Game Day Deals: Cheap Games Worth Buying Right Now

Every game on this list is cheap right now, and I mean the price you can actually pay today, not a screenshot from a sale that ended last spring. These are game day deals pulled straight from our price database: real stores, real current prices, no invented all-time-lows. I ranked and grouped them by the kind of player each one suits, dropped the picks that did not earn a spot, and kept the whole thing tight so you can find your next purchase and get on with your day.

Prices verified from our live price database on August 7, 2026.

A quick note on where these come from. Every listing below is a keyshop price (Kinguin, Eneba, G2A, YuPlay, Gamivo). Platforms are the ones in our data, so treat each one as a PC or digital copy on the platform shown, not a promise of a specific storefront key. Discounts are only listed where our data actually records one.

The full board

I left the Call of Duty - World Series of Warzone 2021 Bundle off the ranked picks. At a 59% Steam rating it does not hold up as a recommendation, and this list is about picks I would actually stand behind.

Top picks

Baldur's Gate 3 - EUR1.23

This is the standout of the whole board. Baldur's Gate 3 sits at a Metacritic of 96 with a 97% Steam rating across more than 851,000 reviews, and the keyshop price is EUR1.23 at Gamivo. That is one of the most acclaimed RPGs of the decade going for less than a bottle of water. If you play one thing off this list, make it this. Who it is for: anyone who wants a deep, choice-heavy party RPG and does not mind reading. Who it is not for: players who want fast, twitchy action with no menus.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - EUR3.93

At EUR3.93 on Eneba with a listed 87% cut, this is the easiest recommendation for a big single-player adventure. It carries a 93 Metacritic and spans PC, PlayStation and Xbox in our data. Dozens of hours of open-world questing for under four euros is exactly what game day deals should look like. Who it is for: players who want a rich story and side quests that respect their time.

HELLDIVERS 2 - EUR6.65

The co-op shooter that turns four friends into a very disorganized fire team. It holds an 83 Metacritic and a 75% Steam rating across more than 1.14 million reviews, so it is divisive, but the fun is real when the squad clicks. At EUR6.65 on Eneba it is a low-risk way to try it. Who it is for: groups who like friendly-fire chaos and mission variety. Worth knowing: the mixed rating reflects a rocky launch history, so go in for the co-op, not for a polished solo campaign.

Stardew Valley - EUR6.22

Still the benchmark cozy sim. An 89 Metacritic, a 19% cut at G2A, and EUR6.22 for a farming game that has quietly eaten thousands of people's evenings. Who it is for: anyone who wants a low-stress loop of planting, fishing and small-town life. It also plays great in short sessions.

Sorted by what you actually want tonight

Cheap big adventures

If you want a single purchase that lasts weeks, this is the strongest value tier. Baldur's Gate 3 at EUR1.23 and The Witcher 3 at EUR3.93 lead easily. Red Dead Redemption 2 (EUR11.42, Metacritic 93, 92% Steam) is the pick for a slower, cinematic open world, and Cyberpunk 2077 (EUR14.48, Metacritic 86, 87% Steam) is the priciest here but the only neon-soaked city RPG on the board.

Co-op and multiplayer

For a group night, Among Us at EUR0.86 is almost too cheap to skip, and PAYDAY 2 at EUR1.93 gives you a full co-op heist loop. Left 4 Dead 2 (EUR6.33, 98% Steam across over a million reviews) remains one of the best-reviewed team shooters around, and HELLDIVERS 2 (EUR6.65) is the modern chaotic pick. Dota 2 is free-to-play with a 90 Metacritic if you want bottomless competitive depth without spending on the base game.

Survival and sandbox

Terraria (EUR1.8, 97% Steam) is the outrageous value pick, a 2D sandbox that goes far deeper than it looks. Garry's Mod (EUR3.29, Metacritic 93) is for tinkerers who want a physics playground. Rust (EUR10.78) and ARK: Survival Evolved (EUR5.99) are the heavier commitments, both rewarding if you like grind and PvP stakes.

Chill and sim

Euro Truck Simulator 2 at EUR9.33 (a 53% cut, 97% Steam) is the most relaxing thing on the list, and pairs oddly well with a podcast. Stardew Valley covers the cozy-farming itch. Both are easy to put down and pick back up.

Horror night

Phasmophobia (EUR12.79, 94% Steam) is the co-op ghost hunt to beat and the pick if you want to scare a group. Dead by Daylight is cheaper at EUR6.78 with a listed 66% cut. If you already own DbD, the Dungeons & Dragons add-on (EUR3.47) and the Halloween Chapter (EUR6, Xbox in our data) are steep discounts, but only buy those once you know you like the base game.

The one to grab

If you make a single purchase off this page, it is not close. Baldur's Gate 3 at EUR1.23 is a 96-rated RPG for pocket change, and nothing else here matches that ratio of quality to price. The Witcher 3 and Terraria are the runners-up if you want more variety in the cart.

That is the board. Prices this low do not need a hard sell, so pick the genre that fits your night and go. If you came for the headline number, Baldur's Gate 3 is the whole article in one line.
