This week’s absolute best gaming deals include a few new offers from the likes of Humble Bundle, GOG, GamesPlanet and more. There are even a few extra special Blu-ray box sets if you feel like it. Let’s take a look.
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. Let’s get started.
UK & US Deals

Over at Amazon, you can grab some DIY sets to replace the casing of your Joy-Cons or Switch backplate, allowing you to add some more custom colours to your Switch’s look. At your own risk, of course.

UK Deals
The cost of PlayStation Plus memberships is going up at the end of this month so PlayStation is currently offering a tiny bit of a make-good in the form of 15 months of PS Plus for the price of 12. That’s the current price of 12, by the way, so £39.99 for 15 months. Stock up while you can, since this offer is only good until the price increase. Memberships do stack on your account, too.

The insanely addictive and kind of fantastic Puyo Puyo Tetris on Nintendo Switch has reached its lowest price so far in the UK. TheGameCollection is selling some of its stock via its eBay outlet for £24.95. This edition is from overseas but features full English language settings and, thanks to the Switch’s region-free loveliness, works perfectly anywhere.

As previously mentioned, Ni No Kuni 2’s release brings with it a rather massive collector’s edition in the form of the ‘King’s Edition’. It’s got a lofty RRP of £150, though, so if you’ve got your heart set on picking this up, you’re going to want to head to Base and grab a pre-order for £134.95 while you still can.

Blade Runner is a movie with a truly baffling amount of different editions, releases and cuts. The upcoming release of the film’s 4K version adds one (hopefully final) one to the list. Right now, you can pre-order a beautifully put together Special Edition of the 4K cut of Blade Runner, which also comes with every other edition ever released, all on a set of Blu-ray discs. It’s due out later this year.
Blade Runner 4K Special Edition box set for £39.99 from Zavvi
The big set is also available at Amazon UK, though for a higher price at the time of writing. That price may very well come down if the site decides to price match Zavvi.

If you don’t fancy getting every known edition of the movie, you can opt instead to pick up just ‘The Final Cut’ in its 4K form in a fancy steelbook edition as well.

Even though the show has been on television for a couple of years now and both seasons have been available on Blu-ray for months in the US, the UK has had to wait for boxed editions of Ash vs. Evil Dead. Until now, that is, since both seasons of the show can be pre-ordered on Blu-ray before their October release. Both box sets are currently cheapest over at Zavvi, where they’ll cost you £24.99 each.
Ash vs. Evil Dead Seasons 1 and 2 on Blu-ray for £24.99 each from Zavvi
Both box sets are also available at Amazon UK, though right now they’re priced up noticeably higher, at around £35 each. Worth checking, though, just in case of a price match.

At Humble right now, you can pay a price of your choice and get a whole bunch of PlayStation digital titles in return. These are mostly PS3 downloads with some Vita and PS4 games thrown in for good measure, but it does mean you can save money on a copy of XCOM 2 for PS4. To be able to use these codes, you’ll need a PlayStation account from one of these countries.
