PC game pre-orders at Instant Gaming are up to 30% cheaper than Steam, including Metro 2039 and Fable
Table of Contents
Instant Gaming is an excellent video game key store if you’re looking for deals on some of the biggest games of the year. Better yet, rather than waiting around for titles to go on sale months after launch, you can even save money when pre-ordering directly from Instant Gaming. PC gamers can get access to the Steam versions for most games, including Metro 2039 and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV.
We should note that pre-ordering Fable from Instant Gaming is only available for the Microsoft Store version, rather than the Steam version. Either way, you’re saving 30% when compared to the price tag on Steam, where the game sells for $69.99 and $99.99 for the Standard and Premium Editions, respectively. In the case of Metro 2039, you’re getting the Steam version of the game for 20% cheaper.
