Welcome to Fanatical's May Madness: A Gamer's Paradise
As the calendar inches toward the end of May, Fanatical is rolling out its annual celebration of digital gaming deals. The May Madness sale, running until May 31, offers an enormous selection of discounted PC games—over 10,000 titles are on sale. Whether you're after the latest releases or eager to snag a preorder at a reduced price, this event has you covered. Below, we break down the highlights, including flash deals, bonus incentives, and standout discounts on some of the hottest games.
Top Discounts on Brand-New and Preorder Games
One of the most attractive aspects of the May Madness sale is the markdown on brand-new releases and even upcoming preorders. Here are a few notable examples:
- Resident Evil Requiem — down to $57.39 from $70
- Crimson Desert — now $59.49, reduced from $70
- 007 First Light (preorder) — $60.89 instead of $70
- The Blood of Dawnwalker (preorder) — priced at $59.49, originally $70
These savings make it possible to play the newest PC titles without breaking the bank. All purchases provide digital download codes that are redeemable on Steam.
Daily Flash Deals: Limited-Time Bonuses
In addition to the everyday discounts, Fanatical is running limited-time Flash Deals each day of the sale. These flash offers provide even deeper discounts on a rotating selection of popular games. To maximize your savings, check back daily and grab these deals before they expire.
Spend $15 and Unlock an Extra Reward
Fanatical sweetens the deal with an additional incentive: if you spend $15 or more on a single purchase, you'll receive either an extra digital game or a coupon code. This bonus adds extra value to your shopping, especially if you're already planning to pick up a couple of discounted titles.
Standout Picks for Every Taste
If you're looking to finally pull the trigger on some more recent releases, the May Madness sale has plenty of titles that launched within the last year or two at nice new discounts. Here are a few recommendations:
For Action and Sci-Fi Fans

For Open-World RPG Enthusiasts
