Best Game Deals Under $5

Only the size of the cut against the reference price counts, taken from the cheapest current offer for each title. There is no price ceiling and no filter on the size of the production, so anything heavily discounted at that moment qualifies. Worth knowing that well over a hundred and eighty games currently sit at 99 percent off or deeper while the list shows fifty, so the exact lineup among tied entries is somewhat arbitrary. We recalculate nightly.

A discount is calculated against a reference price that the store itself sets. A title that launched high and never came down gives a big percentage the moment it drops. A game that realistically sold for a fraction of that gives the identical percentage on a far smaller saving. So for any entry that interests you, open the game page and check how the current price compares with the all time low rather than with the list price.

The price next to a title is the cheapest current offer among the 40 plus stores we track, picked from the offers available in your country. Stores block some keys by region and we account for those blocks, so you will not see a price you could not act on anyway. Entries whose current price has matched the all time low are marked separately. If you are after a specific title, set a price alert on it rather than coming back here daily: we check offers every five minutes.
