July’s best gaming deals, including deep discounts on WB Lego games

July is a big month for both video game releases and deals for gamers, with discounts on big-name titles and older releases alike.

Warner Bros. is currently running a Family Fun sale in the Nintendo Game Store. The sale offers discounts of up to 75 percent on Warner Bros. games, including a large number of Lego games.

  • Lego City Undercover is $9, down from $30.
  • Lego DC Super-Villains is $15, down from $60.
  • Lego Harry Potter Collection is $12, down from $50.
  • Lego Jurassic World is $12, down from $40.
  • Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 is $9, down from $30.
  • The Lego Movie 2 Videogame is $12, down from $40.
  • Lego Worlds is $9, down from $30.
  • Lego The Incredibles is $18, down from $60.
  • Lego Ninjago Movie Video Game is $12, down from $50.

The sale, which includes non-Lego games like Cars 3: Driven To Win, Scribblenauts Mega Pack, and Scribblenauts Showdown, runs until 9 a.m. PT on July 27.

At $50, Far Cry fans can pre-order the standard edition of the recently announced Far Cry 6 on Amazon for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The deal doesn’t apply to the upcoming Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, or PC versions, so players willing to stick it out with their current-gen consoles would benefit from this Amazon deal.

Speaking of the PlayStation Store, this month has a plethora of deals, with big discounts on some well-known titles. Some games are marked down by up to 90%, and many deluxe versions of games with lots of add-ons and perks are also available. The sale runs until July 22. Here are a few notable games:

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops III – Zombies Chronicles bundle is $20, down from $60
  • No Man’s Sky is $25, down from $50
  • Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is $15, down from $60
  • Resident Evil 7  is $10, down from $20
  • Dark Souls III – Deluxe Edition bundle is $21, down from $85
  • Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Ultimate Edition bundle is $30, down from $120
  • Far Cry 3 Classic Edition is $3, down from $30.
  • Watch Dogs 2 – Deluxe Edition is $12, down from $60
  • Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Deluxe Edition is $38, down from $70

If you’re a PC gamer and you’ve always wanted to try some of Telltale Games’ marquee titles, you’re in luck. For $15, players can get more than $170 worth of games from the Humble Summer Adventure Games Bundle, which features titles like Batman: The Telltale Series, The Walking Dead: Season 1, The Walking Dead: 400 Days, Batman: The Enemy Within Shadows Mode, The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead: The Final Season, and The Walking Dead: Michonne.

Non-Telltale games like Oxenfree and Heaven’s Vault are also included. Buyers can pay as little as $1 or as much as they want, and the amount of games they’ll get from the bundle depends on the price they pay, but $15 will get all of them.

To top everything off, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is just over $10 off on Amazon at $59, not including shipping and tax. If the Joy-Con drift issue remains a problem, then the Pro Controller might be a good alternative, especially at its current price.

Every rumored video game console: Nintendo Switch 2, PS5 Pro and more
A PS5 sits on a table.

History would tell you that 2024 isn't a year where you should expect a lot of new game consoles. We're smack dab in the middle of a console generation and we've already seen the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series S get upgrades during it. A wave of brand new consoles is likely four years away if the precedent set by previous generations holds up.

And yet, we're swimming in hardware rumors these days. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all have rumored systems in the works. On top of that, we're on the verge of an early second generation for portable PCs like the Steam Deck. Companies like Lenovo and Asus are also plotting follow-ups to their own devices. It's a lot to keep track of, with scattered reports sharing rumors about the status of each. To help you stay on top of the news, we've rounded up every major gaming device that's currently in the works. You can expect to see some -- if not all -- of these in the next year.
