Dear Tarnished, it’s time to travel back to the Lands Between — but you don’t have to pay full price.
Elden Ring’s long-awaited Shadow of the Erdtree DLC officially launches tomorrow, June 21st, and both returning and new players can save on either the expansion or a cost-effective bundle with the base game. Fanatical is selling the PC (Steam) version of Shadow of the Erdtree for $35.19 (about $5 off) as well as a digital bundle with the base game for $70.39 (about $9 off / $30 cheaper than buying them separately at full price). Purchasing either option through Fanatical nets you an emailed code to redeem on Steam.
These prices are slightly better than similar discounts out there from fellow third-party retailers like CDKeys and Eneba, making it the cheapest way to currently jump into FromSoftware’s dark fantasy RPG (at least on PC). However, the sale on the DLC itself is set to expire today, June 20th, at 6PM ET / 3PM PT, which is actually when Shadow of the Erdtree unlocks for PC players. (Yes, you get it a little early, you lucky ducks.)
A few extra deals that won’t give you frequent “game over” screens
Max is offering a one-week free trial for new customers until June 23rd. It’s not a whole lot of time, but you’ll be able to get through the first few episodes of the new House of the Dragon season and test out which plan works for you (ad-supported, 1080p ad-free, and 4K ad-free plans are all included).
Lego is selling its Atari 2600 set for $191.99 ($48 off). The 2,532-piece building kit exquisitely captures the retro vibes of the wood-clad console, complete with game cartridges and a hidden ’80s-style room that pops up from the inside.
The Nothing Ear (a) noise-canceling earbuds are $99 ($10 off) in their slick yellow color at Amazon. The latest Nothing wireless earbuds may be a bit budget-conscious, but they offer some very good sound quality for the money. And just look at that striking yellow and see-through design. Read our hands-on.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II are selling for $179 ($100 off) at Best Buy and Amazon. These may have been officially replaced (and ever so slightly outclassed) by the newer QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, but the last-gen model is quite similar and still offers some of the best noise-canceling performance you can find in a set of earbuds today.
