If you're looking for Boxing Day gaming sales, it's a better day for discounts on software than it is for consoles. That's partly because demand has been so high in the run-up to Christmas in the UK, with every major console basically selling out – most notably the newer Xbox Series X and PS5 hardware, which have been nearly impossible to get hold of since their November releases in the UK.
In the Boxing Day sales, then, most of what we're seeing is price cuts on recent games across PS5, Xbox Series X, PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. Ubisoft's three big 2020 open world games are the frontrunners for the best discounts, here: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, Watch Dogs Legion and Immortals Fenyx Rising are all cheaper than they were at launch across the board. But if you're a new PS5 owner, you'll also find okay discounts on launch window games like Demon's Souls and Godfall. Considering those games retail up to £69.99, any price cut is surely welcome.
Below, we've rounded up the best Boxing Day gaming sales we're seeing in the sales so far – but, since the day is early, we'll update this page if we see more out there that catches our eye. We've tried to track down a few decent Nintendo Switch bundles, as well as deals on games we think you'll actually want to buy.
