Best Game Deals This Week (October 19 - November 1, 2026)
PlayStation owns this week. The Player's Choice Sale is winding down with roughly 5,000 games discounted up to 80% off, and it ends in a matter of days, so the clock is the story here. Nintendo chips in a genuinely silly 92%-off deal, and Steam sits this one out entirely (more on that below). Here's what's worth your money.
Top 5 Deals of the Week
| Game | Platform | Sale Price | Regular | Discount | Ends |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Battlefield 6 | PS5 | $27.99 | $69.99 | 60% | Oct 21 |
| ARC Raiders | PS5 | $19.99 | $39.99 | 50% | Oct 21 |
| BioShock: The Collection | PS4 | $9.99 | $49.99 | 80% | Oct 21 |
| Axiom Verge | PS4 | $6.99 | $19.99 | 65% | Oct 21 |
| The Sinking City (Deluxe Edition) | Switch | $5.19 | $65.00 | 92% | Oct 29 |
Why These Made the Cut
- Battlefield 6 is the best-known AAA on sale and the lowest its base price has hit, at 60% off. One heads-up before you buy: it joined Xbox Game Pass on October 13, so if you're a Game Pass member on the Xbox side, you can play it without spending a cent. If you're on PlayStation, $27.99 is the move.
- ARC Raiders at $19.99 is half off, a recent extraction shooter that's been eating people's weekends. Easy buy-in for a multiplayer game you'll actually log hours in.
- BioShock: The Collection bundles all three remastered games for $9.99. That's 80% off for one of the best single-player packages you can own, and it's the kind of backlog filler that pays for itself.
- Axiom Verge is the historical-low callout this week. PlayStation flags it as its lowest-ever price at $6.99. If this metroidvania has been sitting on your wishlist, this is the one to grab.
- The Sinking City (Deluxe Edition) is the wildcard. 92% off drops a $65 package to $5.19, and the Deluxe version throws in the Worshipers of the Necronomicon and Merciful Madness DLC. It runs a week longer than the PlayStation sale, so you have until October 29.
Game Pass Additions This Week
| Game | Date | Platforms |
|---|---|---|
| The Seance of Blake Manor | Oct 27 | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
| Terrible Lizards | Oct 29 | Series X|S, PC, Cloud |
Both land on Ultimate and PC in the back half of the month. Nothing blockbuster, but if you like a creepy narrative mystery, keep The Seance of Blake Manor on your radar for the 27th.
Worth remembering: Battlefield 6 already hit Game Pass on October 13. So before you buy it on PlayStation, check whether Game Pass covers you.
Games Leaving This Week
Eight games leave Xbox Game Pass on October 31, 2026 (Console, PC, and Cloud). Finish what you can before then:
- Day of the Tentacle Remastered
- Dead Static Drive
- Deep Rock Galactic (don't miss this one)
- Full Throttle Remastered
- Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
- LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (long game, start now or buy it)
- Wartales
- Wildgate
Members get at least 20% off most of these if you'd rather buy-to-keep instead of racing the clock.
Platform Breakdown
PlayStation Store
The Player's Choice Sale is the headline event: around 5,000 titles discounted up to 80% off. It ends October 21 for most regions (North American shoppers may get until October 22, so confirm your store before you check out). Either way, this is your last-chance week.
| Game | Sale Price | Regular | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battlefield 6 | $27.99 | $69.99 | 60% |
| ARC Raiders | $19.99 | $39.99 | 50% |
| Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden | $17.99 | $59.99 | 70% |
| BioShock: The Collection | $9.99 | $49.99 | 80% |
| Axiom Verge | $6.99 | $19.99 | 65% |
| Batman: Return to Arkham | $4.99 | $19.99 | 75% |
| 007 First Light | $48.99 | $69.99 | 30% |
Last chance: The whole sale ends October 21 (possibly the 22nd in NA). If Axiom Verge at its all-time low of $6.99 is on your list, this is the week to pull the trigger.
Nintendo eShop
Nintendo's standout is a single, ridiculous deal. The Sinking City (Deluxe Edition) is 92% off, dropping from $65 to $5.19, and it runs through October 29.
| Game | Sale Price | Regular | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Sinking City (Deluxe Edition) | $5.19 | $65.00 | 92% |
Standout: A Lovecraftian detective game plus two DLC packs for the price of a coffee. At 92% off, it's the single best discount percentage anywhere this week.
Steam
No site-wide Steam sale is running right now. The Autumn Sale ended on October 8, so don't let old Autumn Sale prices fool you. Steam Next Fest runs October 19-26, but that's a free-demo and livestream event, not a discount sale. If you're hunting Steam deals this week, your best bet is trying demos, not spending money.

Track These Deals Automatically
Chasing sale end dates by hand is a losing game. Vaulted.Games tracks prices across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and Steam, so you always know an item's real low, not just today's number. Add any game to your wishlist, set a target price, and we'll ping you the moment it drops, before the sale ends instead of after. Stop overpaying and let the alerts do the watching.
