This is your last chance to use the NEW15 code on at eBay, as the promo code will expire at 23:59 GMT on January 9 (tonight). So, before it expires, make sure you check it out and have a full browse of everything on offer. My favourites from this deal are definitely the preorder discounts for Hogwarts Legacy and Dead Space, with a particular highlight being the Deluxe Edition of the new wizarding world game coming down to just £59.46. There’s plenty more to check out as well, so see everything else included in today’s Daily Deals just below, and make sure you’re following @IGNUKDeals on Twitter for even more UK deal updates.

TL;DR – My Favourite UK Deals Right Now

Last Chance: Preorder Hogwarts Legacy on PS5 and Xbox for Just £49

Right now you can preorder one of the most hotly anticipated games of the year Hogwarts Legacy for just £48.41. To give you some perspective, its RRP is £64.99, and Amazon currently has it listed for £59.95. This is a huge deal, and well worth considering if you want to get the game on release day.

Not only that, but the (seemingly sold out at every other retailer) Deluxe Edition is also available for just £59.46. This Deluxe Edition will ship three days early February 7 (rather than the regular release day of February 10), and includes a bunch of other digital goodies to enjoy within the game. Just use code NEW15 to receive the discount at checkout.

Last Chance: Use eBay Promo Code NEW15 for Discounts on Video Games and More

All the games listed below are new and sealed and ready for quick dispatch from The Game Collection, a trusted eBay and UK online retailer. My personal favourite deals from below are Cyberpunk 2077 (down to just £14.41), and Sonic Frontiers for just £28.

Last Chance: Dead Space Remake Preorders on PS5 and Xbox for Just £50.11 (was £69.99)

Don’t feel like paying £70 for the Dead Space remake? Well have no fear, you can preorder for just £50.11 with this latest discount. Once again this comes via the NEW15 discount code, and The Game Collection. Simply enter the promo code and your preorder will be secured for January 27.

This is a huge deal, and £20 off the RRP before the game has even dropped. But, just like the deals above, this promo will expire after January 9, so get those preorders in ASAP. For more on the Dead Space Remake, check out our extensive preview coverage here.

Best Random Deals I Love Right Now

These are the best deals that I want to highlight, but can’t necessarily fit anywhere else. Plus you can’t go wrong with some cleaning spray, Goonies in 4K, and a Spider-Man search-and-find book on a cold January evening!

Best Video Game Deals: PlayStation’s January Sale and More

Keeping things simple, here are all my favourite discounts on video games right now. There are a couple of highlights for physical games; including the best deals on Kirby and the Forgotten Land coming down to £36.99, and TMNT The Cowabunga Collection for just £20.99 on PlayStation.

You should also take notice of the PlayStation January Sale that has just added a bunch of new deals, including digital-only discounts on Elden Ring, Spider-Man, FIFA 23, Ratchet & Clank, and more. You can also pick up The Evil Within 2 and Dishonored 2 on PC for free with Prime Gaming right now.

Elden Ring Art Books Are Up for Preorder

It seems that From Software is really onto something with Elden Ring. Not only was it IGN’s Game of the Year 2022, but it’s also been a massive success with fans, selling millions and millions of copies. If you count yourself an Elden Ring fan, you might want to check these out: up for preorder on Amazon right now are volume 1 and volume 2 of the Elden Ring official Art Books. They’re set to publish on July 25, and they’re both on sale for £53.99.

Xbox All Access from £20.99/Month – 24-Months at 0% Interest (AD)

Here’s the gravy; if you minus the £10.99 you’re paying for Game Pass Ultimate, effectively you’re paying £10/month on the Xbox Series S, or £18/month on the Xbox Series X. Funnily enough, this means you can actually save money on an Xbox Series X|S with Xbox All Access (over the course of the 24-month payments). This is as it’s 0% interest over the 24 months, so you pay just £240 for the Series S (~£10 less than the RRP of £249.99), and £432 for the Series X (~£18 off the RRP for £449.99).

So, if you’re already paying for Game Pass Ultimate monthly, or you were definitely going to sign up for it when buying your console; Xbox All Access does seemingly save you money. (Just remember you are still paying for Game Pass in this deal, and it will still be £20.99/ £28.99 every month, Game Pass Ultimate can’t be removed from the offer).

As if beating Malenia – arguably Elden Ring’s hardest boss – wasn’t a feat enough in itself, Twitch streamer MissMikkaa just beat two Malenias at one time with a controller and a dance pad.

MissMikkaa accomplished this astonishing feat during an “Ultimate Challenge Run,” where she tasked herself with playing “two Elden Rings games simultaneously with different controllers (Dance Pad & PS5 DualSense).” She also had to kill the “bosses on the same try on both game instances.”

You can see a clip of the victory below, and you can click here for the full battle.

2x MALENIA HAS BEEN DEFEATED! After 3 days and 199 tries Malenia is dead in the Ultimate Challenge Run where I play Elden Ring twice simultaneously (with a dance pad & controller). In the beginning I was not even sure if this run was possible. Radagon/Elden Beast is next! pic.twitter.com/cS9VQLvrlE

— MissMikkaa (@MissMikkaa) January 5, 2023

It took her three days and 199 tries, but she prevailed in the end. She plans on taking down Radagon/Elden Beast next, and who knows what other challenges she will come up with in the future.

We spoke to MissMikkaa in November 2022 and she walked us through how she beat Elden Ring entirely with a dance pad, and this was even after she beat Malenia at level 1 with the same dance pad.

Malenia has been one of the toughest challenges in recent memory in the world of video games, and the difficulty of her battle inspired the rise of, alongside MissMikkaa and others, one of Elden Ring’s most legendary players, Let Me Solo Her. This player would appear in players’ games to take down Malenia single-handedly, and we also talked to them about how they became a hero to all.
