The reduces prices for each game were likely done to make them more in-line with the prices in the US, as the original UK prices were the subject of some controversy. The newly adjusted prices come in at £44.99 for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, £34.99 for 1-2-Switch and £49.99 for Arms. Additionally, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was previously discounted in a similar manner to £49.99.
