PC Guide reported on October 1, 2026, that buyers in the US could select all 14 listed Steam Deck Verified or Playable games for $39.90, against a reported combined original price of $174.86. Those are reported figures, not a guarantee of today’s checkout price; Fanatical’s listing displays separate UK pricing, so check the live offer for your region.
How the October Platinum Collection works
Fanatical describes the October 2026 Platinum Collection as a build-your-own bundle. You choose which games to include and how many to buy; you do not have to purchase all 14. Fanatical says the games are supplied as official Steam keys, and its listing displays a UK activation notice. Check the activation region and terms shown for your location before buying.
