Amazon Prime's streaming service might not have the same heavy hitters as Netflix and Disney Plus, but it does have one significant perk that its rivals do not. Deals on thousands of products through Amazon, likely the leading reason most people have Prime. Prime Day is upon us which means there has never been a better time to be a subscriber, especially if you're on the hunt for video games.
There are a lot of deals on video games this Prime Day, some of which you can check out via the link below. Make sure you're not in the same room as your backlog before checking it out so you don't feel too guilty, especially if Elden Ring is one of the titles you plan on picking up this Prime Day. At a third off, now is the very best time to pick up 2022's Game of the Year if you haven't played it already.
Elden Ring was in the spotlight so much when it launched last year, it might be hard to believe there are people out there who still don't own a copy. The reality is, while it might not be cool to admit it, Souls games are pretty intimidating for people who have never played one before. Despite its popularity, and being labeled by some as the most accessible Souls game to date, dropping $60 on a game you might find too difficult, or maybe even downright hate, might not be all that appealing.
Elden Ring
Elden Ring, the winner of more Game of the Year awards than any other title ever, is currently available for a lot less than most of the millions of others who played it at launch paid for it. The best time to jump on the bandwagon is now.
If that sounds like you, or you were simply on the fence about Elden Ring and the price point was the one thing preventing you from jumping on the bandwagon, then now's the time to finally give it a whirl. Selling for $40 on Amazon this Prime Day, paying a third less than everyone else did for Elden Ring when it launched means if you do agree with everyone else that it was last year's best game, you're getting the same experience for a lot less.
It might be argued that now is a better time to jump on the Elden Ring hype than ever outside of picking it up at launch. That's because its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has been announced. No release date to speak of just yet, but if you do end up getting lost in The Lands Between as much as others have done, there will be plenty to keep you busy until FromSoftware decides to clue us in on when Elden Ring's first major expansion will be here.
