While you’re catching up on all the new games at the 2018 Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3), you might want to take a look at these deals, too. Rivals Sony and Microsoft are each holding massive game and console sales this week, presumably in a bid to outdo each other and gain momentum. There are even a few Nintendo game deals going on. Details on each E3 week game and console deal are below, along with a few particularly good game deals we found. Be sure to read WIRED’s E3 Trends story, as well.
Pre-Order New E3 Games
Amazon has a roundup of big E3 games that you can pre-order now, with $12 discounts if you’re a prime member. The discount is hard to notice, but will show up at Checkout. Look for small blue text in your Cart under the standard price. Do keep in mind that these games haven’t been reviewed yet, and most won’t come out for months.
