NBA 2K21 (Series X/S) | $43

2K Sports’ annual hoops franchise gets the new-gen treatment in NBA 2K21 for Xbox Series X and Series S, which features an array of visual and performance enhancements over the earlier Xbox One release. It’s already marked down $27 from list at Amazon.

Cyberpunk 2077 | $35
Advertisement
CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 delivers a compelling vision of a futuristic open world… but it’s one that is currently saddled with loads of bugs. It’s most problematic on the original Xbox One console and slightly better on Xbox One X and the new Xbox Series X/S, but there’s a long line of fixes promised in the coming months.
The only good side of the rough launch is that you can now pick it up for a mere $35 at Amazon or Best Buy just a few weeks after release, although you’re taking a gamble on future upgrades making a big enough difference in performance quality. Note also that a larger Xbox One X/S upgrade will be released for free later this year.

If you need another controller for your Xbox Series X/S or Xbox One and don’t mind waiting a while, Amazon is currently taking $10 off the price of the current version of the Xbox wireless gamepad in Robot White. The downside, however, is that it’s listed to ship in 1-2 months. We suspect that the wait won’t be quite that long, but you may need some patience to take advantage of these savings.
