Rockers, it is that time of year again where all the major video game corporations compete against one another to sell you a variety of different games of your choosing on the console of your choice. Last week, Steam started off the summer celebrations by announcing their summer sale, offering deals on thousands of titles for under sixty dollars. Some of the most notable sales that are being currently offered are Shadows of Mordor ($4.99), Dark Souls 3 ($23.99), Doom ($14.99), Dishonored 2 ($19.99), and Prey ($39.59).
Yesterday morning, Microsoft announced that the Xbox Summer Sale would be returning this year as the Ultimate Game Sale. Starting on June 30th, the Xbox community will have the opportunity to take advantage of a variety of deals on games and accessories. The Ultimate Game Sale will run from June 30th to July 10th. Xbox Live members can save up to 65% on Xbox One and Xbox 360 games, while Xbox Live Gold members can save up to an additional 10% on the listed deals.

Find deals on some of the newest titles such as Injustice 2, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands, Prey, Rocket League, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind and much more. During the sale, an assortment of Backwards compatible Xbox 360 games will be on sale as well, so now might be the time to pick up a game you might have missed or a former favorite that you are just looking to forward to playing again or showing off to someone else. If you still are on an Xbox 360 or you still have both a number of Xbox 360 games will be on sale as well. The Ultimate Game Sale might be a great time to pick up some Xbox 360 titles that might eventually come to the backwards compatibility program.
