Best Buy's Ultimate Upgrade Sale kicked off earlier this week, bringing big discounts to hundreds of items through Sunday, April 19. Included in the sale are tons of great gaming and PC hardware, but also a nice collection video games at slashed prices. You can also save on prebuilt gaming PCs, monitors, TVs, headsets, controllers, and even some fun collectibles and trading card game packs. Even some first party Nintendo games are on sale, which is a rare occurrence on their physical media. Whatever you're into, the sale is packed with all kinds of tech deals, so be sure to give the whole catalogue a once-over to see if anything else strikes your fancy.

Plenty of video games are part of this sale. For Switch owners, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a few bucks off and a great duology of some of the best 3D platformers around. While you can purchase either title individually on the Nintendo eShop at half the price each, many physical collectors (myself included) much prefer having a box and home for their game, and they don't become obsolete like a digital download eventually would. For something with a bit more substance and longevity, Monster Hunter Wilds is a great new entry in Capcom's long-running RPG series, and with free content updates throughout its lifespan you'll get plenty of bang for your buck.
If you're like me and enjoy PC gaming but the thought of meticulously building your own rig part by part is a bit intimidating, the Ultimate Upgrade sale offers plenty of nice prebuilt battlestations to get you started. The HP Omen 35L prebuilt gaming PC is a powerful build that will be able to run games at pretty high visual quality, and taking $210 off the sticker price is not a bad deal, especially if you prefer to play your games this way.
Regardless of your desk setup, we could all go for an upgrade. Whether it's used for PC gaming, or your console is hooked up, or you enjoy the art of creating videos, having a good monitor can make a huge difference in your overall experience. The monitors listed below are all some of the best brands around, each with high-end specs that'll make whatever you're doing on it pop.
Whether it's when you squad up with friends online or want to immerse yourself in a single-player adventure, gaming headsets are an essential part of any gamer's arsenal. There are plenty of different high quality brands, each with their own line of different headset types and price ranges. But the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wireless headset is one of the best currently, and you can get one in black or white for a $80 discount during this sale.
Regardless of your preferred platform and genre, plenty of gaming accessories are available to enhance your experience. Whether it's a 12K DPI high-speed gaming mouse or a retro style control to use to play your mobile games, the Ultimate Upgrade sale has plenty of useful pieces of hardware to pick from.
For you gamers of the trading card variety, Best Buy also offers plenty of card games. Pokemon TCG, Star Wars Unlimited, and Disney's Lorcana all have sealed product available during the sale, and if you enjoy collecting amiibo the Street Fighter 6 Luke and Jamie figures are heavily discounted compared to their sticker price.
