It's been an unusual year for Xbox, to put it mildly. While we've seen some truly outstanding game releases (with more on the way), the recent price increase for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has led many players to consider simply purchasing their games outright.
Fortunately, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days is running numerous discounts, with some prices slashed by over 70%. Here are our top picks so far.

To complete the game deals, Split Fiction is available at half price, with the cooperative adventure reduced to $24.98. NBA 2K26 is $63.94—almost 10% off its launch price from last month.
Savings are also available on the Xbox Wireless Controller, with the gamepad now priced at $51.25. Given its excellent compatibility with both PC and console, this is a solid deal, representing a 21% discount from the manufacturer's suggested retail price (especially considering these controllers are significantly more expensive than they used to be).
