E3 2019 is a hectic and exciting time of year for gamers, who are basically bombarded with news and trailers for upcoming games for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Basically, it’s a big hype fest about all the games and consoles you’ll want to spend money on in the future, so why not save yourself some cash where you can now?
Fortunately, there are plenty of sales running around E3 this year, which is a nice perk for those of us not actually attending the event in LA. We’ll keep this story updated as more deals become available, but here are all the best console and game deals we know about now.
PS4 Days of Play sale
PS4 limited-edition console – available for $300
One of the biggest sales going on during E3 is Sony’s annual Days of Play sale, which is running now through June 17. The sale includes the launch of a limited-edition, steel black PS4 slim console for $300, a PS4 Pro that’s marked down to $350, and PSVR bundles that start at $250 (a full $100 cheaper). Plus, you can grab a year of PS Plus for only $37.59 at Green Man Gaming and $40 elsewhere (instead of $60), and a huge batch of PS4 games are considerably cheaper as well. Some of the best deals include:
Xbox One S Fortnite Battle Royale Special Edition Bundle – will be available for $250
Naturally, Microsoft kicked off a big Xbox sale on the same day as Sony’s Days of Play event, and the company is also debuting a new special-edition Xbox console. A gradient-purple, Fortnite-themed Xbox One S is available now, and while it will generally sell for $300, it’s $50 off for a short time. The console bundle includes a matching controller, Fortnite: Battle Royale, 2,000 V-Bucks, a Dark Vertex Fortnite cosmetic set download, and a free month of both Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass.
The Xbox One S Fortnite Battle Royale Special Edition Bundle is available at multiple retailers, with the discount reflected in the price.
You can also save $100 on a new Xbox One X and get $50 off other Xbox One S bundles. The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is $50 off as well. Black, white, special-edition, and limited-edition Xbox wireless controllers are $10 off. And of course, there’s a big batch of Xbox One games marked down for the occasion.
To save even more money, you can take advantage of a gift card deal at Newegg, which is offering a $100 Xbox gift card for only $88.88 for a short time. Once you receive the email with the digital code, you can redeem the gift card on any of the above deals at the online Microsoft Store. It’s only an extra $11, but when it’s that easy, who’s complaining?

After rumors suggesting A Song of Ice & Fire author George R.R. Martin and Bloodborne developers were working on a game together, new details suggest that title, Elden Ring, may reportedly be revealed at E3 2019, alongside several other alleged Bandai Namco games.
As posted by industry analyst Daniel Ahmad (ZhugeEx on Twitter) and posted on 4chan, as reported by Game Informer, FromSoftware is allegedly set to reveal Elden Ring, a new RPG world from Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin.
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is the follow-up to 2017’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands, though developer Ubisoft is taking a different approach this time around. Breakpoint will have a darker tone, the developer says, in its new fictional New Zealand-esque setting, Aurora.
Aurora is home to Skell Technology, a corporation specializing in AI drone tech. When communication with the company ceases, you’re sent to the archipelago to investigate. When you arrive, however, you find yourself not in the role of the hunter, but the hunted.
Throughout Breakpoint, you’ll encounter a paramilitary group known as the Wolves, who Ubisoft says are just as skilled on the battlefield as the Ghosts. Because of this, the game places a greater emphasis on stealth. You’ll be able to employ drones and hide the bodies of any enemies you kill. Similarly, you can avoid detection by crouching in foliage or covering yourself with mud. The game also features some survival elements; any injuries you sustain need to be treated, and you need to maintain your weapons. Ghost Recon Breakpoint launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 4.
With the X-Men movie franchise singing its swan song with the release of Dark Phoenix, a report has come out from THR that back in 2010 Fox toyed with the idea of making an X-Men vs. Fantastic Four movie.
According to THR’s “secret sources,” Fox considered a Civil War-esque superhero movie crossover that pitted the Children of the Atom against Marvel’s First Family. The battle was going to be ignited by Johnny Storm when he accidentally blew a hole in Manhattan after going supernova while trying to capture F4 villain Molecule Man, thus sparking the Superhero Registration Act in response to the devastation.
Fox’s mutant movie universe may be coming to a close as Marvel Studios takes control of the X-Men characters, but not before debuting one last fan-favorite character. Dazzler finally makes her big screen debut in Dark Phoenix, albeit only in cameo form and apparently played by Halston Sage (The Orville). She has no dialogue but is seen singing — and using her mutant powers to generate a light show while wearing her trademark white outfit — during the X-Men’s party on the grounds of the mansion.
We’ll never see this version of Dazzler become a full-fledged member of the X-Men since the Fox series is coming to an end, but her appearance is still a fun nod to fans of the comics. And if you’re not up on all things Dazzler, here’s a brief primer on the character.
Ah, E3. Gamer Christmas. The epicenter of hype. Every year in June the Electronic Entertainment Expo rolls around and people who love video games furiously refresh their browsers for the biggest new game announcements. Now, while the show has traditionally been associated with consoles–the biggest conferences always revolve around Xbox, Nintendo, and Sony (who, significantly, isn’t at E3 this year)–PC gamers most certainly have many things to be excited about this year.
Microsoft is ensuring that they maintain a strong focus on PC gamers, with all its first-party titles coming to PC, as well as introducing the Xbox Game Pass For PC. Third party publishers like Ubisoft, Activision, Square Enix, EA, and Bethesda will have all their biggest titles available on PC. And of course, the PC Gaming Show and the Devolver Digital press conference will showcase niche games on the platform.
There is so much stuff coming to PC that it’s incredibly easy to miss something, even if you’re following GameSpot’s E3 coverage very closely. Thankfully, we had the great idea to compile all the new games announced at E3 you can look forward to playing on your PC in this list right here! Be sure to check back often as we update this feature in the coming days.
Peruse the titles, and leave a comment to let us know what games you’re looking forward to playing on your PC at ultra graphics settings (but only at 1440p because you haven’t updated your graphics card yet).
And to keep up with all the big news, hands-on previews, and gameplay videos, make sure you keep checking our E3 hub throughout the week.
