or two, or three. Besides the many upcoming Nintendo Switch games soon to release, there is an incredible selection of relatively new to old titles too!

One of the best things about Switch games is that you can also grab them pre-owned without missing out on anything major -- they don't typically include download codes and most downloadable items are free. That allows you to get them cheaper than full price, alongside new copies that go on sale. You can choose either option, going with whatever matches your budget. It's the perfect time to mention that GameStop is hosting a sale on many Switch games right now, with some truly excellent prices. You can browse the sale yourself, or see our top picks below.
