Technology giant Microsoft has announced countdown to what the company is claiming to be its “biggest” Xbox sale ever.

For this week only, Halo 5: Guardians, Rare Replay and Rise of the Tomb Raider are all discounted.

An Xbox Store sale may not come as a surprise for some gamers given the fact that Microsoft has been busy all year, slashing the prices of its games, giving away free titles, and release Xbox console bundles. Meanwhile, Portal: Still Alive and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga are slashed down to similar levels.

Honestly, if you own an Xbox One, you should not hesitate to cash in on the sale and stock up, perhaps the year’s bestsellers, all in one go.
