Xbox’s annual Spring Sale is currently going on and there are a number of discounted games that deserve a spot in your library.
There are over 400 games included in the Spring Sale, making it the biggest yet for Microsoft. Here are five standout deals that you should check out.
1) Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2– $40 (Regularly $80)
If you’re into online shooters then the Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 bundle is perfect for you. Also, while both games are multiplayer shooters their settings and mechanics are extremely different and give you two distinct FPS experience. Titanfall 2’s combat involves futuristic combat with towering mechs along with the series’ first story mode, while Battlefield 1 is a WWI based shooter with an episodic story mode. If you’re still on the fence then it’s important to know that both games are absolutely beautiful.
2) Borderlands 2 + Borderlands The Pre-Sequel – $24 (Regularly $60)
Borderlands 2 is one of the best video games of the past console generation so having the opportunity to play it at a discounted rate is a great value proposition. The package also included the Pre-Sequel game which takes place before Borderlands 2 but was released after. The fact is that if you have never played the Borderland’s series or even if you have on the previous console generation then this deal is a great one.
3) Batman: Arkham Knight – $12 (Regularly $20)

Star Wars Battlefront II is one of the most visually appealing games ever to be released and a must buy for any Star Wars fan.
