Elden Ring is $20 off, letting new players save before Shadow of the Erdtree arrives
Don’t you know? It’s time to return to Elden Ring to polish your character before the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion drops in June. For those who haven’t played the base game at all (oh, how I wish I could experience this game again with fresh eyes), you have an opportunity to snag a rare discount on Elden Ring, which is required to own if you ever plan to play the upcoming DLC. If you need more convincing, even after it took home Polygon’s game of the year prize in 2022, check out our Elden Ringreview.
At GameStop and Amazon, you can get the PlayStation 5 version of the game for $39.99 (normally $59.99). We’ve seen this price before, but it was during big holiday sale events like Black Friday. Perhaps, since we recently passed Feb. 25, this is a belated two-year anniversary price cut for players to enjoy. Should GameStop and Amazon sell out of their stock, the next best price is $42.99 at Best Buy.

Elden Ring is an open-world RPG with a dark-fantasy setting full of otherworldly creatures and powerful bosses. Players must contend with these obstacles on their journey to become the next Elden Lord.
This deal, unfortunately, excludes gamers who play on Xbox or PC. You can get the Xbox version at Best Buy for $49.99, $10 off the original price (physical copies for the Xbox platform seem scarce at major retailers). On Steam, Elden Ring isn’t participating in the big Steam spring sale, even though it has been previously discounted on that platform.
