Video gaming has gone from strength to strength in the past couple of decades and has now become a pastime that offers something for everyone. Whether you’re playing on a PC, console or even just on a smartphone and tablet, there are so many different genres to enjoy and try your luck at.
However, one thing that can put people off getting involved in gaming is the cost that can be associated with it. After all, it has to be said that getting access to the latest blockbuster releases or exciting new hardware does not tend to come cheaply.
Saying that, there are still plenty of great ways to enjoy good-value gaming and here are a few of our ideas on how to get more for your money.

 
1. Watch out for sales
It may seem an obvious place to start, but sales are a great opportunity to pick up some gaming bargains. Retailers tend to run promotions throughout the year but key periods like Black Friday or even Amazon’s very own Prime Day could be excellent chances to grab the best deal on a console or major title.

 
2. Try free-to-play
If you’re primarily interested in mobile gaming, you will be pleased to hear that many games tend to operate on a free-to-play basis. This means the majority of basic content can be accessed without any charge, so you can try your hand at a range of titles and find out which is most suited to you.

 
3. Grab a bonus
In recent years sites like Paddy Power have emerged to give people the chance to sample casino games or play bingo and win real money in the comfort of their own home. Best of all, new members who sign up tend to be able to access a welcome bonus, which means they generally get plenty of perks following their first deposit.

 
4. Access free games
Being able to access games for free sounds too good to be true, but it is possible through services including the Xbox Live platform featured on Microsoft’s famous range of consoles. Games with Gold offers those with an Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership the chance to access titles every month for no charge.

 
5. In-game events


An increasingly popular part of gaming, in-game events give you a chance to access special items and skins. The concept can really breathe new life into your gameplay, with the recent Batman event held on Fortnite being a great example. Players were able to access tools as well as suits including the Caped Crusader’s outfit which was featured in the much-loved The Dark Knight.

 
Get more for less
Gaming is so much fun at the moment and we hope that these ideas have highlighted how it doesn’t have to be expensive.
There are a host of special offers, deals and events to look out for which could transform your experience, so keep your eyes peeled and discover how you could go about getting more for less.
