Multiple Xbox Store promotions have gone live today, as usual for a Tuesday, and we reckon the pick of the bunch this week is the team's 'Buy 1, Get 2 Free' indie game sale we're seeing on our consoles right now.
Don't get us wrong, not everything in this promotion is a particularly good deal, but we are seeing some solid options here - particularly if you stick to more recent indie titles around the £15 / $20 mark or so. As the name suggests, if you pick three games from this list you'll only pay for the most expensive title of the bunch - the other two will be totally free.
Options like Untitled Goose Game, Braid Anniversary Edition and Loot River seem decent to us based on past sale prices, but it's probably best to avoid titles like The Sinking City at $45. That's been as cheap as $5 in recent promotions!
As for Microsoft's other digital deals going on right now, we have a Publisher Spotlight sale and an EA Sports promo alongside Xbox's usual batch of Game Pass member deals. None of these are particularly extensive after recent end-of-year sales, but they're always worth a browse on console to see if there's anything you fancy.
Any Xbox indies you might grab in this new promotion? Tell us what you've got your eye on down in the comments!

Buying full price for even one game seems like a overspend… I’m usually a deal driven shopper now a days…
I may have gotten carried away making a Google sheets spreadsheet to calculate whether or not any combination of three games is a good deal. GBP only, I'm afraid.

@Vordus thanks 😎 downloaded it for future sales too 😂
The only standout — from these screenshots, at least — is Below, as it rarely goes on sale otherwise.
@Decimateh Alas, the data is extremely specific, so this will work for just this one sale x_x
Always check Deku Deals to see what the all time low for any given title is. 😉
How do you access this sale? I'm looking at a few of the games mentioned here on Xbox.com and it doesn't mention any deals, or what's available.
@PhileasFragg one way is to to search any of the games you already know are part of the deal. Braid Anniversary is on my wishlist, and I was able to access the deal through that.
I did not take the offer. Anything I was interested in goes on sale for same or better prices, and I bought too much over the holidays already
@RentedPanda It's not working for me. Maybe a regional thing, or only for some people?

@PhileasFragg Sorry, I accessed while in the store on console. Not sure if that makes a difference, or like you said it is not universal. I'm in US region, if it might be regional only
