Amazon is currently running an impressive buy one, get one 50% off sale for hundreds of video games. The catalog encompasses PS5, Xbox, and Switch–so regardless of your preferred platform, you should have no problem finding a game or two that catches your eye. After adding two eligible games to your cart, the one with the lower price will automatically see a 50% discount. That means purchasing two games of similar price is the best way to make use of the event. For instance, you’ll save $35 on two $70 new releases.
A little bit of everything is included in Amazon’s event, covering both new releases like Metaphor: ReFantazio and Space Marine 2 alongside older hits like Outer Wilds. A bunch of remastered and collections are also up for grabs, our favorite being Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1. Amazon’s B1G1 50% off promotion features a lot of the same games as Best Buy’s now expired promotion that ran over the weekend, but there’s one key difference: Amazon’s discount is calculated using the current price, while Best Buy factored the discount based on MSRP. So, depending on what you pick, Amazon’s sale is better.
Note: If you don’t see the B1G1 50% off deal on one of the games listed below, click “other sellers on Amazon” and choose the option that is shipped and sold by Amazon. If resellers are offering slightly lower prices, they can take the default spot on a product’s store page. But the B1G1 50% off promotion is only available for games that are shipped and sold by Amazon.

B1G1 50% Off Nintendo Switch Games
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, Persona 5 Royal
Now is a good time to stock up on Switch holiday gifts, as plenty of family-friendly titles are eligible for the B1G1 50% deal. One of the standout inclusions for Switch is Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition. Released last month, the collection includes the great pixel remasters of the first six Final Fantasy games. The Switch version of Crisis Core is also included in the promotion, as is RetroRealms Double Feature for horror fans.
There are numerous solid family-friendly options for youngsters, too. Bluey is massively popular, and even though the game itself is merely okay, it’s still likely to appeal to young fans. Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a good pick for gamers of all ages, offering fun platforming segments, vibrant graphics, and a chance to encounter classic Disney characters like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. For a fun local multiplayer experience, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble isn’t just included in the B1G1 50% event–it’s also on sale for just $34 (was $50).

TMNT: Mutants Unleashed, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, Metaphor: ReFantazio
The list of Xbox games in Amazon’s sale isn’t quite as long as the other two, but you’ll still find a few good options. This includes Metaphor: ReFantazio, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, and Space Marine 2. If you’re having a hard time moving on from the spooky season, Dead Island 2: Ultimate Edition will let you continue your zombie fix into the winter, as it’s loaded with content and will take close to 40 hours to see everything it has to offer. If you’re shopping for a younger player, check out Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, as it’s surprisingly nuanced for a racing game based on a classic toy brand.
