How to tell a real Black Friday price
Check the all-time low, not the discount badge
A "-75%" badge is measured against the list price, which tells you nothing about whether this is a good price. Every game page here shows the lowest price we have ever recorded for it, which is the number that actually answers the question.
The official store is not always the sale price
Key resellers routinely sit below the Steam sale price on the same game, and Black Friday is when that gap is widest. It is also when it is worth reading who the seller is — a marketplace listing is sold by a stranger, not the publisher.
Most games go lower later
Black Friday is a big sale, not the biggest for every title. Steam runs a Winter Sale weeks afterwards, and an individual publisher sale can beat both. If a game is not at its all-time low, waiting usually costs nothing.
Watch the region on the key
Steeply discounted keys are sometimes locked to a region your account is not in, which makes them unusable rather than cheap. The store guides below say which stores this comes up with.
Questions people ask
When is Black Friday 2026?
Friday 27 November 2026. Cyber Monday follows on Monday 30 November. Most game stores start discounting a few days before the Friday itself and run through the weekend.
When is the Steam Autumn Sale 2026?
1 to 8 October 2026, according to the sale calendar Valve publishes for developers. The Autumn Sale used to run over the Black Friday week; since 2025 it has run at the start of October instead, so Black Friday itself now falls between the Autumn Sale and the Winter Sale (17 December 2026 to 4 January 2027).
Are Black Friday game deals actually cheaper?
Often, but not always the cheapest of the year. The way to tell is the all-time low: every game page here records the lowest price we have seen across every store we track, so you can see whether a Black Friday price is a record or a repeat.
Should I buy now or wait for Black Friday?
If the game is already at or near its all-time low, buying now costs you nothing. If it is not, waiting is usually free — Black Friday and the Winter Sale that follows it are the two deepest sales of the year.
Before you buy from a keyshop
Black Friday is when the price gap between the official stores and the key resellers is widest, and also when it matters most to know who you are buying from. Each of these is what that store actually is, and what to check.
