If you’re planning to do a bit of hibernating till spring (like me), you’ll want to stock up your gaming library with a few titles to get you through those long winter nights. While the holiday season may officially be over, that doesn’t mean there aren't some epic deals still to be found. In fact, some titles have dropped back down to their lowest prices ever, or in at least one case, are seeing their deepest discount yet.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the Standard Edition for either PS5 or Xbox Series X, is only $29.99 today at Best Buy. That’s 57% savings. Anyone who's been debating grabbing a copy of the latest Assassin’s Creed main title will want to jump at these awesome savings while you still can. Unfortunately, you won’t see these discounts for the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game, which just came out in December.

Released in March 2025, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the newest mainline entry in the AC franchise. This massive open-world RPG is set in Sengoku-period Japan. And it switches things up this time with two playable protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke. Naoe delivers that nimble, stealth-like gameplay for the classic Assassin’s Creed familiarity, while Yasuke brings more of that heavy-combat, samurai action with a major focus on weapons and armour.

IGN writer Jarrett Green had a chance to review Assassin’s Creed Shadows, giving it high marks, with an impressive 8/10 score. Green even went on to say, “By sharpening the edges of its existing systems, Assassin’s Creed Shadows creates one of the best versions of the open-world style it’s been honing for the last decade.”

Even if you’ve never played any Assassin’s Creed, the story of this game remains relatively self-contained, while fans will still find plenty of lore. But be sure to grab the game now, as this Best Buy deal, which takes $40 off the price tag, is set to expire today.
