Hundreds of games are on sale across almost every platform

It’s Golden Week in Japan right now, a big, week-long stretch of public holidays for the country that is usually filled with celebrations. For those in the West, however, it means big deals on lots of Japanese games, and pretty much every major platform is hosting a sale in honor of the celebrations.

We’ve painstakingly sorted through hundreds of deals across the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Xbox Store, the Nintendo Switch eShop, and Steam to find the best deals for Golden Week 2023.

Best Golden Week 2023 sales - PlayStation

PlayStation’s Golden Week sales last the longest of the bunch, running from today until May 10, 2023. There’s huge savings on games from Capcom, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, and Sega — something you’ll see a lot more of on other platforms too.

Best Golden Week 2023 sales - Xbox

Xbox has a lot of the same discounts as PlayStation (and Steam, and Switch), but there are a few unique sales in here and they’re absolutely worth checking out. Xbox’s Golden Week sale will end in one week, on May 8, so you should probably scoop up anything you’re interested in sooner rather than later.

Here are the best Golden Week deals on Xbox:

Best Golden Week 2023 sales - Nintendo Switch

Nintendo isn’t typically known for its massive sales, but they do often partake in these big events, with plenty of titles on offer at a pretty healthy discount. Don’t expect first-party titles here, beyond the few Mario games still remaining on sale for a few more days. Nintendo’s Golden Week sale ends on May 7.

Here are the best Golden Week deals on Nintendo Switch:

Best Golden Week 2023 sales - Steam

Steam is the home of big sales, so it’s a little bit surprising that it’s a little bit more subdued than other platforms for the Golden Week sale. Still, there’s a few good sales about, and most of them are either Steam Deck verified or at least confirmed to be playable on the Deck. Steam’s Golden Week sale will run until May 8.
