The Best Buy 12 Days of Gaming sale has updated to include a brand-new offer, letting gamers get their hands on the critically-acclaimed Gears 5 for an extremely low price for a limited time. The Best Buy 12 Days of Gaming sale updates its offers every single day, giving gamers one day to take advantage of the deals. And while some companies offer underwhelming holiday deals, Best Buy has definitely gone the extra mile to deliver some quality deals so far.
The previous deals have included massive discounts on popular games like The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD and Madden NFL 23, not to mention deals on Nintendo Amiibo figures and gaming headsets. One of the most notable deals was one that allowed gamers to get a discount on PlayStation Store gift cards, which essentially meant that they were getting some PlayStation Store credit for free.
The latest Best Buy 12 Days of Gaming deal, available as of Wednesday, December 7, lets gamers get Gears 5 for a mere $4.99, discounted from its usual asking price of $39.99. Gears 5 was originally released in 2019 and stands as one of the most notable Xbox console exclusive games of the last few years. Gears 5 earned acclaim from critics, with many praising it as yet another strong entry in the long-running third-person shooter franchise. Those interested in the deal can click here to see it and add Gears 5 to their collection without breaking the bank.
Of course, it's worth pointing out that Gears 5 is readily available on the Xbox Game Pass subscription service as well. Anyone with an Xbox Game Pass subscription, regardless of which tier they're signed up for, can jump into Gears 5 for nothing more than what their subscription costs. A year's worth of Xbox Game Pass costs a great deal more than the $4.99 one could get Gears 5 for right now, though, so that needs to be taken into consideration.
Then again, it wouldn't make much sense for someone that games on Xbox regularly to not be signed up for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, especially since they can get it for free. Anyone diligent about completing Microsoft Rewards quests every day can earn enough credits to never have to pay real money for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and doing so only takes about five minutes per day. Regardless, getting a physical copy of Gears 5 for just $4.99 is still a steal, and so anyone interested will want to jump on this deal while it's still available.
Gears 5 is available now for PC, XBox One, and Xbox Series X.
