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. Many community members will chip in impromptu reviews of the games on sale, while others might alert you to a better deal on the same game happening over on a different site. See a great sale on a game you’ve never heard of? Hit up the /r/gamedeals comment section for that particular sale. 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.Īnd as if that weren’t enough, the community is incredibly helpful when it comes to recommendations. 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.
