Black Friday this year is Friday 27 November, with Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November. Many stores start their deals the week before. Here's what you need to know to actually save money on games, and which games already sit far below their normal price. We'll update the list in the run-up to Black Friday.

How to tell real deals from window dressing

  1. 1Check what the game cost a month ago. A discount from a price that went up in October is not a discount.
  2. 2Compare with the regular price in the Steam, Xbox or Nintendo store, not just the before price the shop shows.
  3. 3Check the platform and region before you pay. A code for the wrong platform or a country you do not live in is wasted at any price.
  4. 4Buy from a shop with a Norwegian company name and organisation number, so consumer law applies if something goes wrong.
  5. 5Add the games you want to your wishlist now, so you can quickly see what has really dropped when the deals arrive.

Biggest gap to the Steam price right now

These games cost a small part of their normal Steam price, no need to wait for Friday. Hogwarts Legacy is the big adventure in the Harry Potter universe, Sid Meier's Civilization VI is the strategy game where 'just one more turn' becomes 3 a.m., and Disco Elysium is a detective role-playing game counted among the best ever made. Total War: Warhammer III, Metro Exodus and Kingdom Come: Deliverance are all big games for small money. How much you save against Steam is shown on each product card.

Big games that are already cheap

You do not have to wait until Friday to get big games cheaply. Many of the biggest games of recent years sit well below the regular price in the platforms' own stores with us all year round. That includes the PlayStation games that have come to PC, like God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man and Horizon Forbidden West.

Recent big games that have dropped in price

If you have been holding off on some of the big games from the last year or two, this is where you save the most. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 became one of the most talked-about role-playing games of 2025, and DOOM: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are among the biggest action games from Bethesda in a long time.

Classics everyone should play

Some games never get old. Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy cost a fraction of their launch price and are just as good today.
