A fan-favorite game is only $1 on the Xbox Store right now, courtesy of a new and limited-time deal. The game in question is an Xbox One game, but it is playable on both Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X via backward compatibility. Meanwhile, it typically costs $20. Consequently, this 95% discount is the largest discount the game has ever received on the Xbox Store. It is only live until October 7, though.

The $1 Xbox game in question is called Levelhead, a 2020 release from Butterscotch Shenanigans. The five-year-old platformer was notably the sophomore release from the studio, following its first game, Crashlands, back in 2016. Meanwhile, since 2020, it has shipped one more game, Crashlands 2, which hit earlier this year, back in April. And it was a great second release for the studio based on the game’s user reviews. To this end, it has an “Overwhelmingly Positive” user rating, the highest rating a game can earn on Steam. It has this rating thanks to a 96% approval rating after 806 user reviews.
About the Game
In Levelhead, you play as a GR-18 delivery robot for The Bureau of Shipping, the galaxy’s premier package delivery corporation. The platformer that puts a focus on intense power-ups has a full campaign, but it also has a level editor and a user-generated system. And this is what makes the game unique from most other platformers in the space. If you are looking for a pure platformer, Levelhead may not tickle your fancy, as there are better examples of this, but if you are looking for a platformer with a level editor, well, there aren’t many of those, and this happens to be a good example of this very specific type of game.
Other Deals on the Xbox Store
Those after other noteworthy games won’t find them for $1. This is the only one. However, there are some other dirt-cheap deals right now on the Xbox Store. For example, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is currently $2.24 thanks to an 85% discount. Meanwhile, LEGO Harry Potter Collection, Batman: Arkham Knight, Saints Row IV: Re-Elected, Indivisible, Thief, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, and Tomb Raider Underworld are all $2.99 right now.
In addition to dirt-cheap games, Xbox also currently has a free game deal available to both Xbox One and Xbox Series X users. The offer is only available for a limited time, but it does provide the chance to play a new 2025 game for free.
All of that said, and as always, feel free to leave a comment letting us know what you think, or join the conversation over on the ComicBook Forum.
