The holiday season has once again introduced a number of great discounts and bundles for gamers to save on some of the best titles across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and PC, including one of the best GameStop offers that allow players to buy 2 pre-owned games and get 1 additional used title for free. GameStop has offered this deal several times in the past, and savvy shoppers looking for additional gifts or just want to treat themselves to a few extra gifts can now get some of the biggest gaming titles plus a free bonus.
While various gaming platforms like PlayStation Network, Xbox Game Pass, Nintendo eShop, and Epic Games Store, among many others, often offer their own dedicated seasonal discounts on video games, GameStop is adding its beloved buy-2-get-1 promotion to the festivities. Fans can build their catalog of physical games while saving a few extra bucks every now and then, so it's worth it for fans to pick up some additional titles.

GameStop Buy 2 Get 1 Free Holiday 2025 Deal
GameStop's buy-2-get-1-free-pre-owned offers hundreds of games for gamers to choose from, from newer releases in 2025 such as Donkey Kong Banana for Nintendo Switch 2 and Ghost of Yotei for PlayStation 5 until the launch of the latest generation, such as Cuphead for Xbox One and even retro throwbacks with the original Wii Sports to be had. GameStop Pro members can earn additional savings when shopping in-store or online and using in-store pickup. Games eligible for this deal include PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo consoles, including the latest hardware and even older systems such as the previously known Nintendo Wii and the iconic PlayStation 2. A large number of genres are also represented, from FPS hits like Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on offers suitable for families incl Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Minecraft.
Some of the more surprising games included in GameStop's buy-2-get-1-free offer are much older versions. Full Auto 2 battle lines for PSP, All Star Baseball 2002 for GameCube, A real pool for PlayStation 2 and MotionSports: Adrenaline for Xbox 360 are available for those looking to add more unexpected items to their video game collections. Of course, there are more prolific games on offer, with legendary releases like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the original Switch, Call of Duty Ghosts, Red Dead Redemption 2and The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Special edition for PS4, along with Fallout 4 and Grand Theft Auto 5 for Xbox One. Whether you want to grab an old favorite or something newer, the 2-get-1 free discount on pre-owned titles is a great opportunity for anyone looking to expand their gaming library.
A few things worth considering before buying include whether an online subscription to Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus would be worthwhile, as those platforms also include hundreds of older and newer titles and are generally cheaper than buying individual games, and whether it would simply be better to just buy one game and not worry about getting another just to run a third free title. Some may only be looking for one specific game and it may be more cost effective to focus on that game rather than adding additional costs to qualify for the deal. That means that GameStop the offer not only allows players to add actual physical games to their collections, something the online subscription service doesn't, but also makes it easier to pick up more potential gifts while the deal is still valid.
