Who doesn’t love great deals on PC games? Sure, there are the usual suspects, but I want to take a moment to talk about one of my favorite places to go: Green Man Gaming. You can find a wide variety of PC games for sale, including DLC, new releases, and more. But one of the reasons I like it so much is thanks to a membership loyalty program called XP. Just like in games, you can level up your XP tier, essentially by purchasing games and content. Typically, to reach the top Gold XP tier you’d have to buy a lot of goods. But thanks to a Black Friday sale, you can get access free — just use code XPDIGITAL.

You’re probably wondering why that’s a great deal or why it matters. With Gold XP you get exclusive discounts, including monthly vouchers on hot titles, but best of all, you generally get extra discounts on top of what’s available in sales. So, you end up saving even more. That’s precisely the case with Green Man Gaming’s current Black Friday sale. Although, some of these games are already at a steep discount you can save even more here. Plus, the upgrade to Gold XP is free so why not take advantage? The free Gold XP will only be available from November 22 to December 3, so don’t waste any time.

What kind of PC gaming deals are available at Green Man Gaming for Black Friday?

Let’s start with the benefit of Gold XP because you’re getting that free. Remember, usually you have to purchase games and DLC to upgrade your tiers — which is precisely what I had to do. This offer means you don’t have to spend a dime but you can still reap the rewards.

  • Extra discounts across thousands of games
  • Exclusive store credit and game key giveaways
  • Invite your friends to XP for free
  • XP bonus packs with additional discount vouchers

Those vouchers are awesome, by the way. Green Man Gaming regularly launches new offers and they’re exclusive to XP members. But they include steep discounts on some pretty hot titles and that’s outside of these Black Friday and holiday sales. That’s just a regular thing!

As for what kind of deals you can expect in this Black Friday sale, there are some good ones:

The standard edition of is just $9, while the edition that includes is only $17 — normally $60. The new is only $42, normally $70. is $34, normally $70. There are a ton of on sale, too. It’s not just older titles either. There are new releases on sale, as well. For example, is $59, instead of $70. is $51, instead of $60. Even is on sale for $62 instead of $70.

Plus, with new rotating deals, Gold XP perks, and various events you can save more and get more just for buying your favorite games — many of which you were probably going to buy anyway, let’s be honest. For instance, purchase during Black Friday and you’ll get a free bonus pack. All keys are digital, and available for their respective platforms like Steam or Ubisoft Connect. Moreover, Green Man Gaming works with publishers directly to get legitimate keys.

Be right back, I’m going to grab finally, it’s only $11 (with code STAR15) and it’s a Star Deal. If you do head over there, don’t forget the coupon code XPDIGITAL for your free Gold XP access.

This is my must-buy Nintendo Switch game for Black Friday 2024
A red Pikmin looks around in Pikmin 4.

If there's one Switch game I can't recommend enough, it's Pikmin 4. The series expertly walks the tightrope between being a cute, whimsical adventure and a strategy game that needs serious planning to complete, exciting casual Switch players looking to hang out with some oddball little plant friends while keeping the attention of serious speedrunners and strategists. Whether you're seriously invested in saving the lives of the crashed spacecraft crew (more on that later) or you want to see how many little colorful buddies you can pluck out of the ground, Pikmin 4 is quite an adventure and one of the best games on Switch.

If you’re new to the Pikmin series, Pikmin 4 is an excellent place to start. It preserves the charm of its predecessors while refining the occasionally tricky control scheme and adjusting the story to be more accessible for newcomers. First-party title sales in the Nintendo Switch ecosystem are fairly rare — it’s not uncommon for them to remain at launch-day prices for years — so the Black Friday discount for this title is a blessing. You can  (a whopping 50% discount).
