Boost your digital library for cheaper

While it’s no digital games are increasing in popularity because of For their convenience and immediacy, the other side of the equation is that electronic titles tend to be as expensive, if not more pricey, compared to physical copies of games nowadays. But if you strongly prefer to buy games sensibly, Target’s most recent weekly bargain will be of interest, as the retailer is offering 20 percent off electronic downloads all week , including full games (for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC), add-ons, in-game monies, and season moves. You will be given a link via email, according to Target after purchasing the download. It is worth mentioning Amazon is price-matching some of those deals too.

Notably, the deal carries a discount on the Super Smash Bros.. Ultimate Fighters Pass for Nintendo Alter, which is discounted to $20 from $25 (Amazon has it for the same price). That’ll make you all five Challenger Packs, which includes five bonus fighters, stages, and songs. Three brand new fighters have been released–the Hero from Dragon Quest Joker, and Banjo-Kazooie –and two more will join the roster of Smash Ultimate .

You can also get a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online Family Membership For just $28–it generally sells for $35. We last saw this deal during Prime at Target Day 2019, and it did not stay around for long. In case you’ve got several friends or family interested in Switch Online, obtaining the household membership will definitely get you the biggest bang for your buck, as you can divide the price of the membership and get Switch Online access for as many as eight Nintendo account holders. With this deal, that drops the price of a 12-month membership to as low as $3.50 per individual. Note that if you already have a family membership, you are able to pile this on top of your current subscription to extend it but you can’t combine a single membership and a family membership.

Nintendo’s beginner-friendly picture of Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu, is just $36 within the sale, down from $60 originally (the Eevee variant is $40, for some reason). Cozy farm sim Stardew Valley is $11.60, Minecraft is only $14.40, and Super Mario Party is just $40. You can also grab Dragon Hunter World For $42.40 on Xbox One, especially great deal considering its hefty Iceborne expansion releases September 6, with a beta test coming up next week for Xbox owners.

1 note: We noticed a few of Target”sale” prices are now more expensive than what you’ll find in the Nintendo Eshop (Breath of the Wild’s expansion pass, Gris, Hyper Light Drifter, Etc.), thus we recommend double-checking the sale price against the Platform’s digital shop if you buy something not listed below. Also, Remember that the bodily editions for some of these games may be cheaper elsewhere. See the complete offering of bargains at Target, and see some of our selections below.
