GOG kicked off their Black Friday 2025 sale today with one of their biggest discount events ever. Over 7,500 DRM-free games are marked down as much as 95%, covering everything from modern AAA blockbusters to beloved retro classics. The sale runs from November 25 through December 3, giving you just over a week to grab deals before they disappear. New customers can even stack an extra 15% off using promo code GOG15 on their first purchase.
Biggest Deals on Recent Blockbusters
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition leads the charge at 75% off, dropping to just $11.07 from its usual $44.28 price tag. CD Projekt Red’s other hit, Cyberpunk 2077, sits at 55% off for $28.47, while the Phantom Liberty expansion is discounted 20%. For players who still haven’t experienced these massive RPGs, this is the time to jump in without breaking the bank.
Baldur’s Gate 3 gets its first major discount at 20% off for $50.61, saving you nearly $13 on one of 2023’s most acclaimed releases. Larian’s earlier masterpiece Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition is even cheaper at 70% off, bringing it down to $11.38. Manor Lords, the viral medieval city builder that took over YouTube earlier this year, drops to $30.99 with a 30% discount.
Classic RPGs and Strategy Games
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is 67% off at $17.95, though veterans might remember snagging it for less during previous sales. Fallout 4 Game of the Year Edition sits at around $15, which is higher than some past promotions but still solid for newcomers. Theme Hospital and RollerCoaster Tycoon Deluxe Edition are both 75-80% off, perfect for management sim fans on a tight budget.
Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete is 75% off at $4.99, delivering hundreds of hours of turn-based strategy for the price of a fancy coffee. The Yakuza Complete Series bundle offers massive value at $45.31, saving nearly $68 compared to buying games individually. That’s eight full games spanning multiple console generations for less than a new AAA release.
Hidden Gems Under $5
The real treasure hunting happens in the under-$5 category where classic titles hit rock-bottom prices. Hitman Blood Money and Hitman Contracts are both $0.91. Star Wars Knights of the Republic and its sequel KOTOR II cost $4.78 each. Tomb Raider GOTY edition dropped to 85% off, while the original Witcher game costs just $1.21.
Dungeon Keeper Gold and Dungeon Keeper 2 are both $2.39, giving you Bullfrog’s legendary management sim duology for less than a pack of gum. Beyond Good and Evil costs $2.20. Darkest Dungeon is $3.08. At these prices, you can build a massive backlog for what you’d spend on a single new release. Just be realistic about whether you’ll actually play everything you buy.
Special Bundles with Limited Stock
GOG created special themed bundles with additional discounts, but these have limited copies available and will sell out before the sale ends. The bundles cover RPG collections, turn-based combat games, strategy titles, and what GOG diplomatically calls naughty games. These aren’t listed with specific copy counts, so if you see a bundle you want, grab it rather than waiting.
The limited nature creates artificial urgency, which is classic sale tactics. But if you genuinely want multiple games in a bundle and the discount beats buying them separately, the math works in your favor. Just don’t let FOMO push you into purchasing bundles for games you’ll never install.
New and Preserved Releases
The sale coincides with several new additions to GOG’s Preservation Program including Cold Fear, I Am Alive, Rayman 2: The Great Escape, and multiple classic titles that received technical restoration work. These games launch with Black Friday discounts, letting you grab freshly restored versions at reduced prices. It’s good timing if you’ve been waiting for these games to return to digital storefronts.
Even Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection appears on GOG now, expanding the platform’s PlayStation exclusives catalog beyond what many expected. The collection includes all three original Uncharted games remastered for PC. Seeing former PlayStation-only franchises arrive DRM-free on GOG represents a significant shift in how platform exclusives eventually migrate to PC.
New Customer Extra Discount
First-time GOG customers can use promo code GOG15 for an additional 15% off their first paid order. This stacks with existing Black Friday discounts, making already good deals even better. The catch is it only works once and only for new accounts, so choose wisely if you’re creating your first GOG purchase.
The optimal strategy is building a cart with multiple discounted games, then applying the 15% code to maximize savings. One major AAA title plus several budget classics gives you better value than using the code on a single cheap game. Do the math before checking out to squeeze every dollar from that one-time bonus.
Why GOG Black Friday Hits Different
Unlike Steam sales where you’re buying licenses tied to Valve’s platform, GOG sells DRM-free installers you own outright. Download the game files, back them up wherever you want, and they’ll work forever regardless of whether GOG stays in business. For preservation-minded gamers, this matters more than saving a few extra dollars on Steam.
The trade-off is GOG’s catalog is smaller than Steam’s and some games arrive late or never make it to the platform. But for the 7,500+ games on sale right now, you’re getting the same content without digital restrictions. That peace of mind has value, especially for classic games where activation servers could shut down any day.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the GOG Black Friday sale end?
The sale runs through December 3, 2025 at 11 PM UTC, though some regions might see it end on December 4 depending on time zones. Don’t wait until the last minute as limited bundles may sell out earlier.
Can I get refunds if games don’t work?
GOG offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you can’t get a game working despite troubleshooting with their support team, you can request a full refund within 30 days of purchase.
Do GOG games work on Steam Deck?
Yes, though you’ll need to add them as non-Steam games or use compatibility tools. GOG Galaxy doesn’t run natively on Steam Deck, but the DRM-free installers work fine once you copy them over.
How does the GOG15 new customer code work?
Enter GOG15 at checkout for 15% off your first paid order. It stacks with sale prices but only works once and only for accounts that haven’t made previous purchases.
Are these prices the lowest we’ll see or should I wait for Christmas sales?
Black Friday and Christmas sales typically feature similar discounts. Some games might drop slightly lower in December, but the difference is usually small. If you want something now, buy it rather than gambling on potential future savings.
Can I gift games purchased during the sale?
Yes, GOG supports gifting. You can purchase games and send them directly to friends via email, or buy gift codes to distribute however you want.
Do I need GOG Galaxy to play games or can I just download installers?
GOG Galaxy is optional. You can download standalone installers for every game and run them without any client software. Galaxy just provides convenience features like auto-updates and cloud saves.
Conclusion
GOG’s Black Friday 2025 sale delivers massive discounts across their entire DRM-free catalog. Whether you’re hunting for modern blockbusters like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 or building a collection of classic RPGs and strategy games, the deals run deep enough to justify splurging on your backlog. The stacking 15% new customer discount sweetens the pot for first-time buyers, while preservation-focused additions like Cold Fear and I Am Alive give you access to restored versions of games that disappeared from other storefronts. Just remember that your backlog is already too big and buying more games won’t magically create time to play them. But if you’re going to expand that backlog anyway, at least do it during a sale this comprehensive. The event runs through December 3, so you’ve got about a week to separate the must-haves from the nice-to-haves and make your wallet cry accordingly.
