(Update) One of the best Star Wars games in years is 60% off, but there's less than four hours left to take advantage

It's basically impossible to keep track of all the Star Wars TV shows, movies, video games, books, and other projects that come out of one of the most popular sci-fi franchises of all time, but there are some things we'll never forget. When it comes to video games, for me that means Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the original Star Wars Battlefront II, and... the new open-world Star Wars Jedi games.

For a little longer, you can save a ton on a physical copy of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on Xbox Series X|S, and I genuinely can't recommend it enough. $29.99 at GameStop for one of the best Star Wars games of all time and one of the best open-world games released in years is a bargain and a half, but you really will have to act fast.

One of my favorite Star Wars stories in a long time

It's time for a rematch between Cal Kestis and the Ninth Sister. (Image credit: Windows Central)

I really enjoyed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but it was far from my favorite game that I played that year, and I stopped playing shortly after finishing the main story. When Star Wars Jedi: Survivor came out, though, I found myself playing it relentlessly for dozens of hours, eventually completing 100% of the game. Yes, its achievements, its missions, its collectibles, its database — I did absolutely everything I could in Jedi: Survivor.

I loved Star Wars Jedi: Survivor enough that it earned a place in my list of the top five best games of 2023, and I still stand by that. My colleague Samuel Tolbert clearly agreed, too, as he wrote that "With better exploration, fantastic combat, and emotionally-resonant story, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a must-play adventure" in his Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review.

In Jedi: Survivor, you'll continue the journey of Cal Kestis as he attempts to find his place in the galaxy. Kestis is still distraught by the trauma of what happened to the Jedi Order and his failures during the events of Fallen Order (which you don't strictly need to play before Survivor, honestly), but he discovers a faint ray of hope: a secret world hidden away from the Empire. It's an incredible adventure spanning several vast planets and featuring a diverse cast of beautifully written characters. The combat is excellent, the platforming and exploration is much improved; it's all amazing.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is available across Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5, and you can play it through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate via EA Play. Or you can add one of the best Xbox games in years to your shelf with a physical copy that you'll always own for just $29.99 at GameStop. Well, at least you'll be able to do that for a few more hours. Act fast.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is basically Amazon's version of Black Friday. It's an all-online sales bonanza during which thousands of products are heavily discounted, with even more savings in store for Amazon Prime members. It's a great time to cross some products off your wishlist without draining your wallet.

Of course, Amazon is far from the only retailer to go crazy with price cuts during Amazon Prime Day, with many companies like Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and more taking advantage. If you want to save as much as possible, you could also consider a My Best Buy membershipWalmart Plus membership, or a Target Circle membership for exclusive discounts.

When does Amazon Prime Day end?

Amazon Prime Day takes place on July 16 and July 17, 2024, and more specifically ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on Wednesday, July 17. Take note of that time zone, as Prime Day could last longer depending on where you live! If you're in the ET time zone, for example, Prime Day actually ends on July 18 at 2:59 a.m.
