We've already rounded up the best deals in the 2024 Steam Autumn sale, but Steam isn't the only place slicing game prices down to ridiculously low numbers right now. Many a game store is running a Black Friday sale on Steam codes, meaning you can still get a code to add a game to your Steam library while spending even less than the asking price on Steam itself. This kind of competitive deal shopping is what Black Friday's all about.
None of the competing PC game stores can hold a candle to Steam for volume or name recognition, so most of them have to find other ways to stand out. Bundles, flash sales, a focus on classic games, maybe more competitive regional pricing; whatever the technique, you can save a good bit by shopping around.
Or just by reading this article, since we've already done the shopping around for you. Here are the best Black Friday game Steam key deals we've found at legitimate stores (don't worry, there's no sketchy too-good-to-be-true aftermarket stuff here). Keep in mind a few of the deals won't actually be for games you can activate on Steam; GOG, for instance, has its own launcher, but also offers games that are completely DRM-free, so you don't even need a launcher to play them. And while the prices are listed in USD, most or all of these deals should be available in other regions, too, at comparable discounts.

Here are the Steam sale alternatives to check over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend:
This is the lowest price I've seen Metaphor: ReFantazio, and probably the cheapest it'll be until 2025. Quite possibly the best RPG of the year at 35% off just a couple months after launch.View Deal
The shockingly good Silent Hill 2 remake is already 40% off? That's so much more unease-for-your-buck. The scare values are through the roof!
Also $41.99 at GMG.View Deal
This is 9% cheaper than Dragon's Dogma 2 is going for in the Steam sale, and a whopping 1% cheaper than it is on GMG. A nice price indeed for an immense action RPG released in 2024.View Deal
The Oddworld games are a sale mainstay, but I've never seen them this cheap before. This is all of them, including the fantastic Stranger's Wrath and the most recent entry, 2022's Soulstorm, for a buck. Ludicrous!View Deal
This Deluxe Edition is the version of Street Fighter 6 to get: while a bit pricier than the base game, it includes the year one character pass with DLC fighters so you won't be missing out on the goodies already released. It's a very, very good fighting game.View Deal
This action RPG is still in early access, but we quite liked what we played of it earlier this year, thanks to its weighty combat that puts it more in soulslike than Diablo territory. Still, there's loot to be got and some survival elements that give it a bit of a different flavor to anything with similar ingredients.View Deal
At 65% off, I'd say you're paying, like, 20 cents per hour of RPG entertainment here? Assuming you only play Persona 5 Royal once, that is. This is a big, big RPG, and the finest game Atlus had made up until this year's Metaphor: ReFantazio.View Deal
This Humble collection is chock full of classics: multiple Monkey Island point-and-click adventures, both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic RPGs, and the great Empire at War RTS and Republic Commando FPS. You probably own some of these already, but at least $10 will net you the rest, and you can send the proceeds the way of your chosen charity.View Deal
There's so much life in Rockstar's open world simulation of the Old West. Truly a masterpiece, as long as you're okay with Rockstar's pretty on-rails mission design and some very detailed (meaning lengthy) animations for every button you press.View Deal
The grandfather of the modern tactical shooter, still well-worth playing today. SWAT 4 was unavailable for a number of years before eventually making its way onto GOG. View Deal
