Best Game Deals This Week (July 6 - July 19, 2026)
Two of the year's biggest sales are ending in the next few days. The Steam Summer Sale closes Thursday, July 9, and the Nintendo eShop Summer Sale wraps up even sooner, on Wednesday, July 8. Between them you've got a historical low on one of 2025's best RPGs, a 67% cut on DOOM: The Dark Ages, and a pile of first-party Nintendo games that almost never go on sale. Add two fresh subscription drops on top, and this is a week where waiting costs you money. Here's what's worth your cash.
Top 5 Deals of the Week
| Game | Platform | Sale Price | Regular | Discount | Ends |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kingdom Come: Deliverance II | Steam (PC) | $23.99 | $59.99 | 60% off | July 9 |
| DOOM: The Dark Ages | Steam (PC) | $23.10 | $69.99 | 67% off | July 9 |
| Persona 5 Royal | Nintendo Switch | $17.99 | $59.99 | 70% off | July 8 |
| Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak Deluxe | Nintendo Switch | $17.49 | $69.99 | 75% off | July 8 |
| Palworld | Steam (PC) | $27.29 | $38.99 | 30% off | July 9 |
Why These Made the Cut
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is the standout. This is the deepest discount since launch, a genuine historical low for one of 2025's best-reviewed RPGs. If you've been on the fence, this is the price to grab it at.
- DOOM: The Dark Ages gets its steepest cut to date at 67% off. A 2025 AAA shooter down to $23.10 is a rare early markdown for a game this new.
- Persona 5 Royal at 70% off is one of the best JRPGs ever made for the price of a couple lunches. Deep cut, no catch.
- Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak Deluxe bundles the base game and its meaty expansion at 75% off. That's the full package for $17.49.
- Palworld is at its best-ever discount, timed to the 1.0 launch on July 10. One heads-up before you buy: Palworld 1.0 is also joining Xbox Game Pass on July 10 (Ultimate, Premium, and PC). If you're a Game Pass subscriber, you can play it there at no extra cost instead of buying it outright.
Game Pass Additions This Week (July 6 - 12)
| Game | Date | Platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Winds of Arcana: Ruination | July 6 | Ultimate, Premium, PC |
| Palworld 1.0 | July 10 | Ultimate, Premium, PC |
Palworld 1.0 is the headline add of the week. The creature-collection survival hit leaves early access and lands on Game Pass the same day, so subscribers get the full 1.0 release without paying the Steam price. Note that Xbox has shifted its tier naming around lately, so double-check the exact tier you're on before assuming access.
Games Leaving This Week
Nothing confirmed yet. Xbox announces Game Pass departures in two batches each month (early and late July), and no titles have been locked in for this window as of publish time. We'll update when the list drops.
Platform Breakdown
Steam Summer Sale (ends Thursday, July 9)
The Steam Summer Sale runs June 25 through July 9, ending at 10:00 AM PT on Thursday. One thing worth knowing: Valve locks all prices for the full two weeks, so there's no reason to wait. If it's discounted, it's the same price today as it will be on the final morning. Just don't blink past the deadline.
| Game | Sale Price | Regular | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kingdom Come: Deliverance II | $23.99 | $59.99 | 60% off |
| DOOM: The Dark Ages | $23.10 | $69.99 | 67% off |
| Palworld | $27.29 | $38.99 | 30% off |
| Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | $39.99 | $49.99 | 20% off |
Last chance: Kingdom Come: Deliverance II at $23.99 is a historical low and the single best value in this sale. The Royal Edition, which throws in three DLC packs, runs around $32 if you want the full experience.
A quick note on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It's a GOTY-caliber RPG, but 20% off is a light cut by Steam standards, so temper expectations there. A handful of other deals (Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3, Mass Effect Legendary Edition) are floating around at steeper discounts, but prices reported across outlets don't agree, so confirm the exact figure on the store page before you commit.
Nintendo eShop Summer Sale (ends Wednesday, July 8)
This one ends first, on Wednesday, July 8 at 11:59 PM PT. What makes the 2026 Nintendo sale notable is the number of first-party titles discounted at the same time, which almost never happens. Both Switch and Switch 2 games are included.
| Game | Sale Price | Regular | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Persona 5 Royal | $17.99 | $59.99 | 70% off |
| Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak Deluxe | $17.49 | $69.99 | 75% off |
| Hades | $7.49 | $24.99 | 70% off |
| The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild | $41.99 | $59.99 | 30% off |
| Fire Emblem: Three Houses | $41.99 | $59.99 | 30% off |
| Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity | $41.99 | $59.99 | 30% off |
| Red Dead Redemption (Switch 2) | $24.99 | $49.99 | 50% off |
| Assassin's Creed Shadows Premium Edition (Switch 2) | $64.98 | $99.99 | 35% off |
Standout: Hades at $7.49 is almost a no-brainer if you somehow still don't own it. And while 30% off doesn't sound huge, seeing Breath of the Wild, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Hyrule Warriors all discounted at once is the rarest thing on this list. Nintendo sits on those prices for years, so grab them now if they're on your list.
PlayStation Store
No storewide PlayStation sale is running this week. Days of Play and the Mid-Year Deals event have both wrapped, and while a PlayStation Summer Sale is expected later in July, Sony hasn't announced dates or a lineup yet. We'll cover it the moment it goes live. PS Plus subscribers do have a fresh batch of monthly games this week, though (see below).
PS Plus Monthly Games (July 7 - August 3)
Not a sale, but free is the best deal there is. Three games hit the PS Plus Monthly Games lineup starting July 7, playable on PS5 and PS4:
| Game | Platforms |
|---|---|
| Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (Cross-Gen Bundle) | PS5, PS4 |
| For the King II | PS5, PS4 |
| CrossCode | PS5, PS4 |
Claim them before August 3 and they're yours to keep as long as your membership stays active.
