Best Gaming Deals Jan 23: Silent Hill 2 Drops to $27, Samsung Odyssey Monitors from $160

Happy Friday, gamers. We’ve finally hit the weekend, and the calendar reads January 23, 2026. If you have been holding on to your holiday cash or waiting for the mid-January drought to break, today is your lucky day. The tech and gaming retailers have seemingly coordinated a massive drop of discounts ranging from high-refresh-rate displays to some of the finest psychological horror experiences on the PS5.

At ModVC, we scour the web so you don't have to. Today's lineup is headlined by a stunning price collapse for the Silent Hill 2 remake, a surprisingly aggressive clearance on Samsung Odyssey monitors, and a "Buy One, Get TWO Free" sale on PC that sounds almost too good to be true. Let’s dive into the best gaming deals available right now.

🌫️ The Headline: Silent Hill 2 Remake Hits Sub-$30

If you haven't yet experienced the fog-drenched streets of the Silent Hill 2 remake on PlayStation 5, the barrier to entry just crumbled. Normally retailing for $49.99, the game has seen a sharp 45% price cut, bringing it down to $27.39.

This is a significant moment for physical and digital collectors alike. The remake was lauded for faithfully recreating the oppressive atmosphere of the original while modernizing the combat mechanics. At under $28, it is essentially a must-buy for anyone with a disc drive and a strong constitution for horror.

This deal comes alongside a broader push in the PlayStation ecosystem. As noted by Mashable, this is one of the lowest prices we've tracked for the title since launch. It pairs perfectly with the current PSN Holiday Sale Part 2, which is seeing huge traffic this weekend.

🖥️ Monitor Madness: Samsung Dominates the Display Deals

It is rare to see 1440p high-refresh-rate panels drop this low, but Samsung is aggressively clearing inventory today. If you are still gaming on 1080p, 2026 is the year you need to upgrade.

PCWorld highlighted the star of the show: the Samsung Odyssey G53F. This 27-inch, 1440p beast boasts a 200Hz refresh rate—specs that were considered premium enthusiast territory just a few years ago. It is currently sitting at $160 (36% off). For competitive shooters like Valorant or Counter-Strike, that 200Hz fluidity is a game-changer.

But the deals don't stop at the 27-inch mark. Mashable reports that the standard Samsung Odyssey G5 is almost half price, landing at $249.99 for both the 27-inch and 32-inch variants.

For those seeking total immersion, PC Gamer spotted an Ultrawide beauty going for $260. While 3440 x 1440 resolution can be taxing on older GPUs, modern upscaling tech (DLSS/FSR) makes driving these pixels easier than ever.

📉 Quick Look: Hardware Discounts

Here is a breakdown of the best hardware deals we've verified this morning:

⌨️ PC & Steam: Roguelikes and RPGs

Over on Steam, the indie darling For The King is currently seeing its best price ever. Notebookcheck called it "a refined blend of board and role-playing games," and at $4.00, it costs less than a latte. The game mixes roguelike mechanics with tabletop aesthetics, making it a perfect co-op game for the weekend.

Additionally, social feeds are buzzing about a "Buy One, Get TWO Free" sale impacting select Xbox and PC titles via Eneba Games. While we always recommend caution with key resellers, the volume of deals suggests a major inventory clear-out is happening. Use code LORDRESTOCK10 if you are browsing there.

9to5Google also flagged a massive Lunch Break deal: $100 off all Samsung Galaxy Ring models. While not strictly a "gaming" peripheral, the health tracking (sleep, heart rate variability) is becoming increasingly popular among pro gamers and streamers looking to optimize their performance off the server.

📱 Mobile Gaming: The App Store Refresh

It’s not just console and PC gamers eating good today. 9to5Toys has rounded up a slew of premium mobile titles on sale for both Android and iOS.

Top of the list is SpongeBob – The Cosmic Shake, a surprisingly competent platformer that ports well to mobile. Also on the list is Dinkigolf (a casual favorite) and Cyberlords – Arcology. If you have a backbone controller or a Razer Kishi, these titles offer a console-lite experience on the go.

🏆 Verdict: What Should You Buy?

If you have $30, buy Silent Hill 2 on PS5. It is a masterclass in horror that rarely drops this low this fast.

If you have $160, get the Samsung Odyssey G53F. 1440p at 200Hz is the sweet spot for modern gaming, offering high fidelity without the crushing GPU requirements of 4K.

If you have $4, grab For The King on Steam. You won't find better value per dollar in the RPG genre today.
