Do you smell that in the air? No, it’s not freshly baked cookies; it’s the smell of sizzling game deals. It’s time for that glorious yearly moment when games you’ve been eyeing for months go on sale, and your wallet suddenly feels lighter (but your heart much fuller). Buckle up because it’s shopping spree time. Here are the best game deals of 8/04/2025, and trust me, you’ll want to jump on these faster than a speedrunner on a glitch exploit.

1. Fallout 4 – 60% Off on Steam 

Original Price: $19.99 

Discounted Price: $7.99 

If you haven’t trekked through the nuclear wasteland today, are you even living? Fallout 4 is basically an RPG masterpiece—even if Preston Garvey won’t stop telling you about ANOTHER settlement that needs your help. At $7.99, it’s cheaper than your standard fast-food combo and way more fulfilling. Mods galore, moral dilemmas, and charismatic robots? Yes, please.

2. DOOM Eternal – 75% Off on Nintendo Switch 

Original Price: $39.99 

Discounted Price: $9.99 

Rip. And. Tear. DOOM Eternal doesn’t just ask if you’re ready to fight demons, it practically yeets you into Hell with a shotgun and dares you to survive. Switch owners, now’s your chance to experience this adrenaline-pumping wonder at a steal. For $9.99, it’s an absolute must-buy. Plus, it’s somehow therapeutic to chainsaw through demons after meetings. Win-win.

3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Standard Edition) – 67% Off on Nintendo Switch 

Original Price: $59.99 

Discounted Price: $19.79 

Yes, Bethesda refuses to stop re-releasing Skyrim, and yes, we’ll keep buying it every single time. Taking your dragon-slaying, cheese-hoarding, awkward-arrow-to-the-knee meme adventures on the go for under $20? Pure magic. Fus Ro Dah your way to this deal, before it takes an arrow to your wallet (sorry, it just HAD to be said).

4. Red Dead Redemption 2 (Ultimate Edition) – 80% Off on PS4 

Original Price: $99.99 

Discounted Price: $19.99 

Wild horses, immersive storylines, and the urge to ignore all main missions for hours to hunt. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece, so getting the Ultimate Edition at $19.99 feels outright disrespectful to Rockstar. This is your chance to relive Arthur Morgan’s tragic cowboy tale without spending your entire paycheck. Saddle up, folks.

5. Psychonauts 2 – 92% Off on PC 

Original Price: ~$48.66 

Discounted Price: ~$3.89 

“92% off?” you ask. Yes, because Psychonauts 2’s brain-bending levels and quirky humor deserve to be in your library RIGHT NOW. This gem combines heartfelt storytelling with absurdly creative environments, and honestly, Tim Schafer knocked it out of the psychic park with this one. At $3.89, you’re basically committing daylight robbery (but, y’know, legally).

6. DOOM (Original) – 80% Off on Nintendo Switch 

Original Price: $19.99 

Discounted Price: $3.99 

Do you want to know where the phrase “Hell yeah!” was invented? Right here. DOOM (the OG classic) on Switch is like shaking hands with history, except the handshake is a shotgun blast to a pixel-perfect demon face. For $3.99, why wouldn’t you grab this absolute gaming relic?

7. Grand Theft Auto V – 67% Off on PS5 & PS4 

Original Price: $59.99 

Discounted Price: $19.79 

Is it even gaming if you don’t own GTA V on at least five platforms? Don’t worry if you somehow don’t have it yet, because it’s now at an insane $19.79 for both PS4 and PS5. Whether you’re causing absolutely unhinged chaos as Trevor or just chilling in Los Santos, this price tag is criminally good.

8. Wasteland 3 – 92% Off on PC 

Original Price: ~$28.26 

Discounted Price: ~$2.27 

A tactical RPG for just over two bucks? Someone pinch me because good deals like this feel like a scripted fever dream. Post-apocalypse, squad-building, and decision-making that gives you a moral headache… That’s Wasteland 3, but who cares about morality at $2.27? You literally cannot not buy this.

9. The Quake Bundle – 60% Off on Nintendo Switch 

Original Price (Bundle): $14.99 

Discounted Price (Bundle): $5.99 

Take your nostalgia goggles, glue them on, and prepare to relive the good old days of fast-paced, gib-filled FPS mayhem. Sure, it’s not exactly cyberpunk chic, but at $5.99 for the Quake Enhanced Bundle on the Switch, it’s a return to glory that slams. Perfect for retro fans and frag enthusiasts alike.

10. Until Dawn – 34% Off on PS5 

Original Price: $59.99 

Discounted Price: $39.59 

Horror games are always a “Yes, but do I need a nightlight after?” type of endeavor. Relive the multiple-butterfly-effected horrors of Until Dawn and try to keep the characters alive this time (you monster). At $39.59, it’s a spooktacular way to torment your friends with choice-based storytelling.
