As usual, we’ve got deals that’ll work in the UK, deals that’ll work in the US, and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places. Let’s get started.

Valve is also selling both of these accessories at their respective discounted prices directly through Steam but keep in mind that you’ll pay extra for postage going directly through Steam and both GAME and Amazon US offer free shipping.
At the Humble Store right now, you can pick up a Steam copy of ultra-violent wave-based murder sim Killing Floor for absolutely nothing. That’s it, it’s free for a limited time, no catch here, just grab a copy while you can.

If you’re a Twitch Prime subscriber, you can get yourself a free Golden Loot Box for Overwatch this week.

Head on over to the link below for more info on how to redeem your free Golden Loot Box. For what it’s worth, I got that Hanzo wolf skin and that was pretty neat.

Farpoint hasn’t been out for that long – a matter of weeks, in fact – but it’s already seen a massive discount, cutting the price down to £19.85 at ShopTo right now. Of course, this is the version that doesn’t come with the PS VR Aim controller but still, it’s a big price cut for such a new title.

LEGO Dimensions has been around since late 2015 and yet, so far, shows no sign of going away like it’s dearly departed toys-to-life brethren. Every few months, a new licensed pack of characters or levels emerges to remind you that LEGO Dimensions is a thing. If you’d like to experience that for yourself, you can head over to Argos this week, where the game’s starter pack is currently half price.

Currys PC World (that combined name still sounds weird to me) is currently having itself a bit of a sale on various bits of tech. Notably, this ASUS Transformer 3 Pro 2-in-1 tablet/laptop thingy is reduced by a whopping £400, bringing the price down to £599 for a limited time. Sure it’s still not exactly cheap but it’s a big price drop.
