Highlights
- Amazon and Target are offering "buy 2, get 1 free" gaming sales for budget-friendly deals.
- Target's sale includes 629 titles, with prices starting at $9.99, while Amazon has 35 titles in its sale.
- The Steam Summer Sale runs through July 11, offering historically low prices on select games.
Both Amazon and Target currently have a “buy 2, get 1 free” sale going on that will be appealing to many gamers looking for a good deal. Given the rising costs of video games, be it the jump to a base price of $70 or the trend toward monetized live-service, those who enjoy the hobby are always looking for an inexpensive way to add to their collection. If it’s not free from the Epic Games Store, for example, a decent sale from a retailer like Target or Amazon will suffice.
The sale at Target will end on July 13 and, according to search results, includes 629 video game titles. The prices begin at $9.99, for games like the cyberpunk shooter RPG The Ascent and Hokko Life, and range up to non-discounted AAA titles like God of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part 1, and Dragon’s Dogma 2. What many people will find most interesting is that the Target sale also includes some collector’s and deluxe editions that might be worth throwing into their cart. Dying Light 2 Stay Human, Persona 3 Reload, Dredge, and Among Us all have limited editions up for grabs.
Amazon’s sale is phrased a bit differently but amounts to the same thing. The “get 3 for the price of 2” event at the online retail giant doesn’t have a clear end date, so it’s a good idea to jump in right way if a deal is particularly appealing. Unlike Target’s more than 600 games, Amazon has about 35 titles in the pot, but some of them still merit a look. These include 2023’s Resident Evil 4 remake, Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos, and the Shadows Over Loathing Collector’s Edition for PS4.
Though the selection at Amazon is very limited, it’s still worth a quick browse in case there’s overlap between the two sites. For example, Capcom's action RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2 is part of both “both 2, get 1 free” events. However, it’s full price at Target and currently on sale on Amazon. So, if two additional games seem worth picking up from Bezos’ site, buyers might end up getting a better deal there.

Steam sales always warrant at least a brief perusal because there are always a few hidden gems for incredibly low prices.
