Christmas is a time for gift giving, and several outlets are taking this opportunity to provide gamers a chance to get their hands on discounted titles. Aside from Steam and Microsoft, online retailer Amazon is also looking to join in on the fray by offering several titles on sale.

Online retailer Amazon is holding a big sale on several digital titles, Polygon reports. Among the lineup of discounted games are a selection of PC games as well as discounted digital codes for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Interested buyers should act fast as with other Christmas sales, the Amazon sale is up for a limited time only. Some last longer after Christmas, while some last through the end of the year.

Though the Amazon sale doesn’t provide as high as 80 percent discount like the Steam Winter Sale, it does offer a good lineup of titles, most of which are some of the best in gaming in the recent years.

  • Dragon Age: Inquisition — Game of the Year Edition (PC)
  • Sid Meier's Civilization 5 — The Complete Collection (PC)
  • Halo 5: Guardians (Xbox One)
  • Elite: Dangerous (PC)
  • Wolfenstein: The New Order (PC):
  • XCOM: Enemy Within (PC)
  • The Order: 1886 (PS4)
  • Titanfall — Deluxe Edition (PC)
  • The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim (PC)
  • Rare Replay (Xbox One)
  • Just Cause 3 (Xbox One)
  • Destiny: The Taken King (PS4)
  • Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster (PS4)

Meanwhile, Valve’s much-anticipated Steam Winter Sale kicked off recently, and several hit games are already available with discounts. The most notable are 2015’s finest games, which include “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” and “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.” The discounts range from an acceptable 25 percent to a very purchase-worthy 80 percent. What’s even better is Valve is offering discounts on several game series, so players can buy an entire franchise in a discounted bundle.
