It’s somewhat surprisingTales of Ariseis on sale, at least for as steep as it is. The game was just released in September, meaning it’s not too old, and it takes full advantage of the PS5 and Xbox Series X hardware—if being cross-gen. As such, those who want to try the game out but didn’t want to spend full retail value have no reason not to dive in now. It’s not likely to get any cheaper any time soon.
Off its base price point of $60, several retailers have it priced at $20-30 off. WithBlack Fridayfast approaching, fans should jump on these deals as quickly as they can. Some are clear on when they end, but others may be while supplies last. Luckily, if one store doesn’t work out, these deals are available at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy.
