First-time QVC customers can save $30 on Star Wars Outlaws, Zelda, and more

2 months ago

Before every influencer began pedaling goods on TikTok, there was QVC. The well-known shopping network isn’t one we often cover at The Verge, at least in terms of deals, but every so often, it rolls out a promo that’s hard to pass up. Right now, for instance, QVC is offering new customers $30 off an order of $60 or more when they use promo code WELCOME30, letting first-time buyers save on a range of classic video games, new releases, and preorders.

The current QVC promo applies to a laundry list of first- and third-party titles — assuming they meet the $60 threshold — which makes it a great opportunity to save on forthcoming releases that haven’t been discounted yet. This includes Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft’s upcoming open-world Star Wars game, which will be hitting the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X / S, and PC on August 30th. For a limited time, the PlayStation and Xbox editions are down to just $39.99 ($30 off) with the aforementioned coupon code, which remains the best deal we’ve seen outside of Best Buy’s ongoing gift card promo.

As for older games, notable standouts include last year’s The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which is on sale at QVC for $39.99 ($30 off) using said coupon code, as well as Insomniac’s latest exclusive for the PS5, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (also $30 off). However, QVC’s promo code can only be used toward a single item, so make it count.

Star Wars Outlaws is an original open-world adventure set in the iconic film series’ vast universe. It stars Kay Vess, a protagonist looking to steal from criminal overlords to gain her freedom. For a limited time, new QVC customers can save $30 with offer code WELCOME30.

Tears of the Kingdom is the latest installment in the Zelda franchise. The storyline and gameplay are similar to Breath of the Wild’s, but enough has changed to make Link’s return to Hyrule plenty special.

Insomniac’s latest Spider-Man romp for the PlayStation 5 ups the ante with a vast open world to explore, wonderful web-slinging mechanics, and the ability to play as not one but two spider-men.
