GameStop is having a special buy-one-get-one-free event on first-party Nintendo Switch games as part of Pro Week, under one condition.

GameStop is now holding a “buy one, get one free” deal on Nintendo Switch exclusives, but only for certain customers. Special sales and promotions are nothing new for GameStop, as the popular gaming retail chain often hosts these deals during Black Friday or other major shopping periods. The most recent GameStop sales event was held at the end of June and offered customers three used games for the price of two.

Many of the games included in these special GameStop events are first-party Nintendo Switch titles, and it can be strongly argued that the console has enjoyed a steady stream of hits over the past couple of years. Even before The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom took the gaming world by storm, solid releases like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and various Pokemon games helped propel the Switch into becoming one of the highest-selling consoles of all time. Now more players can take home some of the best Switch exclusives as part of GameStop’s latest giveaway.

GameStop Pro Week is now underway, meaning that various games, consoles, and collectibles are now being offered at reduced prices - but only for GameStop Pro members. One of the special deals is a buy-one-get-one-free promotion for Nintendo Switch exclusives like Metroid Dread, Paper Mario: The Origami King, and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. The free game will be the one with the least value, so GameStop Pro members looking to take advantage of this deal should consider picking two full-value titles to get the most for their money.

GameStop Pro Week also includes deals on non-Switch titles like 2022’s blockbuster hit Elden Ring, this year’s acclaimed Dead Space remake, and even last-gen hits like Persona 5 Royal and Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time. The savings don’t stop with games either, as various Pokemon Trading Card Game sets are being offered at reduced prices alongside controllers, consoles, and other sought-after accessories and collectibles.

It's worth repeating that not everyone will be able to enjoy this latest round of GameStop deals and savings, as only members of the GameStop Pro rewards program will be allowed to partake in Pro Week’s special offers. While GameStop has had its fair share of controversy in recent memory - such as the very public firing of CEO Matthew Furlong back in June - the chain remains a go-to spot for gamers looking to save on titles old and new, thanks in part to the many GameStop promotional deals being held on a frequent basis.
