IGN’s November 1 roundup highlights discounts on Gears of War: E-Day, Pikmin 4, Star Wars Zero Company, RPGs, and selected tech.
IGN’s November 1, 2026 deals roundup highlights discounts across games, hardware, collectibles, and home entertainment. The selection includes physical copies of Gears of War: E-Day, Dune: Awakening, Star Wars Zero Company, and other games, alongside prices for the Apple Watch Ultra 4 and several role-playing games.
Several offers are tied to specific platforms or editions, so the value depends on what players already own. IGN lists a Walmart digital bundle for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, a Switch 2 price for Persona 3 Reload, and a discounted Pikmin 4 copy that can use a separate Switch 2 upgrade pack. The publisher also identifies a release-date cutoff for one Nintendo listing, although its source text does not provide that release date.
IGN reports that Amazon is discounting a physical Xbox copy of Gears of War: E-Day. The article describes the saving as a reduction of a few dollars rather than giving a specific price. IGN’s review rated the game 9/10 and praised its story campaign and multiplayer, with particular attention to its Horde Siege player-versus-environment mode. That score and assessment belong to IGN’s review, not to an OnlineGamesVIP hands-on evaluation.
The Apple Watch Ultra 4 is listed by IGN at $799.99 on Amazon, which the publisher says is $100 below the stated manufacturer’s suggested retail price. The listed configuration includes a Black Titanium Case and a Black Titanium Milanese Loop. Readers considering this offer should confirm the exact model and included band at checkout, because the source identifies the package but does not provide additional technical specifications.
IGN also reports a $59.99 Amazon price for the physical version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2. According to the publisher, the offer is set to end on the game’s release date, making the weekend described in the article the final opportunity to claim that particular price. The source does not state the release date itself, so that timing remains unconfirmed beyond IGN’s warning.
At Walmart, IGN lists the digital Nintendo Switch version of Pikmin 4 at $39.88. The publisher connects that purchase with the upcoming release of Pikmin 4: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy. IGN says buyers of the current copy can obtain the Switch 2 upgrade pack for $9.99, which would bring the combined cost to $49.87 before any changes at the retailer. The source contrasts that total with a $70 price for a copy of the newer edition, but does not explain whether the comparison applies to every format or storefront.
Amazon is also carrying physical PS5 copies of Dune: Awakening for $39.99, according to IGN. The publisher’s review gave the survival MMO an 8/10, describing its version of Arrakis as effective while noting that the survival progression and worldbuilding are central to the experience. IGN presents the discount as a way to enter the game before Dune: Part Three, but the source does not provide a specific release date for that film.
RPG discounts focus on bundled content and newer editions
One of the more substantial bundle offers in the roundup is Walmart’s $39.94 digital package for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and its Expansion Pass. IGN notes that the pass includes Torna: The Golden Country. Players with a Switch 2 can then upgrade the copy for $10, with IGN identifying 4K and 60 frames-per-second support as benefits of that edition. Those details make the offer more relevant to Switch 2 owners than to players who only want the base game on the original hardware.
IGN lists Persona 3 Reload for Switch 2 at $24.99 on Amazon. The publisher characterizes the RPG as a large time commitment, saying it can occupy players for 100 hours. IGN also reports that the Switch 2 version previously had frame-pacing problems, which have since been resolved, and that Atlus added 60 frames-per-second support in docked mode. Those technical details are publisher-reported context rather than independent testing by OnlineGamesVIP.
A PS5 copy of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is listed at $19.99. IGN’s writer highlights the remake’s HD-2D presentation, quality-of-life additions, and orchestrated soundtrack, while presenting it as a particularly accessible version of the classic adventure. The source does not identify a price history or an expiration time for this offer, so shoppers should treat the listed amount as the reported price for the roundup rather than a guaranteed long-term reduction.
IGN also points readers toward Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. The article describes it as the starting point for the Trails series and notes that its remake brought new life to the original game. It also says that 2nd Chapter is now available. However, the source text does not include a retailer, platform, or price for Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, so it should be viewed as a recommendation in the roundup, not a confirmed discount with documented terms.
IGN reports that Amazon is offering a $12 reduction on a physical copy of Star Wars Zero Company. The publisher’s review awarded the tactical game a 9/10 and praised its cinematic presentation, character work, and focus on non-Force users and a non-traditional villain. That is IGN’s review position, not an OnlineGamesVIP verdict. The source does not state the final sale price, the original price, or the platforms covered by the physical offer.
Amazon’s Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail: The Art of Succession: Relics of Heritage art book is listed at $19.18. IGN says the book contains more than 300 pages of art and includes a code for a Wind-up Erenville minion. The publisher does not specify whether the code has a redemption deadline or identify the platforms on which that in-game item can be used, so those details remain worth checking before purchase.
The roundup also lists a 4K remaster of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. IGN says the release includes bonus features, revised cuts, and more than 25 minutes of added content throughout the movie. The article places the film in the wider Final Fantasy VII Remake project, but it does not provide a price for this item in the supplied text.
Amazon has Mouse: P.I. For Hire copies at $24.99, according to IGN. The publisher’s review praised the game’s 1930s cartoon and detective-fiction influences and described it as a boomer shooter that generally feels good to play. Again, that is a summary of IGN’s review, not firsthand coverage from OnlineGamesVIP. The source does not identify the format included at the listed price.
The strongest value in this group depends on ownership rather than on the headline price alone. A player with a Switch 2 may view the Pikmin 4 deal differently from someone who only has an original Switch, because IGN’s reported $9.99 upgrade path changes the effective cost of accessing the newer edition. The same principle applies to Xenoblade Chronicles 2, where the $10 Switch 2 upgrade is separate from the $39.94 bundle.
Analysis of the reported offers also suggests that physical and digital buyers face different trade-offs. Physical deals such as Gears of War: E-Day, Dune: Awakening, and Star Wars Zero Company may appeal to collectors or players who prefer a boxed copy, but the source does not establish how long those prices will last. Digital listings can be easier to access immediately, yet the buyer should confirm the account, region, and platform attached to the purchase before paying.
The review scores included in IGN’s article provide context, not guarantees. A 9/10 for Gears of War: E-Day or Star Wars Zero Company indicates how IGN evaluated those games, while the $8/10 assessment for Dune: Awakening explains why that deal appears in the roundup. Players should still match those reviews to their own preferences, especially when choosing between a story-driven campaign, a tactical game, a survival MMO, or a long-form RPG.
There is also a practical distinction between confirmed pricing and editorial recommendation. IGN supplies specific prices for most of the highlighted items, but its mentions of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children remaster do not include prices in the supplied source text. Those entries may still be useful leads, but they cannot be treated as fully documented deals here.
What remains unknown before checkout
Availability is the largest unresolved point. IGN’s article reports prices at Amazon and Walmart on November 1, 2026, but the supplied text does not say how long each listing will remain active. It also does not include stock information, shipping costs, regional restrictions, or whether the prices apply to every seller shown on a marketplace page. Those details can materially change the final value.
Platform and edition information is also incomplete for several listings. The source identifies an Xbox copy for Gears of War: E-Day, a PS5 copy for Dune: Awakening, and Switch 2 versions for some Nintendo and Atlus releases. It does not provide complete format details for every item, including Mouse: P.I. For Hire, Star Wars Zero Company, and the Advent Children remaster. Buyers should confirm that the selected listing matches their console, region, and preferred physical or digital format.
Finally, the next evidence to watch is whether the reported discounts persist after the November 1 roundup, particularly for the Ocarina of Time listing that IGN says ends on release date and for products with upgrade paths. Until retailers show their current checkout terms, the prices in this report should be read as the figures IGN reported, not as permanent offers.
