Gaming laptop deals

It’s no secret that new video games are expensive, and with October featuring a stacked list of highly anticipated releases, you’re going to have to pick and choose your new purchases very carefully. To add to your game library for less, check out Fanatical , a GameSpot sister site that regularly offers discounts on thousands of Steam games, including new releases and as part of budget-friendly bundles. Until Monday, October 2, at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, you can save even more on games and bundles with a pair of GameSpot-exclusive promo codes. If you plan on taking advantage of both types of promotions–bundles and individual games–you’ll have to place separate orders, as only one promo code can be used in a single order.

Save 10% on Fanatical game bundles

First up, the promo code GAMESPOT10 will give you a 10% discount on game bundles and is valid until October 2. Fanatical offers a wide variety of bundles, often letting you build your own bundle, allowing you to easily create a batch of games from lineups that include massive AAA hits and indie darlings that might have flown under your radar over the years. Fanatical’s game bundles let you get games you’ve been eyeing for drastically reduced prices. Often times, the more games you buy, the better the deal gets.

For example, the Prestige Collection offers games like Deathloop, Wasteland 3, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, and other prestigious titles, and you can claim two of those games for just $15. If you’d like more games, the discount here essentially offers up to four games for as little as $7.25 each, and the promo code above further slashes that price. Then you have other bundles on offer, like Bethesda Favorites, the Kalypso Greatest Hits bundle, and Fanatical Favorites. If you feel like taking a chance, you can even grab the affordable Mystery Vault bundle and see what surprises await you. The vast majority of games on offer at Fanatical are Steam keys, and many of them are confirmed as playable on Steam Deck.

• Prestige Collection
• Mystery Vault Bundle
• Killer Bundle 27
• VIP Mystery Bundle
• Fanatical Favorites
• Bethesda Favorites
• Platinum Collection
• Build Your Own Bento Bundle 3
• Build Your Own Indie Legends Bundle
• Build Your Own VR Adventure Bundle
• Build Your Own Diamond Collection Bundle
• Kalypso Greatest Hits Bundle
• New Realms 2 Bundle
• Intrigue Bundle 2
• STALKER Complete Bundle

Save an extra 5% on individual games

The second promo code is GAMESPOT5 , which will give you an additional 5% discount on games, even if they’ve already been discounted. The only exceptions here are Star Deals, preorders, Starfield, and Mortal Kombat 1, but otherwise you can use this code when you checkout to save a few more bucks off of your purchase. Some of the standout deals in this section include Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, From Software’s return to its mechanized roots, demon-slaying game Blasphemous 2, and the sandy God of War-inspired action of Atlas Fallen. We’ve also included links to games from several ongoing publisher sales, including Sega, Capcom, and Ubisoft.

Please note that promo codes do not stack, but keep in mind that many new releases that aren’t already discounted, such as Starfield and Lies of P, are eligible for a 17% discount via promo code FANATICAL17. Plus, you can get a free “highly rated” Steam game with most new releases.

With a new month almost here, Amazon Prime members can look forward to a refreshed selection of games with the October Prime Gaming library. In the spookiest of months, Prime Gaming is offering a fitting supernatural adventure, Korean horror, a monstrous prom, and more to celebrate the Halloween season. As usual, these games can be claimed from the Prime Gaming hub , and subscribers can also grab some extra loot in October for several online multiplayer games.

Prime Gaming free games for October 2023

October 5

• GRUNND
• Ghostwire: Tokyo

October 12

• The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters Deluxe Edition
• Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp

October 19

• The Textorcist

October 26

• Super Adventure Hand

The marquee title for October is easily Ghostwire: Tokyo , a fun first-person spell-slinger in which you can run around Tokyo busting malevolent ghosts haunting the Shibuya district. Formerly a PlayStation and PC exclusive, Ghostwire: Tokyo arrived on Xbox Series X|S several months ago. Developed by Tango Gameworks, the same studio behind Hi-Fi Rush and The Evil Within, Ghostwire: Tokyo is a stylish romp through an open-world section of Tokyo that hides plenty of secrets, spectres, and threats that you’ll have to manage while weaving spells. It’s not terribly frightening, but it does have several great jump-scares mixed in with its action.

The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters is a more terrifying game in comparison, as this Korean survival-horror game tasks you with leaving a deserted school and surviving the horrors that lurk in the night. You’ll need to use everything at your disposal to avoid a demoness hellbent on murdering you, explore the surrounding Sehwa district, and uncover the shadow realm’s dark secrets in this stylish game where you’ll never feel safe.

For something that won’t put you in danger of cardiac arrest, there’s Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp , a multiplayer dating sim with wonderful art and humor. Like the previous game, you’ll be romancing your way through a summer camp filled with new and familiar monster faces while making use of the campfire mechanics to find your one true love. Then there’s The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibia , a punishing and brutal bullet hell game where you’ll have to dodge projectiles and type out exorcisms.

GRUNND is a handcrafted mystery adventure where you travel through a town that appears ordinary on the surface but has a surreal and twisted nature lurking beneath that facade. A blend of narrative-driven noir and sci-fi, this unnerving adventure sees you uncovering hidden agendas and lurking gods. Lastly, Super Adventure Hand is a bizarre handventure game in which you control an appendage across several gripping 3D platforming stages. It sounds like a handful, but at least it’s a fun premise.

Amazon Prime members can also grab a selection of Halloween skins, in-game currency, and more for games like Asphalt 9: Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare 2, Dead by Daylight, Diablo IV, Roblox, and more in October. Subscribers can also stream a handful of games at no extra charge throughout the month via the Prime Gaming Channel on Amazon Luna. The list of games includes Devil May Cry 5, Trackmania, Orbital Bullet, Dusk, and Bee Simulator.

If you’re interested in the freebies but don’t have a Prime membership, new members can sign up for a free 30-day trial . Even if you aren’t eligible, you could always grab a one-month membership for $15 to claim these games. Once you claim them, they are yours to keep forever.
