The 4th of July is a day for jingoistic mythmaking and summer merriment. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate it than by grilling food, watching things explode, and ordering a bunch of cool stuff online that you totally don’t need but will still be really awesome to have.
Halo’s Joseph Morgan On Playing Nuanced Characters And The Flaws of Season 1
Commerce was a key driver of dissatisfaction with the crown when a bunch of American colonies originally told England to fuck off, so it makes sense that shopping remains a core ritual at the heart of celebrating the nation’s founding. Independence Day is a great time to buy a car or a refrigerator, but you’re not here for any of that. Instead, I’ve rounded up an eclectic mix of 4th of July gaming deals and culturally adjacent curios that happen to be discounted right now. Check them out. It’s what George Washington would have wanted.

Many of the above Switch game deals are also available for the PlayStation versions, as well as these additional ones:

Best PC Game Sales
If you haven’t already looked through our Steam Summer Sale overview you should do that, as there’s a lot of surprisingly steep discounts. So instead, I’ll take this opportunity to highlight a bunch of really good Steam Deck compatible game sales. The PC gaming handhelds themselves are 15 percent off right now. Here’s what you can play on them:
Elden Ring: $42 (30 percent off)Cyberpunk 2077: $30 (50 percent off) Stardew Valley: $9 (40 percent off) Slay the Spire: $8.50 (66 percent off) Dead Cells: $12.50 (50 percent off) Hollow Knight: $7.50 (50 percent off) Halo: The Master Chief Collection: $10 (75 percent off) Marvel’s Midnight Suns: $15 (75 percent off) Risk of Rain 2: $8.25 (67 percent off)Vampire Survivors: $3.50 (25 percent off)Balatro: $13.50 (10 percent off)
Best TV Sales
There are hundreds of cheap TVs to pick from, but I have two for you that should get the job done at either end of your price range. If you’re content to game and stream shows on a budget TV like I am, then Best Buy is currently selling 55-inch TCL Q5 series 4K displays for just $300 (33 percent off). If you want something more fancy, you’re also in luck. While you could spend thousands on a truly top-of the line TV with blacks as dark as an event horizon, you could also splurge on a 48-inch LG OLED. Best Buy is also selling those for just $800 (almost 50 percent off the sticker price).
Best Used Game Sales
GameStop is currently running a buy 2, get 1 free on all used games, including its (very limited) retro collection. It’s great way to catch up on bargain bin stuff you might have never gotten to (Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Watch Dogs 2, GTA V) as well as more recent stuff that hasn’t dropped in value yet. For example, you could play some of 2024’s biggest games so far like Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Tekken 8 and save roughly $50 in the process. Have fun mixing and matching. Just make sure they actually have used copies of the games in stock.
The Best Of The Rest
Here’s where we have fun with a rapid-fire round of some other neat deals:
3 Months of Xbox Game Pass for $35 (24 percent off)Xbox Series X/S controller for $47 (22 percent off)Sony INZONE H3 Wired Headset for $60 (40 percent off)Seven Samurai 4k Blu-ray for $20 (50 percent off in the Criterion sale)Dragon Ball: A Visual History for $25 (38 percent off)Disney Lorcana Into the Inklands Booster Box for $98 (32 percent off)The Lord of the Rings Ilustrated Trilogy for $39 (56 percent off)Hori Nintendo Switch Pikachu Adventure Bag for $25 (17 percent off)Nintendo Switch Lite for $184 (8 percent off) Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet Temporal Forces Elite Trainer Box for $40 (10 percent off)
