Christmas is coming up, and if you're anything like us here at Pure Xbox HQ, this time of year always provides a nice opportunity to sit down and relax with some good old video games over the holiday season.

However, despite an ever-growing backlog of Xbox titles (guilty as charged), we can't help but be tempted into picking a few more games up at the end of year - especially when you can get so many digital games at reasonable prices these days.

So, we've been thinking about about some of the best games you can pick up right now on the Xbox Store for less than $30! In fact, up above we've gathered 30+ choices you might want to consider grabbing over the holidays, from Xbox classics such as Gears of War: Ultimate Edition right up to some recent crackers like Balatro and Hypercharge: Unboxed.

If you're yet to decide what games you might grab this holiday season, why not have a wee look at our full list and see if anything inspires you? Better yet - feel free to share this with anyone you know who might be considering freshening up their Xbox libraries over the holidays this year.

Anything in this list you might grab in the coming weeks? Talk to us about about your holiday gaming plans down below!
