Seriously, Don’t Miss These Game Deals—AC Shadows & Mario Odyssey Are Steals Right Now
Okay, listen up gamers—this isn’t just another “oh hey here’s a sale” post. I was scrolling through deals last night (instead of sleeping, obviously) and nearly spat out my chai when I saw these prices. We’re talking actual record lows on two absolute must-haves: Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Super Mario Odyssey. And trust me, I’ve been tracking game prices since the PS2 era—this is the real deal. But wait, there’s more (said in my best infomercial voice).
1. The Deals That Made Me Do a Double-Take
1.1 Assassin’s Creed Shadows—Already Discounted?!
Price: $60 (down from $70)
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC
Now here’s the thing—Ubisoft games don’t usually drop this fast. I remember waiting six months just to get $10 off Valhalla. Why you should grab it now:
- Feudal Japan setting that looks so good, my cousin thought it was real footage for a solid minute
- The parkour feels buttery smooth—like that one time I tried free-running in college (bad idea)
- At this rate? Probably going back to full price by next week
1.2 Super Mario Odyssey—Basically Giving It Away
Price: $40 (down from $60)
Platform: Nintendo Switch only
Let me put it this way—if Mario games were gold, this would be Fort Knox levels of value:
- Still the best Switch exclusive after all these years—fight me
- Perfect whether you’re 8 or 80 (my grandma’s high score is better than mine)
- Discounts like this happen about as often as a peaceful Rainbow Road race
1.3 Other Games Worth a Look
- Metaphor: ReFantazio – $45 (PS5, Xbox, PC)
- Twin Peaks – $30 (Steam, PlayStation)—weird but in a good way
2. Why You’d Be Crazy to Skip These
2.1 These Discounts Make No Sense
Mario Odyssey almost never goes on sale—I’ve seen people pay full price for used copies. And AC Shadows? Discounted already? Feels like finding a ₹500 note in last year’s jeans.
2.2 The Timing Is Perfect
Summer sales are done, Diwali/Black Friday is ages away—this is that sweet spot where retailers get desperate. Some places already show “limited stock” warnings too.
2.3 The Value Is Ridiculous
Let’s do math (I know, but bear with me): $40 for Mario = about ₹3,300. That’s cheaper than two movie tickets with popcorn here in Mumbai—and you get like 100 hours of fun instead of three.
3. Where to Buy & Pro Tips
3.1 Where the Deals Are Live
- Amazon – AC Shadows | Mario Odyssey
- Steam – PC version here
- Nintendo eShop – Direct download (no waiting for delivery!)
3.2 How to Save Even More
- Pair AC Shadows with its Season Pass—saves you another 10%
- Use cashback apps (I’ve gotten ₹500 back via CashKaro before)
- Check local stores—sometimes they price match plus throw in freebies
4. Real Gamers Are Saying…
“Bought Mario at launch, still playing it years later. At ₹3,300? Criminal not to.” — BangaloreGamerGirl
“AC Shadows makes me feel like a proper shinobi. And I’m saying this as someone who hated the last three AC games.” — DelhiStealthMaster
5. Just Buy Them Already
Look, I’m not your mom—but if I was, I’d be shaking you right now saying “beta, these deals won’t last!” Whether you want to slice up samurai or throw hats at dinosaurs, this is your moment. Seriously, go before prices bounce back.
P.S. Keep an Eye Out For…
Rumor mill says Elden Ring DLC and Zelda might drop soon too. Set those price alerts—I’ll update if I hear anything!
