Last call: Pre-order Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom before it debuts next Friday

Hello, and welcome once again to Polygon’s weekly dispatch of deals we think you should know about. Every Saturday we list big discounts that you might have missed if you’re not always online. More than just repeating, we’re sharing new deals we’ve come across, as well as insights into what other readers are buying. Let’s go!

This week’s best gaming deals

The momentous occasion is upon us: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be released in less than a week, on Friday 12 May. It’s the biggest game of 2023 and the most important launch in years for the Nintendo Switch.

I’m sure many of you reading this have pre-ordered the game. If you haven’t already, there’s still time to get your hands on a physical or digital copy in time for release day. Stay tuned after the jump for how you can save some money on your purchase.

You can save on your Tears of the Kingdom pre-order if you subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online, the $20 a year service that lets you play online, play NES and SNES games, access game DLC and trials, and back up of your files stored in the cloud.

Having the service gives you the option to purchase a pack of two digital game vouchers for $99.98making it possible to save $30 when you buy Tears of the Kingdom (usually $69.99) plus another $59.99 game. You can see the full list of eligible games here. You can keep vouchers for up to one year, but please note that you must be a subscriber to redeem your voucher.

Star Wars Jedi: SurvivorLast week’s buggy launch overshadowed how good this game is. But now that Respawn and EA have patched the game to improve performance, it’s easier to recommend buying it. If you liked the prequel, Jedi: fallen order (play that first, if you haven’t already), there’s a lot more to love here, and you can get a $10 gift card if you buy it at Amazon or Goal. That’s not quite as good as the $10 sale we saw earlier this week, but it’s a solid freebie nonetheless.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PS5, Xbox)

Cal Kestis and BD-1’s latest adventures have arrived. This game starts right after the events of 2019 Jedi: fallen order.

black meshthe polished, Valve-approved remake of 1997 Half-life with vastly improved graphics, is just $4.99 at Steam. If you’ve yet to play the game that helped put Valve on the map as a game studio, I recommend playing this version.

If you are a PS5 owner who bought it Marvel’s Spider Man for the PS4 anytime, digitally or on disc, you can pay Sony $10 to get the remastered version. Previously, the remaster was bundled inside Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition at the launch of the PS5 in 2020.

There are a few caveats: if you own the game on disc, you’ll need to pop it into your PS5 every time you want to play the digital remaster. And if you’ve claimed an edition of the game with your PlayStation Plus subscription (in other words, if you haven’t explicitly purchased the game), you’re not eligible for this upgrade prize. You have to pay $49.99 to get the remaster.
