Get an Xbox One X on Amazon with your choice of game at a huge discount

The Xbox One X is the most powerful game console currently available, and it’s capable of playing several of the biggest AAA games at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second. If you’ve been holding off on purchasing the system so far, Amazon currently has a huge deal that will get you not just the console, but a great new game to go along with it.

On Amazon right now, the Xbox One X 1TB console is available for just $350, down from its standard $500 price. It includes either Gears 5, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, or NBA 2K20, all at the same price. You can even get the limited-edition Gears 5 bundle with a special console at the same price if you’re a major fan of the series.

You can’t go wrong with any of the bundled games. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is one of our favorites from last year, with gameplay that blends elements from series like Uncharted and Dark Souls, along with plenty of fan service for longtime Star Wars enthusiasts. Gears 5, meanwhile, is an excellent entry in the shooter franchise that takes some bold risks, including a psychological horror element and the new cooperative Escape mode.

Alongside the console and game, you’ll also get a free month of Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass, and EA Access. This means you’ll be able to play hundreds of more games for free during your first month, and you can decide which one will be your next obsession after you finish the bundled game. Xbox Game Pass adds new titles on a continuous basis, both from Microsoft’s own library as well as third-party publishers.

When the Xbox Series X launches later this year, you should be able to carry over all your Xbox One games onto it, as well. The console supports full backward compatibility with the current-generation console, and it will also support the same backward compatibility for previous Xbox systems that the Xbox One does today. At launch, it also won’t have any exclusives right away, so new Xbox One X owners won’t be missing out on the latest games.

Helldivers 2 was on top of the world. Released in February to surprise acclaim, PlayStation and Arrowhead's co-op shooter quickly became the kind of success story that any gaming company would want to emulate. In a world of live service risks, this one was paying off thanks to a dedicated community whose commitment to democracy showed no signs of slowing down.

Then it all came crashing down in an instant.

Do you need a PSN account to play Helldivers 2?

Helldivers 2 has been a huge hit this yea,r with a consistent player base since its launch in February and a peak of over 450,000 players. Fighting for Super Earth, players have been waging war against monstrous insects and deadly robots and laying down their lives for democracy. But the game's reputation took a hit recently when it was announced that PC players would have to register for a PlayStation Network account to continue playing the game — a move that would have left players in parts of the world with no PSN support high and dry.

In  response, there was a major outcry (and review bombing of the game on Steam) in response, which led Sony and Arrowhead Game Studios to swiftly alter their policies to appease the player base. The entire ordeal has been a bit of a whirlwind, so it's OK if you're a little lost. Here's what you need to know.
