We’re always game to see what exciting Best Buy deals are hanging around in stores and online. Now that summer is wrapping up, the remaining weeks of August are still seeing plenty of laptop, TV, and appliance sales. And if you’re a console or PC gamer, you’ll be elated to learn that Best Buy is throwing an amazing sales event until August 18. As part of the Video Games Sale event, one game is marked down to $10 for 10 days straight.

Here’s why you should check back on Best Buy’s $10 game deal every day this week

This is a fantastic way to save some dough while investing in some of the greatest games of the last few years. So far, we’ve seen sales on Madden 24, Sonic Superstars, Skull and Bones, Fitness Boxing: Fist of the North Star, and Immortals Fenyx Rising. That means there’s only five games left, and Best Buy doesn’t reveal what title it is until the stroke of midnight!

You’ll also want to keep in mind that once a game’s day in the spotlight is over, the title goes back to its original pricing. This means that Madden 24 is back to $30, Sonic Superstars is back to $30, and so on.

This is the perfect opportunity to build out your video game collection and try some brand-new titles! The promotion applies to Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC games, and limited quantities are available for each selection. This means that your best bet is hopping on BestBuy.com, or venturing to your local Best Buy store, in the first part of the day.

Again, we’re talking about Best Buy’s Video Games Sale, taking place now until August 18. Every day, one new game is marked down to just $10. We also have a big list of gaming console deals for you to peruse, as well as some SSD deals if your PS5 could use a bit more storage!

Virtual taekwondo sounds like a gimmick until it solves the biggest fear of combat sports

The noncontact VR discipline is gaining momentum in Southeast Asia by keeping the athletic grind while reducing the injury risk that scares many people away.

Electronics, Screen, Person

Virtual taekwondo sounds ridiculous in the easiest way. Put on a headset, strap sensors to your body, kick at empty air, and call it a combat sport. Somewhere, Wii Sports is quietly stretching.

Athletes are still kicking, reacting, and gasping through the work. The difference is that the hits land on avatars instead of bodies.

This VR empathy game could be the start of something much creepier

Rekindle uses face-tracking biometrics to deepen player involvement, but the same idea could eventually shape therapy tools, safety systems, and emotionally responsive interfaces.

VR Headset, Accessories, Goggles

A new VR empathy game called Rekindle turns facial expressions into part of the controls. The game asks players to perform emotions, then watches their faces to see whether those reactions match the scene.

The first-person story centers on memory, identity, and empathy for the LGBTQ+ community. Players move through a dystopian future where sexual identity has been targeted and erased, collecting memory fragments tied to the protagonist’s experience.

PlayStation’s disc-killing move may have blindsided the very partners keeping its games business alive

Sony’s reported shift away from physical discs allegedly caught publishers, regional teams, and retail partners off guard, turning a gamer ownership fight into a business trust problem.

PlayStation’s reported move away from physical discs already looked bad for players who still care about owning games. Now it sounds messy for the companies expected to sell, support, and build around Sony’s ecosystem.

High Chaos Run reports that Sony’s decision to end physical disc production for PS5, and likely PS6 in 2028, came without warning publishers, business partners, or some regional operations. If accurate, Sony didn’t only create another fight over PlayStation discs. It left parts of its own games business catching up after the decision was already public.
