Amazon’s Buy 2, Get 1 Free Deal On Games Is Back (PS4, Switch, Xbox One)

The products discussed here were independently chosen by our editors. GameSpot may get a share of the revenue if you buy anything featured on our site.

In this week’s sale, Amazon is doing what it does best: copying another store’s offer and making it even better. There’s a huge buy two, get one free sale available right now at Target, and you can find the same offer at Amazon, albeit with different product options. Target’s B2G1 sale focuses mainly on books, movies, music, toys, and board games, while Amazon’s sale has way more to offer on the video game side of things. Both are worth checking out, depending on your interests, but the game deals, in particular, are worth browsing.

First off, we should note that Amazon’s offer page for this particular sale is misleading. The top of the page explains the limited-time offer as “buy 3 items, get 1 item free,” but what it means is that when you add three items to your cart, one of them will be free. In checkout, you’ll see the cost of the lowest-priced item subtracted from your overall order. So, for example, if you buy three $60 games, you’ll save $60 on the overall order, but if you buy two $60 games and one $40 game, you’ll save $40. With that in mind, choose your bundle wisely.

Amazon’s sale includes brand-new releases like The Outer Worlds and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, both of which are full-priced at $60. Madden NFL 20 is available as well and on sale for $45.68. Some of the best games released earlier this year are up for grabs too–don’t miss out on A Plague Tale: Innocence for $39.82, Resident Evil 2 for $35.55, and Devil May Cry 5 for $35.93. Catherine: Full Body, the enhanced PS4 port of the popular 2011 game, is on sale for $46, and the launch edition comes with a gorgeous steelbook case.

While this sale will likely run all week (based on Target’s schedule), these B2G1 sales have a way of selling out the best deals quickly, so don’t wait if you’ve been eyeing any of these games. You can check out the full offering of games in this sale at Amazon and see some of our picks from the sale below.

Pokemon Go: Last Chance To Catch Darkrai

We’re in the final week of Pokemon Go‘s Halloween 2019 event, which means this is your last chance to catch a variety of special Pokemon. That includes the Mythical Pokemon Darkrai, which is scheduled to leave Raid Battles the day the event ends, on November 1.

Until then, you’ll still be able to encounter Darkrai in five-star Raids. This is the first time the Mythical Pokemon has appeared in Go, and there’s no telling when it’ll return to the game, so you don’t want to miss your chance to add one to your collection. Before you can catch Darkrai, however, you’ll need to team up with other players to battle it.

No Caption Provided

Before Darkrai leaves Raids, the Mythical Pokemon will star in another Legendary Raid Hour. This Wednesday, October 30, nearly every Gym in your area will host Darkrai Raids from 6-7 PM local time, making that your best opportunity to capture one. You can find tips for taking the Mythical Pokemon on in our Darkrai Raid guide.

Following Darkrai’s departure on November 1, the Legendary Regi trio will return to Raids until November 4, and this time around, you’ll have a chance to catch their Shiny forms. Regigigas will debut in EX Raids later in the month but if you don’t want to wait until then, Niantic is hosting a “Colossal Discovery” Special Research event featuring the Legendary on November 2. However, until most other Special Research quests, you need to buy a virtual ticket to participate in this event.

Shortly after the Regi trio leaves Raids again, Pokemon Go’s November Community Day will take place. The event falls on Saturday, November 16–the day after Pokemon Sword and Shield launch on Nintendo Switch–and features Chimchar, the Fire-type starter from Diamond and Pearl.

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot: Watch Vegeta vs. Majin Buu

When Dragon Ball Z Kakarot was revealed, there was a certain amount of skepticism that it would tackle the entirety of Goku’s adult life. The sprawling martial arts anime epic clocks in at just shy of 300 episodes, and even after cutting out the filler, that’s a lot of story to adapt into a video game. But, sure enough, Kakarot tracks Goku’s adventures from the appearance of Radditz and the first utterance of the word “Saiyan” all the way through the final showdown with Majin Buu, letting players take control of not just Goku, but the whole principle cast of pointy-haired heroes.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but watching almost 20 minutes of uncut gameplay is even better, so have a look for yourself:

You’ve Never Seen a Show Quite Like Apple TV’s See

Get a behind-the-scenes look at Apple TV Plus’ See, starring Jason Momoa, in our exclusive video featurette above.

When Apple TV+ launches on November 1, the new streaming service will unveil an eclectic array of original TV shows – some grounded in our reality, like The Morning Show; some exploring an alternate history, like For All Mankind; and some that are utterly fantastical, like See, a post-apocalyptic adventure starring Jason Momoa, created by Peaky Blinders showrunner Steven Knight, and directed by The Hunger Games helmer Francis Lawrence.

The tech giant’s ambitious new drama takes place 600 years after a deadly virus decimated humanity and left the few survivors (and their descendants) blind. When two children are born with sight, their adoptive father, Baba Voss (Momoa) must protect the twins and his tribe from those who want to destroy them, including the powerful and desperate Queen Kane (Sylvia Hoeks).

What’s New To Netflix This Week? Movies, TV, And Originals

Halloween is arriving this week, and that means October is over, and Netflix will be releasing a lot of content this Friday, when November begins. From movies to TV shows to original programming, there is bound to be something you’ll want to watch.

Arriving on November 1 is a slew of movies you may have seen, but you’ll want to watch again. Step Brothers is the 2008 comedy about two adults–who act more like children–that are thrusted into each other’s lives as their single parents marry each other. Starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, this movie is hilarious and ludicrous in the best ways possible.

Also arriving on Friday are the three Matrix movies–Matrix 4 is in production which recently cast Neil Patrick Harris and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. The first movie in this franchise still holds up, and after you’re finished watching it, why not watch the other two movies to see the series slowly implode on itself? Also arriving on Friday are Rounders and Zombieland.

Below, you’ll find everything headed to Netflix this week, and for more news on streaming services, check out what’s coming to Shudder, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video in November.
