Fanatical is best known for its regular Steam game bundles, but right now, they're running a store-wide Birthday Bash sale, giving you the chance to save big on a wide range of games. The sale is especially great for Steam Deck users searching for new games for cheap, as there are plenty of Verified titles available for under $5.

Games in this price bracket aren't going to be new releases, but you can still grab some AAA titles like DOOM and The Evil Within for under $5. In addition, there are plenty of indie games packed with content to keep you entertained. With that said, here are the best Steam Deck Verified games available for under $5 in Fanatical’s Birthday Bash sale. To help you see how much you’re saving on each game, we’ve included the original price just before the discounted one.

Our selection of the best Steam Deck games under $5

As shown in the table above, all the games we've listed are Steam Deck Verified. For those new to the Steam Deck, Valve uses a verification system that helps players understand how well a game runs on the handheld before purchasing it. If a game is verified, it runs smoothly on the device without any issues. You can also consider ‘Playable’ titles from the sale, as they should run well on the handheld, albeit lacking some optimizations.

In any case, if you want to save even more, we recommend checking out Fanatical’s November Game ‘Stache bundle, which can help you grab $352 worth of Steam Deck games for only $20. Humble’s Halloween sale is also ending soon if you want to check out a good selection of spooky season games, instead.
