The best gaming deals this week

Armored Core 6 quickly became one of 2023’s most popular games among the Polygon staff thanks to its fast-paced combat, and the staggering amount of mech customization options. Despite being made by the same studio that made Elden Ring, it feels totally different to play than you might be expecting. If you haven’t had a chance to try AC6 for yourself, the digital version for PlayStation and Xbox is discounted to $41.66 (was $59.99). A few months ago, physical copies were selling for $39.99.

While business on the planet of Rubicon is sometimes unforgiving, we’d highly recommend giving Armored Core 6 a try if you’re a fan of epic boss battles, challenging combat, or just big robots in general. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you, 621.
