Online retail giant Amazon has launched a major pre-Christmas sale, slashing prices on a host of popular PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X video games. The discounts, which include nearly 30% off the latest Call of Duty title, offer gamers significant savings on top-tier releases just in time for the festive season.
Major Titles See Significant Price Cuts
The headline deal is on Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which only launched in November. The price for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X editions has been reduced from £52.95 to £37.99. Purchasers also receive an Amazon-exclusive bonus: a special code to download a bonus calling card for use in the game.
Another blockbuster receiving a heavy discount is the Battlefield 6 Phantom Edition. While the standard edition is currently out of stock, this premium version has been cut from £86.99 to £62.99 for PS5 and £63 for Xbox Series X. This edition includes the full game plus extra digital content like character and weapon skins.
Additional Bargains for Last-Minute Shoppers
The sale extends beyond the biggest shooters. Other notable reductions include:
- Ghost of Yotei: Now £59.95, down from £69.99.
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: A substantial drop to £29.99, previously £69.99.
- EA Sports FC 25: Last year's football title is now just £17.80, reduced from £24.99.
For shoppers worried about delivery times, Amazon has confirmed that orders placed for these discounted games will arrive in time for December 25, ensuring last-minute gifts can be secured.
Gamer Reactions and Console Deals Elsewhere
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has garnered a mixed response from players, holding a 3.5-star average rating on Amazon. However, over half of the reviewers awarded it a perfect five-star score. Positive reviews praise its modern feel, fluid gameplay, and enjoyable Zombies mode, though some note the campaign is a departure from previous series entries.
While this particular sale is focused on software, the article also notes that significant console discounts have been spotted elsewhere. For instance, retailer Joybuy is offering a PS5 Slim Digital Console for £289.99 (down from £429.99) and a PS5 Pro bundle for £599.99.
This wave of price cuts from Amazon provides a final opportunity for gamers to pick up major releases at reduced prices before Christmas, with the retailer guaranteeing timely delivery for the festive day.
