Ninja Gaiden 4
The definitive ninja action-adventure franchise returns with Ninja Gaiden 4! Embark on a cutting-edge adventure where legacy meets innovation in a high-octane…
This one grabbed my attention because it’s rare to see a big-budget, modern action game hit its lowest physical price so soon after launch-Ninja Gaiden 4’s blend of Team Ninja precision and Platinum-esque flair makes the physical discount more than a bargain; it’s a collector’s moment. Best Buy is currently listing standard PS5 and Xbox Series X|S physical copies for $39.99 (down from $70), with Deluxe editions and spin-off bundles also discounted at Amazon and other retailers.

At $39.99 for a sealed physical copy you get permanence: a display-ready box, the ability to resell, and the tactile satisfaction that many in the community prize. More importantly, the discount arrived despite the title still being actively patched and supported-Team Ninja locked in performance improvements like 60FPS targeting and later added higher-frame options. Those who prefer immediate, offline ownership (and collectors who want Deluxe packaging or exclusive skins) have a clear reason to buy now rather than rely on a subscription.
Game Pass users can play the base game digitally, but physical discs matter for three reasons: collector packaging, transfer/resale value, and avoiding subscription reliance. PS5 discs also benefit from DualSense haptic/trigger optimizations in physical builds for some players; Xbox retains Quick Resume and easy Deluxe upgrades for Pass owners. PC players looking at Steam will find digital options but no disc-based benefits.

If you collect physical editions, want guaranteed offline ownership, or plan to play through multiple difficulties and DLC, $39.99 is an easy yes. For casual players who’ll sample NG4 via Game Pass and never revisit, the subscription route is cheaper short-term. But the Deluxe discount nudges completionists: future co-op DLC and cosmetic packs give enough extra content to justify the bump if you know you’ll play into 2026.

Best Buy’s $39.99 physical copies of Ninja Gaiden 4 are a rare, enthusiast-friendly price for a modern action game. Buy physical if you value collector packaging, resale security, or plan to play long-term—grab the standard $40 copy now; the Deluxe is worth it only if you want immediate access to exclusive DLC and skins.
