Battleborn goes half-off at third-party retailers as Overwatch releases

How does 55 percent off sound?

Battleborn‘s price is crashing. With the release of Overwatch this week, 2K has decided to discount Battleborn by $20 for a limited time. The game’s price was dropped to $39.99, and the savings get even better when you go third-party retailer.

Now Green Man Gaming has Steam key copies on its site for $35.99 — $4 cheaper than Battleborn‘s new discount. Even better, GMG is stacking a 25 percent off coupon on top, further reducing the price to $26.99, or 55 percent off. That’s cheaper than we ever thought the game would get during the summer sales this year. The deal also works on the Deluxe edition.

PC/Steam:

Update: The deals at GMG are now expired but you can get a close discount at Steam Store for a bit more.

Use code: DEALZON25

• Battleborn (Steam) — $26.99  (list price $60)
• Battleborn – Digital Deluxe (Steam) — $33.74  (list price $75)

Console:

• Battleborn (PS4 Download) — $39.99  (list price $60)
• Battleborn (Xbox One Download) — $39.99  (list price $60)

The 25 percent off code at GMG is valid through Friday, May 27. The coupon could get extended at GMG, but the instant savings has a limited run that won’t go much longer given that it’s part of 2K’s aforementioned “Save the Last Star” sale, which runs through May 28.

At Amazon, both the PS4 and Xbox One digital copies are also $20 off. Earlier this week there was also a big sale price on the Deluxe edition, but that has since expired. It’ll be interesting to see if the aggressive price-cut strategy will work out for 2K and Gearbox, given how Overwatch is being received positively across the board.
