　　With many big games now holding $70 launch prices, there may be less room in a monthly budget for some much-needed escapism. So how do you get a game at a more affordable price? One method is to just wait it out, but if you're after instant gratification, another option is heading over to QVC's site and getting $30 off any brand-new game. Here's how it works (h/t Wario64).

　　First off, you'll need an QVC account so that you can do some shopping on the online site, and once you have your game of choice, you can make use of a promo code to save big. For games that cost $60 or more, you can save $30 by redeeming the code NEWQVC30 when you check out; If the game you're eyeing doesn't reach that $60 price, you can use code NEWQVC20 for a $20 discount off of products that cost at least $40. These codes can only be used once. As for the games on offer, there's a fantastic selection of new and recent releases to choose from.

　　Easily the biggest draw here is Mortal Kombat 1, which retails for $70. Getting the new fighter for PS5 or Xbox Series X at a massive discount during its launch week is nothing to sneeze at, as it'll be months before it gets a sizable drop in price. Mortal Kombat 1 has been going in and out of stock at QVC, so you may want to hurry if you're interested in this one. If you'd prefer Capcom's excellent brawler, Street Fighter 6 is also available through this promotion, as are other big hits include Diablo 4, Starfield, and Madden NFL 24.

　　For Nintendo fans, the chance to get a a first-party Switch release is going to be very tempting. Nintendo rarely offers discounts as large as this for its games, so being able to purchase titles like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, or Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury for just $30 ($40 in the case of Tears of the Kingdom) is a very rare opportunity that's worth seizing. For a full breakdown, here's what you can grab from QVC:
