Get Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for free when buying an Xbox One

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the latest game from Dark Souls studio From Software. It launched on Friday, March 22, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Normally $60, if you’re in the market for an Xbox One, you can get Sekiro for free right now. For a limited time, Newegg is including a free copy of Sekiro with a number of Xbox One consoles and bundles.

It’s a wicked good deal, especially when you consider that some of the consoles on Newegg already come with recently released games, too. In Sekiro, you play as a one-armed shinobi during Japan’s Sengoku period. Unlike Dark Souls and Bloodborne, the protagonist Wolf has fast movement speed and combat revolves around perfectly timed deflections and parries. If you like your action games brutally difficult, Sekiro is right up your alley.

Newegg has eight different Xbox One consoles and bundles that come with Sekiro right now.

Xbox One S 1TB Console

A white Xbox One S with 1TB of storage for $250. It doesn’t come with any additional games besides Sekiro.

Xbox One S 1TB Battlefield V Bundle

For $300, you’ll get the white Xbox One S bundled with Battlefield V and Sekiro.

Xbox One S 1TB The Division 2 Bundle

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

For $300, you’ll get the white Xbox One S bundled with The Division 2 and Sekiro. Considering The Division 2 also launched in March, this bundle offers the most bang for your buck.

Xbox One S 1TB Anthem Bundle

For $300, you can have the Xbox One S with Anthem and Sekiro. BioWare’s loot shooter launched with mixed reviews and some serious bugs and performance issues. Anthem can still be fun at times, but The Division 2 is a better loot shooter.

Xbox One X 1TB Console

The more powerful Xbox One X is available for $449 with Sekiro.

Xbox One X 1TB The Division 2 Bundle

For $500, you’ll get the Xbox One X with The Division 2 and Sekiro. This Xbox One X bundle is probably the best value as it comes with two recently released titles, both of which are very good.

Xbox One X 1TB NBA 2K19 Bundle

For $500, you can get the awesome Xbox One X alongside two incredibly different but great games: NBA 2K19 and Sekiro.

Xbox One X 1TB Metro: Exodus Bundle

This Xbox One X bundle comes with post-apocalyptic shooter Metro: Exodus and Sekiro.

Try these 2 indie greats before they leave Xbox Game Pass next week

I’m always excited for those two days every month when Xbox drops a blog post detailing the new additions coming to Game Pass. Even in slow months, there’s usually a hidden gem on there that I’m curious about digging into. Though as curious as I am about checking out what’s new, I often forget to scroll to the bottom and see what’s leaving the service. And just as there are a few standouts added to the service each month, Game Pass also tends to quietly lose just as many with each new batch.

That’s exactly the case this July. While the service gains Grand Theft Auto V and Exoprimal this month, it’s also losing two standout indies: Spelunky 2 and Exo One. If you’re looking for some games to play during a slow month for big releases, here’s why you should check out both before they leave the service on July 15.

This trick guarantees you’ll get bots only in every Fortnite match
how to play split screen fortnite duo

Fortnite is one of the biggest names in gaming, and it's quite easy to understand how it became a global phenomenon. The beloved battle royale is overflowing with things to do, and weekly updates ensure that there are always new weapons and items to engage with, fresh locales to visit on its ever-changing map, and plenty of XP to earn via daily and weekly challenges.

With so much to keep players coming back for more, you can be certain finding a lobby filled with other folks is an easy thing to do. But you've also probably noticed that many matches -- particularly in lower and mid-tier lobbies -- mix bots in with real players. This helps to fill out lobbies faster so you can get in and play consistently, and it also serves as a way to ensure that everyone in the match has a few opportunities to eliminate some baddies regardless of their skill level.

You can get a month of Xbox Game Pass for $1 right now
A tv shows the new Xbox Game Pass that comes to Samsung Gaming Hub soon.

If you aren't currently signed up for Xbox Game Pass, you can currently get your first month for $1. The deal only applies to Game Pass Ultimate and its PC version, though, as the console-only version is still at its full price.

Early in the Xbox Game Pass era, Microsoft would offer $1 onboarding deals for the service. The trick helped the company build a massive user base early on, but it has moved away from that cheap deal in recent years as the service has become a household name with gamers. It's finally available again for anyone who's been waiting for a reason to subscribe, though it's not as eye-popping a deal as it once was.
