Japan's Golden Week kicked off yesterday, and to celebrate the festivities, the Xbox Store is hosting a sale featuring more than 100 games, most of which were developed at Japanese studios. Xbox's Golden Week sale includes big discounts on The Yakuza Remastered Collection, Nier Automata, Mega Man 30th Anniversary Bundle, and plenty more Xbox One and Xbox Series X games until May 5.

A ton of Final Fantasy games are 50% off during the Golden Week sale. Final Fantasy 15's Royal Edition is down to $17.49.
