The Xbox Store is again running a buy one get one free offer on select EA games, including titles such as Dragon Age: Inquisition, Titanfall 2, and A Way Out, and once again, it’s a rip-off.
The buy one get one free deal on EA games is back! This is the third time now the Xbox Store has run a promotion like this — once with Ubisoft titles and now twice with EA games — and each time, it’s been pretty lacklustre and generally not worth it.
Xbox Store offers buy one get one free deal on select EA games
Found in the Xbox Store app on your console under the deals tab, you can now purchase one EA game (from the selection on offer) and get another for free. Games such as Dragon Age: Inquisition, Titanfall 2, and A Way Out are all included. However, it’s an absolute rip-off, as many of these games have been much, much cheaper in the past.
Take Battlefield V Definitive Edition, for example. This edition of the game, which is included in the offer, can be purchased now for $49.99/£44.99, but it has been so much cheaper in the past. In January, you could pick it up for $9.99/£7.99, and in December, even cheaper than that. The same goes for Dragon Age: Inquisition – Game of the Year Edition, which frequently drops down to $7.99/£4.99 (sometimes cheaper). With the current buy one get one free deal, you’ll be stumping up $39.99/£24.99. Sure, you’re not getting another game for free when you’re picking it up at a lower price, but all of these games and their fancy deluxe editions have all been much, much cheaper than what the Xbox Store buy one get one free deal is currently offering.
Our advice would be to just avoid this offer entirely — every single one of these games/editions has been under $10/£10 at some point fairly recently. If you are looking to pick some of these up, then set a price alert up on TA using the links below. That way, you’ll receive a notification when a game drops in price.
