That's why each week, we're bringing you the best gaming deals we can find, so you can stay in the know about the hottest new games without stressing over video game-induced debt. Whether you're looking to catch up on your backlog with discounted titles or are hoping to freshen up your setup with some new hardware, we've got you covered.

Our pick: 'Star Wars Jedi: Survivor'
$31.49 in the PlayStation Store (save $38.50)

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

"It ain’t quite Andor," Mashable's Alex Perry wrote last year, "but Jedi: Survivor is one of the better Star Wars experiences you can pay for right now." At the very least, it's a must-play if you liked its predecessor (2019's Jedi: Fallen Order); it has a more powerful story, better world design, and improved combat. The PlayStation Store has it on sale for just $31.49 (or 55% off) until Feb. 15, which is only a few bucks away from last Black Friday's all-time low price.

Our pick: 'Alan Wake 2'
$47.99 at Xbox.com (save $12)

Why we like it

Read Mashable's full review of Alan Wake 2.

The long-awaited sequel to 2010's Alan Wake (which also happens to be on sale for Xbox right now) is a "True-Detective-style acid trip" that "sits at the very pinnacle of the survival horror genre," writes Mashable assistant editor Chance Townsend. It managed to clinch the No. 1 spot on our list of the best games of 2023, and this appears to be its lowest price since its launch. If you have an extra $16 to spare, you can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition to unlock an expansion pass with bonus story content, exclusive character and weapon skins, and more.

Our pick: Nintendo Switch – OLED Model
$349.99 at Dell.com + free $50 Dell gift card

Why we like it

Read Mashable's review of the Nintendo Switch – OLED Model.

Nintendo's latest handheld console features a stunning OLED touchscreen display, a built-in kickstand that helps it thrive in tabletop mode, and 64GB of built-in storage — double the capacity of its older, non-OLED counterpart. It's definitely the best Switch yet (at least until the rumored Switch 2 drops) and it almost never goes on sale. However, this free gift card offer from Dell helps take some of the edge off its $350 price tag.

Our pick: Razer BlackShark V2 Pro
$129.99 at Amazon (save $50)

Why we like it

The first-generation Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is the comfiest gaming headset we've tested: With FlowKnit memory foam ear cushions and a padded headband, you can wear it for hours at a time without getting a headache. It comes equipped with immersive THX Spatial Audio, intuitive on-ear controls, and a crystal-clear mic, and it works with PlayStation and Nintendo Switch consoles in addition to PCs.
