Five upcoming games to pre-order below list price

Modern Warfare 4, GTA 6 and three more autumn releases can already be pre-ordered below list price. Where to buy each, and what to check first.

Deals · By getcheapgames · · · 4 min read

Five of the biggest games due between now and early December can already be pre-ordered for less than their list price. We checked every price on GCG for Ireland, in euros, on 12 October 2026. Prices change daily, so check the game's page again before you buy.

We only list keys sold for Europe or worldwide, which should activate on an Irish account. Cheaper region-locked keys exist for some of these games; we have left them out.

At a glance

October

Final Fantasy Resonance

Square Enix's first Final Fantasy in the HD-2D style is developed by Lancarse and rebuilds the first story arc of the mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius as a full console RPG with turn-based battles. It is coming to PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and Switch 2. The only offer below list on GCG today is a worldwide Steam key at €43.35 on Kinguin, a modest saving of €6.64.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4

Infinity Ward's shooter launches on Friday 23 October on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Switch 2. Gfinity lists the Standard Edition at €80 on Xbox and PlayStation and €70 on PC. The saving on GCG today is on console: a Europe Xbox key at €61.32 on Kinguin, 23% under the Xbox price, and a Europe Switch 2 key at €74.89. We have no PC offers for it yet. Every edition lists pre-order bonuses, including early campaign access, but check that a marketplace listing says it includes them.

Phantom Blade Zero

S-GAME's action game was pushed back 50 days, from 9 September to 29 October, to give the team time to improve character models and environments. It is coming to PS5 and to PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. A Europe Steam key is €46.80 on Kinguin, against €59.99 on Steam.

November and December

Grand Theft Auto VI

Rockstar lists 19 November on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The cheapest key that works in Ireland is an Xbox key (Europe) at €67.38 on Kinguin, 16% under the €79.99 list price; the cheapest Europe PS5 key is €68.92, also on Kinguin. Rockstar's pre-order bonus, the Vintage Vice City Pack, is tied to pre-ordering, so check whether a key listing mentions it. For our take on the game itself, watch GTA 6 is Red Dead Redemption 2 in Vice City.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV

KING Art moved its PC release to 3 December, saying it needed more time for performance work, bug fixing and polish. Commander Edition owners can start on 30 November. Here the best price that works in Ireland is on Steam itself: €53.99, 10% off €59.99, in line with the 10% pre-order discount Deep Silver announced. A cheaper €39.99 key on Kinguin is region-locked and may not activate on an Irish account, so we have left it out.

Pre-ordering a key: what to check

  • Bonuses. Official pre-order extras come from the store you buy from. A marketplace key should say whether they are included.
  • Platform and region. Make sure the key is for the platform you play on and is sold for Europe or worldwide.
  • Fees. Marketplace prices do not include the service fee added at checkout, or any payment fee. Compare checkout totals; how we rank offers explains why.
  • Seller. On a marketplace you buy from a third-party seller, so check their rating on the listing.
  • For games that are already out, see all deals.
