Xbox has just set some new digital deals live as the annual Spring Sale comes to an end, and one particular promotion is standing out to us this week.
The team has a new 'BOGOF' sale going on right now, focusing on a bunch of backwards compatible Xbox classics. The selection here is quite mixed, but we're noticing some good offers here - especially for a selection of Rockstar games across OG Xbox and Xbox 360.
The real standouts here are those OG Xbox games from Microsoft's final back compat batch. We've got Red Dead Revolver, Manhunt, Max Payne and more in this promo, alongside Xbox 360 classic Midnight Club LA - and others.
All of the examples we've just mentioned cost $14.99 / £11.99 full price, and as far as we're aware, they've never been more than 40% off digitally. So, if there's a couple in here you've been wanting to pick up, they're effectively 50% off in this sale - making these some best-ever Rockstar deals!
Anyway, we just thought we'd bring this to your attention as we've had a few of these classics on our wishlist for a while, and will probably finally jump in during this BOGOF sale. The full list is available in the "Deals" section of the Xbox Store on console - if you'd like a good browse at all of these offers before the promo finishes on April 30th.
Are there a couple of games in here you might use this promo on? Have a browse and let us know!

Hardly call it a sale when the games are full price. These are actually more expensive than getting it with a normal discount.
Another non sale!
@Kooky_Geezer The Rockstar games I've mentioned here have never been 50% off, so, these examples are actually pretty good. As long as there's a couple you want!
@Kooky_Geezer I think they tried to explain the math in the article… however you are right that you are not going to save much over the regular sales
The only backwards game from this I don't own is Red Dead, and I ain't buying it until it goes back to $9 on sale.
Why no lost odyssey or blue dragon? Speaking of, aren’t those Xbox studios games? Why aren’t they just on game pass?
I would have got manhunt.... if it was in my region.
@jesse_dylan I think both were given away in the past via games with gold as that's how I got them
@PartyMarty poo. No good for more recent subscribers tho. I’ve been a subscriber for about 18 months.
@jesse_dylan yeah not ideal but it I guess they will come on sale at some point again, Lost Odyssey was randomly given away free in December 2016 I'm not sure why but that's when I got it hehe
@PartyMarty Would definitely be nice if they would since they're leaving the store pretty soon! The recent sales on both were not as discounted as they'd been in the past either, which is a bummer. But I doubt they were thinking of it that way.
Those games are regularly 75% off. What a terrible selection and sale.
@jesse_dylan Backwards compatible games you can buy on the Series/XBO stores aren't going away with the 360 store closing.
@shoeses Oh nice. Why does everyone care so much then? Are people seriously still rocking 360s online?
@jesse_dylan There's still thousands of games not backwards compatible and digital-only. And a lot of good games too.
