Steam; EA's digital game platform, Origin; and Blizzard's Battle.net are embracing the Black Friday spirit with huge discounts on hundreds of digital games for this holiday weekend.
On Origin, players can snag more recent EA releases like Battlefield 4: Premium Edition for the discounted price of $47.99 or Sims 4 for $39.99. In total more than 250 games are on sale, with nearly 90 of those titles under $10. Games that are $10 and under include Dead Space 3 and Crysis 3. More than 70 titles can be purchased for less than $5.
EA is also discounting a variety of game bundles. Players can pick up the Mass Effect Trilogy, Sim City: Complete Edition, Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition and others at up to 60 percent off. The Origin Black Friday sale ends on Dec. 1.
If EA games don't tickle your fancy, there is always Blizzard. Though Blizzard's game lineup isn't nearly as large, ever game is a bestseller, and the discounts right now on Battle.net are steep. Players can snag World of Warcraft and every expansion (aside from the newly released Warlords of Draenor) for $5. If you are a few expansions behind and have been waiting to jump back into Azeroth, this World of Warcraft sale might be your ticket.
Diablo III and Starcraft II (as well as each game's expansion) are also 50 percent off. Starcraft II and Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm are $10 each, while Diablo III and Diablo III: Reaper of Souls are $20 a piece. Blizzard's sales end on Dec. 2.
Those are some tempting deals on some of gaming's biggest franchises, but they all fall short in comparison to Steam's Exploration Sale. More than 5,000 titles are on sale, including huge discounts on recent releases like The Evil Within for $20.39 and Lords of the Fallen for $29.99. More featured deals will go live every day of the sale, with the sale ending on Dec. 2. You might not have enough time in the day to play all the games you are about to buy, but that doesn't matter. You are going to do it anyways.
