Deal hunters may recall the glorious long-gone days of getting 20% off video game preorders with Amazon Prime and Best Buy's Gamers Club Unlocked programs. Those days might be in the rearview, but Best Buy has some new offers you might be interested in. For select upcoming games, like Madden NFL 23, Gotham Knights, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, and more, you can get a keychain or up to $15 in free Best Buy e-gift cards just for placing a preorder. Below, we’ve gathered all the games you can preorder to receive a freebie.
Madden NFL 23 + Free $15 e-Gift Card
To get the most gift card cash available, preorder NFL Madden 23. When it ships, you’ll get a $15 digital gift card you can spend on anything at Best Buy. Time’s running out on this one, though, because preseason has begun and the game is out on August 19.
Gotham Knights + Free $10 e-Gift Card
It’s been a while since we got to kick in the teeth of the thugs of Gotham. That’s about to change with the release of Gotham Knights, a game that lets you play as a roster of non-Batman characters like Batgirl and Robin. It’s out October 25, so preorder for a $10 gift card.
Saints Row + Free Keychain
Okay, this one isn’t a gift card, but I had to throw it on the list anyway. If you preorder Saints Row at Best Buy, you get a free keychain. This deal is exclusive to Best Buy. The game is out August 23.
Splatoon 3 + Free Keychain
Another non-gift-card deal, but if you preorder Splatoon 3 from Best Buy, they’ll throw in a squid kid keychain for no extra charge. They claim it’s worth $10, and who am I to argue?
Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope + Free $10 e-Gift Card
The original Mario + Rabbids was a killer early Switch exclusive. It takes the joy of the Mushroom Kingdom, mixes in the oddball flavor of Rabbids, and creates one of the best strategy games of the generation. Preorder this sequel, which launches October 10, and you’ll get a $10 digital gift card.
Skull and Bones + Free $10 e-Gift Card
Ubisoft’s long-awaited pirate simulator game is nearly here. You’ll get to sail the seas and take what you please in this game, set to launch November 8 on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Preorder now to get a $10 digital gift card.
Hogwarts Legacy + Free $10 e-Gift Card
You don’t play as Harry and company in this game, set 100 years before the lightning-scarred hero sets foot in the school for witchcraft and wizardry. But you do get to roam the halls and surrounding environs of the magical institution (including Hogsmeade and the Forbidden Forest) as you try to stop an ancient threat.
FIFA 23 + Free $10 e-Gift Card
Soccer fans can take advantage of this free $10 gift card deal by locking in a preorder for FIFA 23 on any platform, including Switch. This one’s out September 30.
Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed + Free $10 e-Gift Card
Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed is coming August 30 to PS5 and Xbox Series X. Preorder the standard edition of the game before release, and you’ll get a free $10 Best Buy gift card to go along with it.
