Valve drop surprise Steam Black Friday Sale on AAA games and Steam Deck

Don't miss this!

Steam is running its first-ever Black Friday Sale, and trust us—you don’t want to miss the deals on a bunch of AAA titles and top indies. And it’s not just games: the Steam Deck is getting a serious price cut too, perfectly timed for some holiday gaming on the go.

The sale, which began on Nov. 25, will run through Dec. 1, so you’ve got only a week to buy out your wishlist. Of course, the sheer number of discounts and offers may confuse you, so we’re here to help you get started with some spicy recommendations!

First up, if you’re a multiplayer fan like me, there are a ton of options to choose from. For example, the recent FPS hit Battlefield 6 is available at a 15 percent discount on its $70 price tag. Those looking to try an old FPS favorite can go for Risk of Rain 2, which is currently one of the most popular offers in the Steam Black Friday Sale.

If you’re a sports fan, both EA FC 26 and F1 25 have had their tags slashed by 50 percent. More of an explorative racer? Go for Forza Horizon 5 at 50 percent off instead.

If you’re more of a fictional action fan, Rockstar Games’ biggest hits—Grand Theft Auto 5 (50 percent) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (75 percent)—are also on sale. Co-op enthusiasts can grab a tantalizing 20 percent off on Split Fiction, one of 2025’s biggest hits, and also on iconics like It Takes Two, Overcooked 2, and Grounded.

Single-player fans too have a huge catalogue of discounted hits to choose from: Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR’S CUT, Detroit: Become Human, Hogwarts Legacy, Spider-Man 2, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Stellar Blade, and so many more.

You can simply fire up the sale page on a browser or the Steam app and use the filter feature to find your next favorite game on offer. Or you can check out our table below for the biggest hits available this Black Friday and their corresponding offers.
