This weekend edition of the Dealmaster is focused exclusively on video game discounts for PlayStation and Xbox owners, as both Sony and Microsoft kicked off wide-ranging sales on their respective online stores earlier this week. The former's PlayStation Summer Sale runs through August 18—with Sony promising a second batch of discounts arriving on August 4—while the latter's Xbox Ultimate Game Sale will last through August 5.
These are not the first sweeping sales each company has run on their digital shops this summer, but as before, the new promotions discount several hundred games across last- and current-gen consoles (plus a few PC games, in Microsoft's case). Also like before, most of the offers advertised in each sale aren't great deals, either because the game in question is lackluster or because the discount isn't much lower than the street price we've seen in recent months.
So, as we like to do with the Dealmaster, we've looked through the entirety of Sony's and Microsoft's selections so you don't have to, picking out the genuine deals along the way.
