After an extremely strong start to the year for new gaming releases, we’re about to enter a bit of a quiet period. Now is a good time to start working through your backlog or circle back to the games from earlier this year that you missed. 

GameStop is here to help you do just that with this massive buy-2-get-1-free sale. The gaming specialty retailer is offering the discount on a whole load of must-play PS5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch titles. 

This promotion isn’t a dressed-up way for the retailer to shift unsold stock either, as the sale includes a whole bunch of new releases. The pick of the bunch is easily Elden Ring, the tough-as-nails action RPG is already a strong contender for Game of the Year. But if you’d prefer something a little less stressful the likes of Mario Kart 8, Halo Infinite and Ghostwire: Tokyo are also included. 

Securing your free game is super straightforward as well, just add three qualifying titles to your cart and the price of the cheapest will be automatically removed at checkout. Make sure to browse the full selection of titles included in the GameStop buy-2-get-1-free promotions, and read on below for some of our top picks.
