Here we are, right at the end of February, days left to go before Horizon Zero Dawn and the Nintendo Switch are released and we’ve got another week’s worth of the best gaming deals. What a time to be alive. Let’s get started.
As usual, we’ve got deals that’ll work in the UK, deals that’ll work in the US and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places.

Between Mass Effect Andromeda’s impending release crawling ever closer and the straight-up real-world discovery of brand new potentially habitable planets, it’s a good time to think about going to space. Unless Elon Musk gets that passenger program up and running sooner than expected, your best bet is to grab a copy of the Mass Effect Trilogy on PC while they’re on offer for £8.49 / $10.56 / €9.99.

Curve Digital has some nice games that you’ve probably heard of. If you don’t recognise the company name, perhaps you’re aware of Thomas Was Alone, Action Henk, OlliOlli, Hue, The Swindle, 10 Second Ninja X, Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure or The Swapper? Well, funnily enough, right now you can get every game I just mentioned in one big bundle on Xbox One for £19.20 / $20. At least for the next two weeks. Not a bad deal for that many indie darlings.

Hitman, arguably one of the best games of last year, finished up its first season around November 2016 and made its way onto store shelves as a boxed edition about a month ago. Rather nicely, that fancy Steelbook boxed edition, which contains the entirety of Hitman’s first season, is reduced down to just below £30 at the moment, with the PC version coming in at just a hair under £27.

Rise of the Tomb Raider’s eventual PS4 release brought with it a boxed edition that comes complete with an artbook and some downloadable skins in order to celebrate the franchise’s twentieth anniversary. If nothing else, this gives you the ability to play through the game as PS1 Lara and get your cognitive dissonance on. This edition is currently reduced down to £24.99 at GAME and Amazon UK, although for some reason it’s only for Prime members at Amazon UK.

By now, it’s damn near impossible that you haven’t heard of or at the very least seen screenshots of the ultra-brightly coloured spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie. Playtonic’s Yooka-Laylee is due out in April (fingers crossed) but it’s currently available to pre-order for the cheapest price so far at Amazon UK, where Prime members can get the game for £26.99 and non-Prime members can put an order down for £28.99.

So far since launch, Battlefield 1 has done a fairly good job of holding its value. That being said, it’s currently down to its lowest historical price at Amazon UK on all formats. The Xbox One and PS4 versions are available now for £30.85 while the boxed PC version is down to £27.99 – that is, as long as you don’t mind getting the massively pointless code-in-a-box version.

Look, I know how much you want to play the Milk mini game, but why buy 1-2 Switch when you can just buy the Farming Simulator 17 while it’s on offer for £17.14? There’s a whole lot more to simulate than milking a cow, after all.

Odds are good that if you were going to buy the big, bulky collector’s edition of Uncharted 4 that by now, you would have. If, for whatever reason, you don’t own this one and fancy it, it’s cheaper than ever at GAME – down to £44.99 when you use the code MVC10 during checkout.

Look, I’m not telling you to get this PS4 Slim console that comes with both Uncharted 4 and XCOM 2 while it’s discounted down to $230. But I’m also not NOT telling you to buy it. All that aside, those are both rather nice games with a nice console, so…

Logitech’s G602 gaming mouse is one of the better gaming mice (mouses?) available on the market right now, which makes it a little bit nice to know that it’s currently discounted down to $39.99, which is about half price.

There’s always a man, a lighthouse and a deal on Bioshock Infinite’s PC edition. This time, you can grab yourself a Steam key for the game for $5.99 from Amazon US.
