If your favorite video games are getting worn out and boring, it’s probably a good time to refresh your stash—especially since staying at home seems to be the new pastime for 2020.

You wouldn’t be the only one to turn to gaming for solace during the pandemic. Games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone saw huge spikes in players (upwards of over 15 million online) over the last few weeks, according to Yahoo Finance.

We rounded up the best deals from GameStop, Target, eBay and BestBuy on top-rated games and accessories, whether you have an Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch. There are even some discounts on the consoles themselves.

Xbox One deals

Right now, the Xbox One S: All-Digital Edition is on sale for $170, or $129 off at eBay. That’s 43 percent off. It’s also not just a video game console, but an impressive all-in-one 4K entertainment center.

Here’s how it works: Instead of loading cumbersome discs, you simply download all your favorite video games, movies, TV shows and songs from the online Microsoft Store. This system might not be a good fit for people who have a large disc collection like Xbox One video game discs, CDs and DVDs, Blu-ray discs and other types of physical media, but if you want to have the convenience of downloading all of your media, then the Xbox One S: All-Digital Edition is for you.

“Knowing that all the games, apps, and features are all digital. I can now buy a game from Microsoft store and digitally download with ease,” shared a five-star reviewer.

Compared to other systems like the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, the Xbox One S has plenty of popular and award-winning games that are exclusive to Microsoft—such as Gears 5, Sea of Thieves, Forza Motorsport 7, Halo 5: Guardians, Sunset Overdrive and more. That means if you’re interested in any of those games, you can only play them on an Xbox One.

In addition, the system’s spacious 1TB hard drive houses all your downloads in one convenient spot for easy access whenever you want to play a game or watch a movie. Meanwhile, it has loads of streaming apps available like Netflix, HBO Now, Hulu, Disney+ and more, so you don’t have to keep switching between a streaming device and a video game console. It’s all in one place.

Sony PlayStation 4 deals

While the Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II) and the Beats Studio3 are fantastic noise-canceling headphones, you’d want to pick up a dedicated headset to play video games instead. Here’s why: Bose and Beats headphones can be limited when it comes to delivering in-ear surround sound for immersive experiences, which is something you want when playing video games.

However, the Sony PlayStation Gold Wireless Gaming Headset—which is on sale for $69, or $31 off at Target—is ideal because it’s designed specifically for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR.

This black headset features Sony’s 7.1 virtual surround sound, so you can hear every detail designed into the game from big explosions to super quiet whispers. Now that’s something the Bose QC35 II and Beats Studio3 headphones just can’t deliver.

“The surround sound quality is great and they are very comfortable,” wrote a five-star Target shopper. “I've even used them on my PC, and they work great on there as well. It's nice that they also have the mini-pin audio port, so I can use them with other things, like my PS Vita.”

Meanwhile, this Sony headset also comes with special augmented noise-canceling hidden microphones, so you can talk to your friends and teammates without any background noise getting in the way.

“It's wonderful, you don't miss anything & other noises outside the game don't distract. I can be in the same room with my wife while she's YouTubing and she doesn't have to wear those uncomfortable earbuds with her iPad,” added another satisfied reviewer.

And the best part? The Sony PlayStation Gold Wireless Gaming Headset is just a fraction of the cost of Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II) and Beats Studio3 headphones. This headset comes with a wireless adaptor, a 3.5mm audio cable and USB Cable (Type-A to Micro-B) for wired connections, while it also comes in Rose Gold too.

In this madcap crossover, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Yoshi team up with four friendly Rabbids (from the hit gaming franchise Raving Rabbids) in an adventure to save the Mushroom Kingdom from chaos when a group of not-so-friendly Rabbids invade.

For players ages 10 and up, the award-winning role-playing game Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for the Nintendo Switch finds Nintendo and game publisher Ubisoft join forces to deliver a wild co-op game that’s full of strategy and puzzles with new weapons and attacks that are fun for new and old Mario fans, alike.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is on sale for just $25, or $35 off on eBay. That’s 58 percent off.
