The Enhanced Steam browser add-on displays historic prices on Steam’s website itself, and it’ll even identify how much you’ll really save in a bundle, highlight games in your Steam wishlist, and more. Older games often sell at discounted prices year-round, but stores sometimes pull out the ol’ MSRP to make that standard price seem cheap in order to entice you into buying a game. If you see a deal and it looks good, check to make sure it is! There are a number of sites out there-Google “track historic sale prices for games”-that will let you know if it’s actually a good deal or just masquerading as one. Amazon, for example, has previously held enormous sales in January and May-not standard sale times. Unlike Steam, most other retailers are less predictable.

These sales typically aren’t as lengthy nor as extensive as the two tentpole sales, but they’re big enough to pay attention to especially if you’ve been holding off on new releases.Į-tailers GOG.com and Humble each held a spring PC game sale in 2014. But Steam usually hits most big American holidays in addition to the blockbuster Summer and Holiday Sales-Easter/Spring, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. These are less predictable, and again, I recommend checking /r/gamedeals most days. There are also a myriad of smaller sales dotted throughout the year. You can also filter /r/gamedeals by site, or have it show only deals of a specific type of game-”console,” for instance, or “worldwide” if you’re outside of the United States and are sick of clicking on region-specific deals. You can trust that every deal you see on /r/gamedeals is legitimate.

That means no shady scam sites offering to sell you games real cheap, only to take your money and run. Furthermore, every retailer listed on /r/gamedeals is a guaranteed reputable seller.

The r/gamedeals subreddit ain’t much to look at, but it’s chock full of game deals and updated constantly.īut /r/gamedeals gathers up everything, from all the major PC game stores: Steam, Humble, Amazon, GOG.com, GetGames, GamersGate, GreenManGaming, and a bunch of others. Why? Because that’s right after Steam’s new deals go up every day, and typically around the time Humble Bundles-which offer multiple games at a pay-what-you-want price-start also. I check /r/gamedeals every single morning around 10:30 PST. Communities are split up by topic, and there happens to be one dedicated exclusively to game deals. I’m sure you know what Reddit is (after all, it’s “the front page of the Internet”) but if not, it’s a crowd-sourced news aggregator. Case in point: I get all my hot tips on game sales from the Game Deals subreddit.
