Grab three Steam Deck verified games for just $4.99 in this huge Fanatical deal

Fanatical has just dropped a huge Steam Deck game bundle that gets you three verified games for just $4.99. As an added bonus, you could land one of the hidden VIP bundles, which include games such as Dune Awakening or Sonic Racing CrossWorlds.

As the best gaming handheld on our buying guide, the popularity of the Steam Deck has skyrocketed since it launched in 2023. Fanatical has been proactive in catering to Deck owners with specific deals and sales, but this is the first major mystery bundle it's offered for the handheld, and the criteria for the included games have been raised accordingly.

The way this bundle works is that you pay $4.99 / £4.99 / €5.09 to receive three random Steam Deck-verified games. Each game is guaranteed to have a Steam rating of "Very Positive" or higher from at least 1,000 reviews. Each bundle is also guaranteed to be worth a minimum of $20, according to the standard retail price of the games. If you want to grab your bundle, you can do so using this link.

The hidden VIP packs are randomly assigned and may contain one of the following games:

• Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater Digital Deluxe Edition
• Dune Awakening Ultimate Edition
• Sonic Racing CrossWorlds
• Hell is Us Deluxe Edition
• Cronos The New Dawn Deluxe Edition

We have to point out that two of these games, Metal Gear Solid and Hell is Us, are actually unsupported on the Steam Deck. The appeal of the hidden VIP games, however, is supposed to be the value that you're getting if one were to show up in a bundle, as opposed to the fact that it's Steam Deck compatible.

All in all, this is a great way to boost your Steam Deck library with some games you may never have otherwise picked up for a very low price, but there's also the chance of bagging a brand new game in the process for an even bigger saving. It should be noted that you can purchase more than one bundle - repeating games are a possibility if you take that approach, but you'll never receive a duplicate game within a single bundle.

If you're not keen on the mystery aspect of this deal, you can instead check out the latest Humble Choice games, where you can bag seven Steam Deck-compatible games for $14.99.

If you pick up one of the Steam Deck VIP bundles, be sure to let us know which games you got over in our community Discord server.
