Verdict: Yes, This Weekend’s RPG Sales Are Worth Your Time
This weekend’s gaming deals are a coordinated set of Nintendo eShop sale offers, PlayStation weekend deals and Xbox game sales that discount major RPGs like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined alongside console exclusives and subscription services across digital storefronts. As a pure value play, it is worth jumping in if you have even a short wish list. Nintendo’s eShop is cutting prices on Square Enix’s latest wave of remasters and remakes, while PlayStation and Xbox stack their own discounts and subscription perks on top. Several other platforms and services are also running summer gaming sales, so you are not locked into one ecosystem if you are watching your budget. In short: this is a strong, multi-platform sale window, especially for RPG fans who skipped launch prices.
Key price snapshot: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on Switch 2 is 40% off at USD 29.99 (approx. RM140), Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is 30% off at USD 41.99 (approx. RM195), and GeForce NOW’s 12‑month Ultimate tier drops from USD 199.99 (approx. RM930) to USD 129.99 (approx. RM600).
Nintendo eShop Sale: Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest Lead
Nintendo’s eShop sale is the clear headline for RPG players, focusing on Square Enix’s biggest recent Switch 2 releases. According to Shacknews, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on Switch 2 is discounted 40 percent to USD 29.99 (approx. RM140), while Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is down 30 percent to USD 41.99 (approx. RM195). That alone makes this one of the more meaningful Final Fantasy 7 discount windows of the month for anyone who skipped the original release. The same report lists Dragon Quest 1+2 HD‑2D Remake at 35 percent off for USD 38.99 (approx. RM180), Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster at 30 percent off for USD 27.99 (approx. RM130), and Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles at 40 percent off for USD 29.99 (approx. RM140).
Together, these five discounts cover Square Enix’s entire recent remake and remaster slate on Nintendo’s platform in a single promotion, which is unusual for this publisher. Elsewhere on the eShop, a Thunderful publisher sale cuts SteamWorld Dig, SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech and Cake Bash by 80 percent, with deeper discounts on Planet of Lana, Islanders and PHOGS! for players who want smaller indie experiences. There are additional cuts on Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection and Portal Companion Collection, so you can pair classic RPGs with action or co‑op titles in the same Nintendo eShop sale haul.
PlayStation Weekend Deals and Xbox Game Sales
On the other side of the living room, Sony’s July Savings promotion forms the largest PlayStation weekend deals lineup by sheer volume. It discounts Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut by 58 percent to USD 29.39 (approx. RM135) and Horizon Forbidden West by 40 percent to USD 29.99 (approx. RM140), with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Vault Edition also 40 percent off at USD 59.99 (approx. RM280). Diablo 4 is 40 percent off at USD 29.99 (approx. RM140), Gears of War Reloaded is half‑price at USD 19.99 (approx. RM95), and Tekken 8 is cut 40 percent to USD 23.99 (approx. RM110).

RM55).
PlayStation Plus subscribers gain extra value through an additional layer of savings on this catalog and a separate monthly lineup that includes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, For the King 2 and CrossCode at no extra cost while they remain in the library. Xbox’s weekend offers are smaller but focused: ARC Raiders is 25 percent off at USD 29.99 (approx. RM140), Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is 60 percent off at USD 27.99 (approx.

Beyond Consoles: GeForce NOW and PC Storefronts Extend July Sales
If you prefer to keep your library in the cloud or on PC, July’s wider gaming discounts add extra options without forcing you into a single console ecosystem. Several major platforms and subscription services are running summer gaming sales during this same window. Nvidia is running its summer sale on annual GeForce NOW memberships, with the 12‑month Performance tier dropping from USD 99.99 (approx. RM465) to USD 64.99 (approx. RM300), and the 12‑month Ultimate tier falling from USD 199.99 (approx. RM930) to USD 129.99 (approx. RM600), both billed as the best discounts the service has offered this year.
PC players can also pick up DRM‑free games from GOG’s summer gaming sale, which discounts more than 8,000 titles by up to 95 percent. Highlights for RPG and action fans include Yakuza Complete Series at 60 percent off, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut at 75 percent off, Control Ultimate Edition at 85 percent off, the Dino Crisis bundle at 50 percent off, DOOM Eternal: Deluxe Edition at 67 percent off, Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition at 60 percent off and Baldur’s Gate 3 down to USD 45.00 (approx. RM210). One quotable summary from the PC side is: “GOG is running its summer gaming sale through July 9 at 7 a.m. UTC, with over 8,000 DRM‑free titles discounted up to 95% off.”
Timing, Ecosystems and Who These Deals Are For
These overlapping July promotions show a clear multi‑platform sales strategy: console makers and PC services are all courting the same budget‑conscious players with competing offers. Nintendo’s eShop is leaning on premium RPG brands such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, PlayStation is pushing prestige exclusives and multiplayer hits in its July Savings sale, and Xbox is pairing individual discounts with Game Pass member‑only deals. Meanwhile, cloud and PC storefronts like GeForce NOW and GOG keep you from feeling locked into any one box under your TV. Most of these summer gaming sales are in their final days, so if your backlog has obvious gaps, this is the moment to pick a platform and fill them. All prices quoted are in US dollars, and storefronts state that regional listings may vary, so always confirm your local pricing before you buy.
