Online retailer Fanatical has joined in with the summer sales and has proceeded to completely obliterate the efforts of other competing platforms. With the likes of Steam, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and more all offering prices far lower than normal, Fanatical have had to up their game a little to keep up. Whereas the aforementioned stores have a variety of games to choose from, Fanatical haven’t stopped at heavy discounts for indie games, with some of the biggest AAA recent releases also benefiting from a price drop.

Fanatical Prices Continue to Drop
For those unaware, Fanatical is a United Kingdom-based online video game retailer. It currently has a catalogue of over 8,000 games from more than 1,000 game publishers and developers. If you’ve ever heard of or used cdkeys, G2A and others like these, then you’ll have a fair idea of exactly what Fanatical is.
As part of their ‘Red Hot Sale’, the site currently boasts over 7,600 games on sale, and that seems to be going up by the second. For such a high number you’d fully expect the sale to be dominated by indie and little known games, but you’d be wrong. Very wrong.

The site doesn’t hesitate to throw more deals at you than ever before, and in a time where everyone is trying to save money, now might be the time to pick up a game you’ve been holding off on due to money issues.

That’s over 150 hours of content between the three games!
