By A carefully selected compilation of hits

After several weeks of eager waiting, Xbox’s major Spring Sale is officially underway for 2025, featuring more than 1,000 games with discounts available—spanning virtually every Xbox generation.
Consequently, it will require thorough searching and browsing to find games that appeal to you—but if time is limited and you’re in need of ideas, we’ve assembled a list of 10 of the greatest and most essential titles on offer in this extensive sale.
We aimed to introduce some appealing diversity into this compilation — including a backwards compatible classic or two — but it’s likely that you can’t go wrong with any of these offered titles. Now, let’s proceed to the list!
Baldur’s Gate 3 (Xbox Series X|S)
Where else can this compilation logically commence other than with the behemoth that is Baldur’s Gate 3? After lengthy months of development to refine the Xbox Series S edition, Larian Studios launched this expansive RPG just before the conclusion of 2023 – and it has been so well-received that it’s rarely featured discounts since its release.
We’re only observing a 20% discount on this title, yet given the vastness and intricacy of this current-gen CRPG, it’s certainly worth the reduced price – and then some.
$55.99 / £46.39 (-20%)
Hogwarts Legacy (Xbox Series X|S)
We’re focusing on the ‘Digital Deluxe’ version here, which we believe to be the best bargain, and it’s an impressive 75% off—definitely a deal you can’t overlook. Now is the perfect moment to dive into your enchanting journey on Xbox!
$19.99 / £18.74 (-75%)
Nobody Wants to Die (Xbox Series X|S)
Nobody Wants to Die emerged unexpectedly when it debuted on Xbox Series X|S last summer – having faced a brief marketing period from publisher PLAION. We were a bit apprehensive leading up to our review of the narrative-driven cyberpunk thriller last July — but there was no need for concern—the game was just as engrossing as its premise suggested.
While you may not anticipate complex gameplay mechanics here, Nobody Wants to Die provides a brief yet impactful detective narrative centered on the challenges and experiences of eternal life – and it’s certainly worth a shot at under ten bucks.
$12.49 / £9.99 (-50%)
