May the 4th isn't just a meme. It's one of the cheapest days of the year to buy Star Wars games, and this week it collides with Golden Week sales across Steam, Xbox, and Nintendo. PlayStation's Big Games Big Deals sale is in its final days, and Game Pass just announced one of its strongest months of 2026.
Here's what's worth your money.

Why These Made the Cut
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor at $10.49 is near its all-time low. A critically acclaimed 30+ hour action game for the price of a sandwich. This deal runs across multiple platforms and extends through May 13, so you have time, but not much.
Alan Wake 2 won multiple Game of the Year awards, and $17.99 is one of the deepest discounts it's seen on PS5. The PS Store Big Games Big Deals sale ends May 6, so act fast.
Forza Horizon 6 hits Game Pass day one on May 19. Set in Japan with 550+ cars, it's the kind of game that would normally cost you $70. Game Pass subscribers get it at no extra cost.
Subnautica 2 launches into Early Access on May 14, also day one on Game Pass. The original was one of the best survival games ever made. This one adds 4-player co-op and has confirmed no microtransactions.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga at $12 on the eShop is a steal for Star Wars Day. Nine films' worth of content in a polished package. Great for families and solo players alike.
