Some major news forElden Ringfans just hit the internet, but this time it has nothing to do with story spoilers, gameplay, or NPCs. Instead, the news is important to fans who wish to preorderElden Ringbut are afraid to spend too much money up-front.
WhileMiyazaki was busy makingElden Ringless stressful, one website was busy putting less stress on players' wallets. Not only is the website making sure it is well-stocked onElden RingSteam keys, but it is also offering both the standard and deluxe editions of the game at a fairly reduced price.

The name of the website is Fanatical, a well-known and trusted seller of official Steam keys. Like other popular Steam key website G2A, Fanaticalsells Steam keys to players, allowing them to buy the product from Fanatical and immediately head over to Steam to redeem the key. Once redeemed in Steam, the game is ready to be downloaded immediately, or in the case of a preorder will be ready to download as soon as the game officially launches.
WithElden Ring’s release date fast approaching, this discount is huge news for players who were on the fence about paying full price for the game. On Fanatical’s website, the standard edition has been marked down 16%, bringing the total cost of the preorder to just barely over $50. The same discount has been applied to the deluxe edition, bringing its total to just over $67.
For players who were deciding where their hard-earned money would be spent, both of these discounts are a huge deal. Players who couldn’t decide whether to pre-order for a typical $60 price tag now have a much more affordable launch price. For players who were sure they would buy the game but weren’t sure about the massive $80 required to purchase the deluxe edition, a $13 discount may be enough to sway them. Players are right to questionwhat to expect fromElden Ringin terms of money spent versus quality, but overall, this news is great for all fans of the game, as making the prices more affordable is sure to attract more players to pre-order the game.
If they intend on taking advantage of the discount, players need to act on it, as Fanatical has not reported how long the discount will last for. Like with G2A, Fanatical game prices fluctuate day-by-day, so for those that wish to snag a discounted copy ofElden Ring, they need to do so as soon as they possibly can.
Elden Ringis set to release on February 25 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
