With the arrival of the summer presentation season, new games are in the spotlight more than ever with Microsoft, Ubisoft, and plenty more putting on presentations in the absence of E3. The Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase and Summer Game Fest have already seen tons of big reveals with a Nintendo Direct also rumored to be coming later this month. As with any big gaming event, a plethora of sales have started to pop up from various retailers with Xbox, Amazon and now Target joining in on the gaming fever pitch.

The past week has already seen sales appearing across several platforms, promising gamers a little more bang for their buck. Microsoft launched its Deals Unlocked sale late last week with players on Xbox able to pick up games at discounts up to 90%. Amazon also launched its own sale on Tuesday with customers being offered a buy 2, get one free deal. Now, Target has launched a similar promotion on its own website with the deal not only applying to games, but movies, music, and more.

Target's own "Mix and Match" deal gives customers the chance to pick up plenty of today's hottest games and get three for the price of two. The deal appears to apply to all games sold through Target with even pricey collector's editions for games like Dying Light 2 and Marvel's Avengers included in the deal. Target is also featuring sales on several popular games alongside the bundle deal with Mortal Kombat 11, It Takes Two, and Monster Hunter: Rise seeing price reductions among others.

However, games aren't the only products included in Target's savings as the sales also extends to toys, movies, books, and a variety of board and card games as well. The Mix and Match deal includes the online marketplace's library of over 30,000 movies with popular recent films like A Quiet Place Part 2 and Godzilla vs. Kong. The discounts even feature card games with Pokemon fans able to pick up the Pokemon Trading Card Game's "Battle Academy Series 2" box set as a part of the deal.

Target's newest round of gaming-themed savings come as the gaming industry has been revealing plenty of what's in store for the future. Monster Hunter Rise's discount comes as the game is preparing for the launch of the Sunbreak expansion at the end of June. Recent streams from Sony, Microsoft, and Ubisoft have revealed new information on some of gaming's biggest franchises like Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, and Assassin's Creed. Target's discounted games will give fans the chance to pick up some of the games they missed as they wait for the newly revealed titles.

The week is nearly half over, but the deals are already vast. If you have time this summer to sink your teeth into some meaty video games or tabletop games, we’ve got just the right discount for you to check out. Amazon and Target are both running a buy two, get one free sale from now until Saturday, June 18th. It’s another mix and match-style promotion, where you buy two video games, board games, movies, or even some toys and get a third of equal or lesser value for free.

The current promo is a great opportunity to stock up on some excellent games that came out this year, like Elden Ring or the recently released Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and you can even throw in a modern classic you might have missed, like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The choices are yours and yours alone, but one thing for certain is the fact that you have a whole lot of options here. Just add the three qualifying items to your cart at either retailer, and the discount will automatically take effect at checkout.

$120

The current “buy two, get one free” promotion at both Amazon and Target extends to a wealth of different products, including toys, movies, books, and video games like Elden Ring, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition.

Is that the sound of the summer breeze gently enticing you with the warm embrace of the great outdoors? No, it’s the sound of some powerful ray tracing-capable video cards whirring away in a desktop PC and actually selling for a discount. After many shortages and rounds of limited restocks, it’s finally not a fool’s errand to build a PC now that GPUs are occasionally getting notable discounts — that is, unless you want to be on the bleeding edge and plan on picking up the next-gen 40-series when it launches next month.

If you’re in the market for a top-tier video card for your build right now, Antonline is selling the EVGA RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 graphics card for $1,129.99 (about $300 off) and the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti XC3 for $1,099.99 (about $230 off). These are some beefy, 12GB cards that support 4K gaming at 120Hz with ray tracing and DLSS without breaking much of a sweat, and both are coming in at cheaper prices than Nvidia’s base-model reference 3080 Ti card — which currently runs $1,199.99. Read our review.

$1129.99

EVGA’s RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 PCIe 4.0 video card has 12GB of GDDR6X video memory, support for ray tracing and DLSSS AI scaling, and a bright strip of RGB lighting across its metal housing and three-fan array.

$1099.99

EVGA’s RTX 3080 Ti XC3 PCIe 4.0 video card has 12GB of GDDR6X video memory, support for ray tracing and DLSSS AI scaling, and a slightly smaller frame compared to the pricier FTW3 model. It sacrifices a bit of boost clock speed and has a more modest LED lighting setup.

Amazon’s latest Echo Dot is currently available for $27.99 in all colors at both Amazon and Best Buy, which matches the smart speaker’s lowest price to date. It doesn’t get much better than this $22 discount on the base-model Dot, though if you are new to the world of smart home tech, you may want to consider buying the $32.99 bundle that pairs the fourth-gen Dot with an Amazon Smart Plug. The discounted combo gives you easy access to Alexa in the room of your choice, with the smart plug lending some extra functionality to even an old-fashioned device. In addition to playing music or asking for the weather, for example, you can tell Alexa to turn on a traditional light you have plugged into the Smart Plug — or even set up some advanced timers using the Amazon Alexa app on your phone or tablet. Read our review of the Echo Dot here.

$27.99

The latest Echo opts for a spherical build and better sound while maintaining its approachable price tag.

$32.99

The latest Echo Dot smart speaker bundled with an Amazon smart plug, which grants smart controls to any plug-in device, like a traditional lamp.

Another great deal currently available in the smart home space is the Amazon Smart Thermostat, which is on sale direct from Amazon right now for $47.99 ($12 off). The current deal price matches the thermostat’s lowest price to date and makes it an even better value than it normally is — which is saying a lot given the excellent device ticks most of the boxes the average person needs, even at $59.99.

Amazon’s Smart Thermostat is the cheapest smart thermostat you can buy and easily syncs with the Alexa, allowing you to set timers, program schedules, and heat or cool your home more efficiently than with a traditional thermostat. Of course, since this is Amazon’s ecosystem, you won’t get any Google Assistant functionality or Apple HomeKit compatibility. Amazon wants you to use its services, and a handsome thermostat that’s cheap and still good at its job is a clever way of accomplishing that. Read our review.

$41.99

Developed in partnership with Resideo, the Amazon Smart Thermostat allows you to control the temperature of your home through Alexa voice controls and remotely via an app.
