Xbox Game Pass is $30 for six months on Amazon. But if you don't have it yet, be sure to grab your first month for $1 first on the Microsoft Store (so you can get seven months for $31).
Game Pass is a pretty great deal that lets you download a buttload of games that span Xbox's entire history, and you can play them as much as you want until the subscription expires. It's got a pretty solid lineup of games, and a real highlight right now is State of Decay 2, but Gears 4, Portal Knights, and Payday 2 should appeal to a lot of ya, and even that tech demo Sea of Thieves is fun is short bursts if you can get a team together (yup, still the best water in any game)!

If you preorder Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season for $20 on the MS store (and it's pretty much guaranteed to be good), you instantly get all of the Walking Dead seasons for free. It's a pretty critically acclaimed series, and that deal is pretty great.

Titanfall 2: Ultimate Edition for $6.
If you want a free copy, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and let me know in the comment section below. I'll pick a "random" person to send it to through a heavily biased selection process.

Elite Dangerous for $15.
People here like it, and if it looks appealing to you, you can pick up the Deluxe edition for $36, which includes a laundry list of DLC, plus a bunch of paint jobs for your ships.

Assassin's Creed Origins for $30
The hype (and Photo Mode spam) has died down, and a new game is on the way, but people say that this entry has revitalized the dreadfully stale AC formula, so that's a plus! On the game's page, there's a link to the Deluxe Edition for $38.49, or the Gold Edition for $50, which you should probably pick up, because there's nothing but great stuff being said about the game's DLCs.

Battlefield 1: Revolution for $15
Bluerunner advocates for this game. Maybe he just wants a Squad, or maybe he's right. We'll never know. But what I do know is that Revolution includes both Battlefield 1, which had a pretty solid campaign, and the entirety of the game's season pass, along with a bunch of cosmetic bonuses. Sounds like a pretty great deal.

Battlefield 4 Premium Edition for $12
I've been playing Battlefield 4 a bit recently. It's still loads of fun, even though the servers pickings are slim. Still, since everyone's decided to go back to ye olde days, or hop to the distant future, it's the best modern-combat game out right now.

Cuphead for $16.99
It's a charming enough game, and the co-op aspect is fun. Definitely turned out way better than I thought it would.

Destiny 2 + Expansion pass for $39
I'd like to thank our follower who goes by the username "Claude Errera" for the heads up on this one. Barring any announcements in the coming week, this is the best price D2 has ever been at.

Dying Light: The Following Enhanced Edition for $20.09
Still great, still getting content, and it's got a huge amount of different things to do.
