IGN’s October 4 deal roundup includes savings on Star Wars Zero Company, Trails in the Sky, Shuten Order, MLB The Show 26 and more.
IGN’s October 4 deal roundup highlights discounts on several recent games, including Star Wars Zero Company, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, Shuten Order, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and MLB The Show 26. The list also includes hardware and merchandise, with a price cut for AirPods Pro 3 and a LEGO Star Wars AT-AT set.
The offers are presented as Sunday deals, so the prices and availability described by IGN should be treated as time-sensitive. IGN does not provide a universal end date for every listing. The roundup also mixes current games with upcoming or recently released products, giving players several different reasons to browse depending on their platform and backlog.
IGN reports that a physical copy of Star Wars Zero Company is $12 off at Amazon. The publisher describes the game as one of the year’s sleeper hits and notes that its own review awarded it a 9/10. IGN’s review assessment focused on the tactical gameplay, cinematic presentation associated with Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi games, a cast of strong characters and a story centered on non-Force users and a non-traditional villain. That is IGN’s review analysis, not an OnlineGamesVIP hands-on verdict.
For players looking for a longer RPG commitment, IGN points to Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. The publisher identifies it as the first entry in the Trails series and says last year’s remake gave the original game new life. IGN also notes that 2nd Chapter is now available, which makes the first game a relevant starting point for anyone considering the wider series. The source does not state a specific price for Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter in the supplied deal summary.
IGN also lists AirPods Pro 3 at $179 through Amazon. According to IGN, the model adds a built-in heart-rate sensor, redesigned eartips intended to improve noise cancellation and improved sound quality compared with the second-generation version. The article’s author says they have used the earbuds since launch and has been pleased with them, particularly after using the original AirPods Pro. That is the author’s stated experience and should not be read as an independent OnlineGamesVIP test.
Shuten Order appears in the roundup with separate Nintendo pricing. IGN reports that the Nintendo Switch 2 version is $49.99 at Amazon, calling it the lowest price the publisher has seen to date. The Nintendo Switch version is listed at $39.99. IGN describes the game as a collaboration involving DMM Games, Neilo and Tookyo Games, with five gameplay styles that include visual novel and stealth action elements.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is another highlighted physical release. IGN reports that the Switch 2 version is $49.99 at Woot for the weekend. The publisher says its review awarded the game an 8/10 and characterized it as an effective, though uneven, revival of the series. This is a summary of IGN’s review position rather than a new review by OnlineGamesVIP.
Several other game deals round out the list. IGN reports that the physical Switch 2 release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is available for $59.99 at Amazon. The publisher says that offer ends on the game’s release date, which it describes as approaching in October. IGN presents the remake as one of the year’s most discussed games, but the supplied source does not provide a more specific release date.
On PlayStation 5, IGN reports that Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is $29.99 at Amazon, representing a $10 saving according to the roundup. The collection contains seven games. IGN’s review gave it an 8/10 and called it the strongest way to play this version of Mega Man. Again, that verdict belongs to IGN’s review and is included here as context for the deal, not as an OnlineGamesVIP recommendation based on direct play.
IGN also lists MLB The Show 26 at $29.99 through Amazon. The publisher calls it the lowest price it has seen for the game all summer and connects the timing to October’s baseball postseason. The source does not specify a platform in this part of the roundup.
Finally, IGN reports that Kirby Air Riders is available as a physical release for $48.99 at Amazon. The publisher highlights both single-player and multiplayer content and argues that the game offers a different challenge from Mario Kart, even for players who already have a kart-racing game on Switch 2.
Analysis: The most useful part of this roundup is its range rather than any single discount. Players looking for a strategy game have Star Wars Zero Company, while RPG fans can use Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter as an entry point to a series that now has a second chapter available. Shuten Order offers a more unusual proposition by combining several formats instead of presenting itself as a conventional single-genre release.
The lineup also gives owners of newer Nintendo hardware multiple options. IGN includes Switch 2 versions of Shuten Order, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Kirby Air Riders. That concentration matters because physical software discounts can be particularly relevant to players deciding which games to add to a newer library. The source confirms the listed prices, but it does not establish whether these are permanent reductions, temporary promotions or retailer-specific offers beyond the time descriptions in each entry.
There is also a clear difference between the deal’s immediate value and its longer-term buying context. MLB The Show 26 is framed around the baseball season, while The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is tied to an approaching release date. Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is positioned as a way to begin a broader RPG series, and Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection packages seven older games into one purchase. These are different kinds of value, so the lowest listed price is not the only factor for a player choosing what to buy.
Star Wars Zero Company receives the strongest review-based endorsement in the supplied source, with IGN’s 9/10 score and its emphasis on tactical play and non-Force-user characters. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection are both supported by IGN’s 8/10 review scores. Those scores provide editorial context, but they do not confirm how either game will fit a particular player’s tastes, hardware setup or available playtime.
The non-game items broaden the roundup beyond software. IGN’s AirPods Pro 3 listing may appeal to players who want a general-purpose audio upgrade, while the LEGO Star Wars AT-AT is aimed at collectors and builders rather than people choosing a new game. IGN reports that the 525-piece set includes the AT-AT and a Rebel Alliance Snowspeeder, with a current price of $51.99 and a stated 20 percent discount.
For readers who want a Star Wars game rather than a shopping lead, the supplied catalog includes several older options. You can explore Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy through the available game catalog.
These catalog links are separate from IGN’s reported deal. The source does not state that any of the catalog titles are discounted, available on the same platforms or connected directly to Star Wars Zero Company. Their relevance is thematic: they give players immediate Star Wars-focused alternatives while the featured retail offer is being considered.
What remains unconfirmed
IGN’s roundup does not provide a complete price history for every item. The source identifies a $12 saving for Star Wars Zero Company, a $10 saving for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection and a 20 percent discount for the LEGO set, but it does not give the previous prices for all other products. As a result, the supplied record cannot establish which offer represents the largest percentage reduction.
The source also does not confirm how long most of the deals will remain active. The Ocarina of Time offer is described as ending on release date, and the Metroid Prime 4 listing is described as a weekend deal, but no equivalent cutoff is supplied for Star Wars Zero Company, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, AirPods Pro 3, Shuten Order, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, MLB The Show 26 or Kirby Air Riders.
Platform details are incomplete in places as well. IGN identifies the Switch 2 and Switch prices for Shuten Order and identifies the PS5 version of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, but the supplied text does not list platforms for every other game. It also does not specify whether the MLB The Show 26 listing includes a particular edition or which platform is being sold.
The next evidence to watch is retailer confirmation of the active prices, stock status and exact editions. That matters most for physical games, where platform versions can carry different prices and where a deal may be limited to one retailer. Players considering The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time should also watch for the confirmed release timing, since IGN ties the listed offer to that date without giving the specific day in the supplied source.
For now, IGN’s October 4 roundup offers a broad set of leads rather than a single must-buy recommendation. The strongest choice depends on whether a player wants a tactical Star Wars game, a long-form RPG, a multi-style adventure, a sports title, a collection or a new Switch 2 release. The confirmed prices provide a starting point, while the missing end dates and incomplete platform information are reasons to verify the retailer listing before purchasing.
