We all love playing video games, but with new titles going for $60 or more depending on the edition, the hobby gets expensive fast. Thankfully, many gaming retailers have regular sales to save you money. But even so, it's hard to know if you're getting the best deal available at any given time. To help solve that problem, we've gone through the week's video game sales and highlighted the best game deals for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Before looking at the discounts, though, you should make sure you've picked up all the free games you can get. PlayStation Plus members can download some fantastic games for free this month, including Destiny 2 (for next month's freebies, see the video above). Xbox Live Gold subscribers can also grab a few freebies right now, and if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can get five free PC games from Twitch.
With that out of the way, let's look at this week's best discounts on individual games.

The latest installment of the best football game franchise around is $20 off this week.
