2023 has been filled wall to wall with great games, but one of the low-key best is now selling for its best price. FromSoftware’s Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon is available in disc form for $39.99 ($20 off) at Amazon (PS5 / Xbox / PS4), Best Buy (PS5 / Xbox / PS4), and direct from the Bandai Namco Store.

And this deal is perfectly timed if you find yourself turning into one of those obsessive mecha gearheads, as the game just got a new ranked matchmaking update for its PvP mode.
