Quick deal snapshot
Best Buy’s Deal of the Day just chopped the price of Ninja Gaiden 4: Deluxe Edition on Xbox down to $42.99 for a single day. The Deluxe normally rings in at $89.99, so you’re looking at roughly a $47 discount if you snag it before the sale vanishes.
This isn’t just the base game — the Deluxe bundle adds future content and extras. What you get for that price: the main game, the upcoming The Two Masters DLC (expected in early 2026), a handful of exclusive character skins for Ryu and Yakumo, the Blade of the Archfiend weapon skin, 50,000 bonus NinjaCoin, and other in-game goodies. Not bad for forty-ish bucks.
Why this matters (and the fine print)
If you stream everything on Game Pass, you’ve probably already played this — Ninja Gaiden 4 is on Game Pass — but owning the Deluxe edition means the DLC and bonus items are yours even if you drop the subscription. For context: Game Pass Ultimate is $29.99/month, and the sale price is only about $13 more, so buying the Deluxe can make sense if you want permanent access and extra content.
The Two Masters DLC is the headline here and is still expected to arrive in early 2026; that timing should be treated as the current plan, not a guaranteed publication date. If the DLC lands as promised, this sale is an easy way to lock it in without a second thought.
Critics have been mixed on the game’s story and level design, but most agree on the one thing that matters to Ninja Gaiden fans: the combat. Reviewers praised the game’s brutal, flexible melee systems and aggressive enemy AI — it’s the kind of playground that lets you get creative with weapons and combos. That praise helped the game earn a runner-up nod for Best Action Game of 2025.
Heads up: this price is a one-day deal and expires at 11:59 PM ET on February 12, 2026. If you like owning discs or just want the Deluxe extras without relying on a subscription, now’s the time to act. If you’re happy renting through Game Pass, you can keep doing that — no judgment, but the bargain is tempting.
Also: the IGN Deals crew has years of experience sniffing out sales, so if you follow deal coverage, this is the sort of one-off cut they specialize in highlighting.
