In today’s daily deals for Sunday, July 23, you can stack Xbox Game Pass months before the price goes up. Plus, save on Sonic Origins Plus, grab the recently-released Pikmin 4, take advantage of a huge Square Enix sale at Amazon, and more. These deals and more below.

First Big Discount on Sonic Origins Plus

Sonic Origins Plus is a big upgrade over last year’s Sonic Origins, and it’s the first time the compilation is available physically. Today, we’re seeing the first big discount on the physical version since launch, as you can grab it for $10 off today. Origins Plus includes remastered versions of Sonic 1, 2, 3 and Knuckles, and CD, a bunch of challenge missions, a Sonic museum, and 16 Sonic Game Gear titles. The physical version also comes with a pretty nifty art book that Sonic fans will love.

Pikmin 4 Is Out Now

Pikmin 4 is the first big Nintendo game since Tears of the Kingdom launched in May, and let me tell you, it’s the perfect palette cleanser for anyone wrapping up their adventures in Hyrule. Pikmin 4 is easily the series’ biggest swing yet, with a ton of explorable areas and caves, upgrade trees, night gameplay, upgrade trees, and the new adorable dog companion, Oatchi. I’m about six hours in, and I’m in love with the relaxing Pikmin gameplay.

Huge Sale on Square Enix Games at Amazon

Square Enix published a monster number of games last year — maybe even too many. A lot of those games flew under the radar, and pretty much all of them are on sale today at Amazon. So, check out Switch ports of hits like NieR Automata and Life Is Strange, new entries in the Star Ocean and Valkyrie series, the best Theatrhythm yet, and a lot more.

Get Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy for Under $10

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy really flew under the radar when it launched a few years back. Call it superhero fatigue, but this video game really deserved more love than it got. It’s a rock solid third-person action adventure featuring all the clever, heartfelt writing you would expect from the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection Is $16.49

Hooked on Street Fighter after Street Fighter 6? Experience the origins of the series with the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. This compilation includes all versions of Street Fighter 1, 2, 3, and Alpha, making for 12 versions of Street Fighter in all.

Hallmark Metroid Samus Ornament Is 23% Off

It’s been great to see Nintendo getting in the ornament game more and more each holiday season, and this year, it’s Samus’ turn. The Metroid star is getting a pretty sweet Hallmark ornament, and you can preorder it today at a discount.

The Legend of Zelda Complete Box Set for 34% Off

Are you on a Zelda kick thanks to Tears of the Kingdom? Well lucky for you, there’s a ton of Zelda stuff out there. This includes The Legend of Zelda manga box set, which is discounted by 34% today over at Amazon. This box set includes 10 manga volumes, which adapt the stories of classic Zelda games like Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, and a lot more. The art is gorgeous, and it’s fun to experience the world of Zelda through stories where Link actually… Talks!

The Pokémon GO Plus + and Pokemon Sleep Are Both Out Now

Pokemon Sleep is available now, letting you gamify your rest, if that’s something you’re into. The Pokemon Go Plus + peripheral enhances the experience with a Pikachu that will sing you to sleep. It also works with Pokemon Go, letting you spin Poke Stops automatically and use Great Balls and Ultra Balls without having to pull out your phone.

Get Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes for 50% Off

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is a great musou take on the world of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, merging the gameplay of Dynasty Warriors with the world and characters of Nintendo’s strategy RPG series. Much like Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, this game takes an alternate history approach to the events of Three Houses, providing a different take on how the war might have played out. And it does that alongside the most fleshed-out version of Dynasty Warriors combat so far, successfully merging turn-based strategy with mowing down hordes of enemies. It’s a great time.

Stack More Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Before the Price Hike

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is getting a price hike later this year, as a monthly subscription is rising from $14.99 a month to $16.99 a month. It’s not too late to stack your subscription a bit to save a few bucks down the road, and you can do so with the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate codes available today at Best Buy.

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Core for 21% Off

The Xbox Elite Core controller is a good choice for those looking for something in between the most basic controller, and the Elite Series 2. It has adjustable tension thumbsticks, a rubberized grip, and shorter hair trigger locks. You can also save up to three custom profiles on the controller and switch between them anytime you want. You can get this controller on sale today for 21% off.

Studio Ghibli: The Complete Works Book Is On Sale

Studio Ghibli: The Complete Works dives into all 26 of the iconic studio’s feature films, from classics like Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke to more recent works. The book is entirely in color, giving you an unprecedented look at some of the best animated movies ever made.

65″ Hisense U8H 4K Mini LED Gaming TV for $799

HDMI 2.1 for 4K @ 120Hz

If you’re in the market for an excellent, future proofed gaming TV but want to keep your budget to under $1K, then take a look at the 2022 65″ Hisense U8H TV. Right now it’s marked down to only $799 on Amazon, which is the best price we’ve seen ($40 cheaper than Amazon Prime Day).

The UH8 was Hisense’s flagship 2022 TV. It easily competes and surpasses similarly priced models from more well known brands like Samsung, LG, and Sony. The biggest upgrade from 2021 is the new Mini-LED panel, which combined with quantum dot technology (QLED) makes for a markedly better and brighter picture than the previous generation. The Hisense U8H is also an excellent gaming TV. It has a native 120Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 inputs. That means it can pass true 4K @ 120Hz on PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles.

PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT Video Card for $749.99

If 4K gaming is what you’re after, then there’s no way around the fact that you’ll need a powerful graphics card. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU normally retails for $899.99, but today you can get it for only $749.99. Even better, you also get a free copy of Starfield when it’s released.

The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is AMD’s second most powerful card. It is more powerful than any previous generation card released, and that goes for NVIDIA’s offerings like the RTX 3090 and 3090 Ti as well. It’s roughly on par with the new GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. However, at this price it’s actually less expensive than the RTX 4070 Ti, even though the 4070 Ti normally commands a lower MSRP.

27″ HP OMEN 27Q 2560×1440 165Hz IPS Gaming Monitor for $209.99

This Prime Deal deal is back! The HP OMEN 27″ gaming monitor features a 2560×1440 QHD resolution, 1ms response time, 165Hz refresh rate. The IPS panel offers wide viewing angles, great color reproduction (99% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 color space), and up to 400 nits of peak brightness.

Silicon Power 2TB PS5 SSD with Heatsink for $89.07

Includes built-in heatsink!

The Silicon Power XS70 SSD with a preinstalled robust aluminum heatsink costs just under $100. The aluminum heatsink is still slim enough to fit in the PS5 without obstruction. It boasts transfer speeds of up to 7300MB/s read and 6800MB/s write, comfortably faster than the 5500MB/s minimum recommended requirement. It actually performs a little better than the Crucial P5 Plus, the original WD Black SN850, and the Samsung 980 Pro, although that won’t make a difference in your PS5.

WD Black SN850X 2TB PS5 SSD with Heatsink $119.99

The WD Black SN850 is the most popular SSD upgrade option for the PS5 console. That’s not a surprise, considering WD is the only company that sells an officially licensed PS5 SSD. The SN850X is WD’s fastest M.2 SSD current available. It’s a generation update from the original SN850 with faster speeds. It easily fulfills all of Sony’s requirements, like a minimum read speed of 5,500MB/s, a PCI-Express Gen4x4 interface, and a slim yet effective heatsink that fits within the confines of the PS5 bay.

Alienware Aurora RTX 3070 Gaming PC for $1299.99

The Alienware Aurora R13 config features a liquid cooled Intel Core i7-12700F GPU, GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-4400MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The Alienware Aurora R14 config features a liquid cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, 16GB of DDR4-3200MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Both systems are powered by a 1000W 80PLUS Platinum power supply.

The RTX 3070 might be a generation old but it’s still no slouch. It’s faster than RTX 2080 Ti. Compared to the new RTX 40 series GPUs, the 3070 is neck and neck with the RTX 4060 Ti. This is a great card for running games at at up to 1440p. It’s also great for running games at 1080p but with higher refresh rates that so many gaming monitors support these days, like 144Hz or even 240Hz.
