One particularly awesome deal we found is a massive 75% discount on Obsidian Entertainment's The Outer Worlds, which was one of 2019's top RPGs and is one of the best Xbox RPGs ever released. The game is normally $60, but you can snag it during the Xbox Summer Sale for just $15.

Historically, the Xbox Summer Sale has lasted for two full weeks before ending. Therefore, we anticipate that the sale will be live until August 1.
