The annual Red Hot Sale is now live at Fanatical, offering over 8,000 PC games at a steep discount. The majority of games are sold as Steam keys, allowing you to easily add them to your collection after making a purchase. Better yet, you’ll get a scratch card that comes with either a free game or coupon when spending over $12–making the sale all the more enticing.
