2019 Black Friday Steam Sale Is Live, See The Best Deals
The weekend has finally arrived. Black Friday weekend has begun, and for many PC gamers, that means only one thing: another round of ridiculous game sales on Steam. Valve’s storefront is once again loaded with huge discounts on some of the biggest (and smallest) games of the year join a handful of PC games on sale elsewhere.
Steam’s Black Friday sale runs from November 26-December 3 and features discounts on a plethora of titles up to 90% off. Some noteworthy sales include deals on newer games like Code Vein ($42, down from $60), Gears 5 ($30, down from $60), The Surge 2 ($30, down from $50), Void Bastards ($22.49, from $25), and plenty more.
Post-apocalyptical first-person shooter Rage 2 has a pretty steep discount right now, going from $60 to $19.79, a total savings of 67 percent. Elsewhere, a bunch of indie games are up for grabs with some solid discounts. These include Dead Cells ($17.49), Forager ($16), Terraria ($5), The Escapists 2 ($6), and many more. A bulk of Rockstar Games’ library is also on sale, such as Grand Theft Auto V ($15 USD), Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ($5.24), Max Payne 3 ($7), L.A. Noire ($7) and others.
Steam also has a smorgasbord of JRPGs on sale. The list is extensive, but some noteworthy titles are Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy XI, God Eater 3, Romancing SaGa 3, Tales of Berseria, Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, and more.
It’s worth shopping around, though, as you may find better deals at places like Green Man Gaming and Fanatical. Further, some of those codes can sometimes be redeemed on Steam.
In conjunction with the Autumn sale, Steam has opened voting for its Steam Awards, which includes accolades like Game of the Year and Better With Friends. Winners will be announced on December 31.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint Patch Adds More Customization, Gender Swapping, And More
Ghost Recon Breakpoint has received another major patch, less than a month after update 1.0.3 released. If you’re logging in for the new raid, you’ll find that there’s a big new download to get through. On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One the 1.0.3.1 update weighs in at 11.3 GB, whereas PC players will have to download 8.5 GB. Once they do, they’ll find that there are now more customization options in the game than ever before–and new players will especially feel the benefits.
At the beginning of the game, post-patch, players will have 40 more items unlocked by default than they did before. This means that there will be more customization options than before, as you’ll be able to kit your Ghost out with the following items right away:
- 5 vests (5.11 TACTEC Plate Carrier, 5.11 VTAC LBE, Blackhawk STRIKE Cutaway, Crye AVS1000, Blackhawk Strike Shoulder Pad)
- 5 pants (5.11 Apex, 5.11 Tactical Stryke Pant, Jeans, Cargo, Chino)
- 5 headgear (Crye Airframe, Reversed Cap, Military Cap, Berret, ACH Helmet)
- 2 gloves (S&S WetWorX, S&S WetWorX Assault)
- 4 boots (Under Armour Alegent, Under Armour Valsetz RTS, Under Armour Speed Freek, Under Armour Shoes Infiltrator)
- 4 gear paints (Gray Solid, Red Solid, Blue Solid, Coyote Brown Solid)
- 1 shirt (Vasily Sniper)
- 1 eyewear (Gatorz Magnum Sunglasses)
- 1 karambit (Casper)
- 4 emotes (Shotgun, Pistol, Rifle, Sniper)
- 4 emblems (Red Fox, Lion, Grizzly Bear, Golden Eagle)
- 4 card banners (Urban Tech, Mountain, Swamp, Coastal)
Additionally, players can now change the appearance of their face, as well as their gender, at any time from the menu. This will allow for a greater level of customization, and it means that you’re not stuck if you decide, a few hours in, that you don’t like your character. This is, thankfully, a far cry from the Ubisoft that once argued that letting you play as a woman in Assassin’s Creed Unity would double the amount of work involved for the animation team.
Beyond this is a huge list of bug fixes and additions, including improved physics and handling for the Spider vehicle, a fix for an issue that was causing players to lose items when switching from PvP to PvE, and improvements to adaptive magazine pouches on tactical vests.
Ghost Recon Breakout is discounted during a few Black Friday sales. You can get the game digitally on both the Xbox Store and Ubisoft Store for 50% off, and it’s also discounted on PlayStation 4.

Even Nintendo is getting in on the Black Friday discounts.
Nintendo is having one of its surprisingly rare sales on digital games right now, with plenty of its fantastic first-party games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild available for cheaper than usual. If you prefer having all your games on your Switch at once instead of swapping carts in and out, Black Friday weekend 2019 is your best chance to stock up on games for the console.
That said, don’t expect especially steep discounts in Nintendo’s Black Friday Eshop sale–this is still Nintendo, after all. But after digging through everything on sale, there are a few discounts that are worth calling out. In the following gallery, GameSpot’s editors and producers highlight some of their favorite games that are being discounted on the Nintendo Eshop for Black Friday. Nintendo’s sale includes both Switch games, which we’ve focused on, but also 3DS games, with the likes of Persona Q2 on sale for $20.
The aforementioned Breath of the Wild is the best deal of the lot (discounted from $60 to $42). On Switch, Nintendo has several notable single-player sequels to its main exclusive franchises–Super Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Pokemon Sword / Shield just to name a few–but, unfortunately, Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are the only two on sale this Black Friday. You’ll have more options if you’re open to buying physical games, as detailed in our roundup of the best Switch game deals.
There are several excellent third-party and indie games on sale that you should consider picking up if you haven’t already. Celeste is a big one, one of the best indie games to come out in 2018, which has been discounted from $20 to $10. Dead Cells has a decent deal too, which is being sold for $17.49–a nice cut from its usual $25 price tag.
Read on for a look at all of our picks from the sale, which runs from now until December 4.
