The handheld was a prize draw, not something every buyer received. The available reporting does not establish that this New Year offer is still open.
What did the $1 New Year Mystery Box include?
PC Guide reported on January 12, 2026, that Fanatical’s New Year’s Edition Mystery Box Bundle offered one mystery Steam key for $1. The key was drawn from a pool of more than 500 games, according to that report. The purchase was for a game key; the Steam Deck was a separate chance-based prize. Read PC Guide’s January report.
Was a Steam Deck OLED guaranteed?
No. The report described a chance to win a 1TB Steam Deck OLED, not a guaranteed handheld with each $1 key. No verified odds for the New Year prize are established in the available reporting, so the size of the game pool cannot be used to calculate a chance of winning. Nor is there evidence that buying extra keys guaranteed a win or improved the odds.
Is the New Year offer still available?
Its current availability is not established. The January report gives no verified closing date, and the current Fanatical promotion is a different campaign. As of October 8, 2026, Fanatical’s product page and terms describe a Mystery Crate promotion with random Steam keys, Golden Crates, weekly drops and a Steam Machine grand prize; its terms say it ends October 14, 2026. Those are not the New Year Mystery Box’s terms. Fanatical Mystery Crate page · Fanatical’s Mystery Crate terms.

How does it differ from Fanatical’s later Mystery Box campaign?
Fanatical’s official June 2026 blog described a separate Mystery Box campaign. It offered up to 25 random Steam keys from a catalogue of over 500 titles, and included five Golden Boxes and a chance to win a 1TB OLED Steam Deck during week one. Those details confirm that Fanatical ran another Mystery Box promotion featuring a Steam Deck prize, but they do not establish the January edition’s rules or availability.
