1. The Witcher 3, Batman: Arkham Knight, Mad Max $25
Xbox One gamers have seen a number of great games in 2015, and Black Friday at Wal-mart will be the best time to buy some of 2015’s best games. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (a serious contender for the coveted Game of the Year), Batman: Arkham Knight (Batman’s best game yet, as long as you aren’t a PC gamer), and Mad Max are all going to be on sale for $25 each. There are plenty of other games that will fall into the $25 category, such as The Elder Scrolls Online, Splatoon (Wii U), Mortal Kombat X (a sleeper hit of 2015), and Grand Theft Auto V. Games are only available while supplies last, so you might have to actually head to Wal-Mart on Thanksgiving if you want to get these great games, unfortunately. You can also pick up Need for Speed right now for $39.99 on Amazon.
