Best Buy has launched a new Buy One, Get One 50% Off Sale on hundreds of video games for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. As the title suggests, you can pick any two games from the lists below, and when you check out, you’ll get a 50% discount on the list price of a game with an equal price or cheaper in your basket. The weird thing here is that this only applies once per transaction, so if you’re looking to grab 10 games and unlock five discounts for example, you’ll need to make five separate purchases of two games each.
But you don’t want to miss this promotion, as it includes a bunch of new releases, such as Metaphor: ReFantazio, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Anniversary Collection, and more. If the game is multiplatform, you can take advantage of this deal on all consoles.

PlayStation 5 owners have a lot to pick from here, as between reliable classics like Sonic Frontiers and Sea of Stars, there are also some tempting recent releases. As mentioned above, Metaphor ReFantazio is less than a month old and is the kind of game that’ll consume all your time for weeks on end. Related to that, you can also pick up several other Atlus-published classics like Persona 3: Reload, Shin Megami Tensei 5, and Persona 5: Tactica, or episodic action in the form of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Prefer some metroidvania action instead? Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is easily one of the best games of the year thanks to the action-packed spin it puts on this genre, and other 2024 highlights include Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection, Balatro, Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed, and Fight Night spiritual successor Undisputed.

B1G1 50% off Nintendo Switch Games
Nintendo has a reputation for having some of the best games for all ages, and this sale doesn’t disappoint on that front. You can’t go wrong with Sega games like Sonic Colors or Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble, and there’s even a Bluey video game if you’re a fan of the adorable dog.
If you’re looking for something more mature, you can have an engaging time with Persona 5 Royal and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, while games like The Outer Wilds and Unicorn Overlord are interactive works of art to consider. RetroRealms: Double Feature is a fantastic little platforming game starring horror movie icons, and the compilation of classic Final Fantasy games is a treasure trove of RPG adventures harkening back to the NES and SNES era of the franchise.

B1G1 50% off Xbox Games
Xbox games at Best Buy
While the list of Xbox games included in this promotion isn’t quite as big as the Switch or PS5 lists, there’s still an impressive number of recent releases here to pick from. Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed brings a formerly Wii-exclusive game to Xbox and with a handsome coat of high-definition paint, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is one of the best action games of the year and Visions of Mana sees a long-running JRPG series return in grand fashion.
If you’re looking to treat yourself, you can pick up Shin Megami Tensei V‘s enhanced edition with a handsome steelbook, and the ultimate edition of Dead Island 2 is the best version of the zombie-slaying game thanks to all of the DLC that comes bundled with it.
