Accessing the Xbox Buy 1, Get 2 Free Free Sale
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to view the Xbox games included in the sale via an internet browser, so players will instead need to access it via their Xbox consoles.
To do so, players should boot up the system, then navigate to the Store. From there, look for the Deals section and scroll until the Special Offers banner becomes visible. The sale should be listed there, and players can view a complete list of all games included in the sale.
Making the Most of the Xbox Sale
While there are some good deals on indie games that players can potentially get here, it’s worth pointing out that there are some caveats to the sale that can be navigated to get an even better deal.
When three included games are selected, the Xbox store will automatically look at the list and determine which is the most expensive. The two least-expensive games will be the ones that the buyer gets for free, while the most expensive one will be what they have to pay for. Accordingly, choosing three similarly-priced games will be a better deal for the buyer than picking one higher-priced game and two lower-priced titles. Additionally, if someone is thinking of buying more than one trio of games, choosing the games to include in each bundle based on their prices can lead to a better deal.
Buy 1, Get 2 Free Isn’t the Only Xbox Sale Going On Now
Those who don’t find what they’re looking for in the Buy 1, Get 2 Free sale or want additional good deals are in luck, as it’s not the only sale on Xbox right now. Just prior to the Xbox Developer Direct, Xbox launched a sale that includes titles from several Xbox first party developers, with some excellent deals to be had. To name just a few, Quantum Break, Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and Alan Wake’s American Nightmare are all 75% off, while Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 5 can be secured for 50% off. The Fable series is 67% off, 2025 action-adventure game South of Midnight is 25% off, and Ninja Gaiden 4 has dropped to its lowest price ever at 30% off.
