Xbox Summer Sale 2025 Now Live, 1000+ Games Discounted

FFXVI down to £35 already, go get it boys! (And girls)

@Coletrain I’m not sure how it runs or plays on the Series X, but it’s one of my favorite Final Fantasy games in the entire franchise. I hope those interested in the game will purchase it because it deserves support.

@Kraven it plays great in graphics mode, performance mode is far too low res for a 4k TV (but locked to 60fps) and doesn't do it justice.

After the brotastic cringefest that was FFXV I'm over the moon with it, deserves to be bought

Dragon Quest 3 Remake on sale. Gonna grab that one.

@Coletrain That’s a bummer about the performance mode. I am with you — XV was too much of a bromance (though I did like it a little bit) — but XVI hits different. The only real negative I could criticize the game for would be its side quests; however, if you finish them to completion the payoff(s) are incredibly rewarding at the end of the game, and you can appreciate how great the writing is. Unfortunately, some of the side quests leading up to the crescendo can be somewhat dull.

This is one of the best sales in the last years and I still haven't checked all of it!

@Kraven @Coletrain I loved XV. It was also one of the first games I played on Xbox One X and on my first OLED TV. 😁 It was almost 60fps on that console choosing the right video mode, looked great and had a lot of good times. I even enjoyed the combat and mapped the magic spells to each button colour accordingly: red B for fire, blue X for ice, etc. I'll get XVI as I have all the Final Fantasy games on Xbox, along other games on this sale that I still haven't bought.

Avowed - decided to leave it until the autumn update. Perhaps pick up at Christmas when it is fully cooked.
Indiana Jones - not in the sale
Atomfall - not in the sale
Clair expedition 33 - not enough discount yet in this sale
Star Wars Outlaws Tempted by the gold edition, but I still think it will go to 75% off before I pick it up. Don't want to spend too much on it, seeing as already own it on PC.
AC Shadows - Again, will prob be more like 50%-75% by Christmas, so will leave for now.

Might still pick up Robocop. don't think it will improve on 90%

Tempted by FFXVI, but not certain I would like it.

Back to the backlog

@Isca FFXVI has a pretty generous demo you can download! Definitely worth a go - I think I'm going to pick it up in the same based off of how much I enjoyed the demo.

@Scrubchub Thanks - good plan. I'll give it a go

Just gone back to playing Cyberpunk 2077 (from the start) after a 2 year hiatus. Taking it slow this time to familiarise myself with the mechanics ie combat, cyberware, upgrades etc. So much to see and do - and of course NC is incredibly immersive the moment you set foot in it.

For that reason I might pick up PL for £17.

@Banjo- did you 100% it? That adamantoise took some time and willpower for me lol

@Coletrain I did, with all the DLC. There are bits that are annoying, like in most FF games: Adamantoise, Pitioss Ruins... 😅

Of the 35 games listed above, I already own 23 of them. I buy way too many games. Way too many!!!

Of the remaining 12 games, I have no interest in the sports, Lego or fighting titles, which reduces the list of games I don't have but could potentially buy to just 8. Of those eight, the only games I am interested in are:

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
and
Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

I have a passing interest in Star Wars: Outlaws too, but time is my issue. I already have a massive backlog, and if I were to buy any of these games it would probably mean just adding more games to my backlog, and potentially not ever getting round to them, which is a terrible habit of mine...

I bought Symphony of the Night and Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate!

I will be pick up the Cyberpunk 2077 bundle… I will wait on anything Ubisoft if the rumors are true and Shadows and Star Wars are Gamepass bound….

has anyone played the WWE 2k25 game that's the one I'm most interested in it's super duper version is on pretty big discount.

@gravelmonkey cyberpunk for me was like playing Morrowind for the first time. I haven't played the new expansion or since they changed how the skill tree works but it's such a good game

Oh well, there goes the spending spree. I just bought:

• Final fantasy 16 and 12...
• Tails of iron
• The Chant

There goes the backlog.

@Lightbubulz What is XII like? I heard it was far removed from the standard FF game.

@Kaloudz
ff12 is really different from other ff. When it came out in the early 2000's it had this kind of approach with loads of combat but light in the story side. . It's different but reamly good in it's own way. Give it a try you won't regret it.

@Lightbubulz I'll give it a peek. It's one of the very (very) few FF games that I never picked up simply due to it not looking much like an FF game in the gameplay trailers. Thanks dude!

Why is this list short? Why is this list not sort-able or already sorted by discount percentage like all the previous articles that cover the sales? I'm not going through all these games in the store manually I want to only see those that are 75% off or more. Damn man. This really makes me mad, bro. I was hoping Pure Xbox got it right. FOOLS!!!
