Walmart Holiday Deals 2024: Gaming Console Bundles and More
Walmart holiday deals are here, and there are plenty on deck for the gamer in your life. Chances are, there’s a teen, tween, or even a full-grown adult on your list who is looking to upgrade their ancient gaming system — a PS4 or Xbox One just won’t cut it anymore. When it comes to gaming, you can save on the price of consoles, but most exciting are the bundle deals that include games, accessories, and more. They’re perfect sets for gifting that include everything needed to get racing or shooting virtual hoops right out of the box. If you’re in need of an upgrade to keep up with your friends, don’t hesitate to get a newer console for yourself. You’re saving money, so why not treat yourself?
Top Deals on Gaming Consoles
One of the best deals for those who want to play on the go is a Nintendo Switch bundle that includes Mario Kart 8 and an online subscription to Nintendo’s back catalog of retro gaming classics. The price is down 21 percent and you get everything you need in one click of the “add to cart” button.
The limited edition 30th Anniversary PS5 sold out within minutes (less than 13,000 were made). The digital-only current PlayStation—same hardware, just without the retro paint job—is also out of stock after its sale has been going strong all week. Don’t worry, though; the version with the disc player and a bundle version with the NBA 2K25 game are still available and on sale…for now.
You can get these deals online now, and they’re officially available to in-store Walmart shoppers as well. The sale runs through the weekend, with prices in effect online until 11:59 PM ET Sunday, October 13 — or while supplies last.
