While the majority of the Polygon staff is fixated on finding more stuff to throw in Baldur’s gate 3, we’ve been busy rounding up deals that you should definitely check out this weekend. Some of our highlights this week are franchise bundles for Demise And Earthquake available on Steam, in addition to some cool discounts on vinyl for the true audio gourmand.
Below are some of the best gaming and entertainment deals that have caught our eye recently, alongside a handful of the best-selling products that hit Polygon this week.
This week’s best gaming deals
In honor of QuakeCon, id Software’s annual celebration of the groundbreaking first-person shooter that has evolved to champion everything to come out of ZeniMax and Bethesda, Steam is currently offering a pair of bundles that will allow you to play every game in the Doom and Quake franchises combined for less than $45.
The Doom Franchise Bundle usually costs around $115, but during QuakeCon you can add the following titles to your Steam library for just $28.88. This collection also includes the various DLCs and re-releases for all of its titles, making it a truly comprehensive experience for Doom fans. This is what you get:
- Demise
- doom 2
- Doom 64
- doom 3
- Downfall (2016)
- Eternal fate
While the Quake franchise hasn’t enjoyed the same recent successes as Doom (apart from some pretty neat Nvidia RTX remasters), any Quake game and their expansions for just $15.85 at Steam is still a sweet deal. Here’s the full list:
- Earthquake
- Earthquake 2
- Quake 3 Arena
- Earthquake 4
- QuakeLive
- Quake champions
Ahead, there are currently a few excellent Humble bundles that we recommend checking out if you want to add some games to your library without spending a grasp, while at the same time helping non-profits like Girls who code And The Trevor Project.
The Jackbox Jukebox Bundle collects five Jackbox Party packs for only $20. This bundle contains a total of 25 weird and wacky games created to surprise and offend your family and friends at the same time. Some personal favorites in this collection include the classic pun of Quiplashthe doodle-filled chaos of Tee K.Oand the sick rhymes of crazy fresh city.
Humble’s Decades of Horror – Village Edition Bundle is available through August 23, allowing you to add up to 11 Resident Evil games to your Steam library for just $35. The bundle includes some of the biggest titles from the Resident Evil franchise over the past decade. While unfortunately it does not include the 2023 Resident Evil 4 reboot, are some of the highlights Resident Evil village, Resident Evil 7 Biohazardand HD remasters for resident evil 2 and 3.
Finally, there’s another chance to pick up the excellent PlayStation DualSense wireless controller for just $49.99 from Amazon And Best Buy (was $69.99). This is the lowest price we’ve seen for the DualSense controller, and the sale even includes the newer pink and purple color options. The DualsSense controller also has the advantage of working seamlessly with PCs thanks to its Bluetooth connectivity, but you’ll need to plug in the wired USB-C connection to take advantage of the resistant triggers in some games.
The best selling things on Polygon this week
This week’s best entertainment deals
I can’t tell you what the plot is Tron Legacy was, but I can tell you that Daft Punk only delivered bangers for the soundtrack. You can currently use the Original soundtrack on vinyl at Amazon. It usually costs $34.99 but is currently discounted to $24.99. If you want the version with an excellent collection of remixes, you can pick it up Tron Legacy: Reconfigured on vinyl for $45.99 (was $53.99). I still maintain that this is some of Daft Punk’s best work, and the remixes here from artists like Avicii, M83 and the Crystal Method are fantastic too.
If you can’t get enough of it The silo on Apple TV Plus, why not try the illustrated version of the first book in the series? You can currently get Wool: the graphic novel by Hugh Howey at Amazon for $10.79 (was $14.95). Besides our collective infatuation with what is arguably the greatest staircase ever built for TV, we really enjoyed it The silowhich personally reminded me of the 11 Bit Studios Frostpunk in many ways.
If you haven’t had a chance to look The silo yet and want to know more, Apple is currently offering a free two-month subscription to Apple TV Plus for new and returning members. Apple TV Plus is also the only place to watch other sci-fi staples like FoundationAnd For all humanity. This deal gives you 60 days to catch up on all your essential viewing and costs $6.99/month if you choose to continue subscribing.
