It&#8217;s true, and while there\u2019s only a small chance you\u2019ll actually win, you won\u2019t leave empty-handed. Every dollar gets you a Steam key, potentially filling your library with classic AAA games and underappreciated indies, which can be a great way of finding something new or adding Steam trading cards to your inventory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve written about Fanatical\u2019s limited-time mystery bundles a fair amount. I\u2019ve never won any of the major prizes, but I have been fortunate enough to get plenty of new and interesting games in my library. Of course, there are plenty that I haven\u2019t played yet\u2014my backlog is already full enough as it is\u2014but having no shortage of games to choose from is my vibe, and the mystery bundles? Well, they give you keys in droves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the games I got from a 25-pack of the Mystery Crate bundle was Resident Evil 6 Complete. As a fan of horror games, I\u2019m excited to finally try this entry in the series. I also got Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition, and considering I hadn\u2019t finished the launch version (fans of the Day One box art, unite), I\u2019m happy to finally give it another try. Another one I\u2019m hoping to play soon is Hauntsville, an indie horror survival game with a western twist.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Steam Machine: Official Overview and Quick Start Guide\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XPNW3GCIeOM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fanatical Mystery Crate bundle doesn\u2019t just have a Steam Machine up for grabs, either. Some lucky buyers could get instant grand prizes, including $1,000&#8217;s worth of games through the Golden Crates or keys to games like Crimson Desert and Doom: The Dark Ages. Unsurprisingly, these are elusive wins, but they do happen, and it could happen to you. That would certainly be worth bragging about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For one lucky winner, however, the prize is the coveted 2TB Steam Machine, alongside a handy Steam Controller to go with it. Each Mystery Crate acts as a ticket, so the more keys you buy, the more chances you have. And, best of all, each key becomes cheaper when you buy more in a single purchase. Instead of paying $1 \/ \u00a31 each, you can get 25 keys for $17.49 \/ \u00a317.49, making them considerably cheaper. Once again, you\u2019re not just spending money for a chance at the hardware\u2014you\u2019re actually getting a game with each crate. The result is random, but the excitement? Priceless. You can buy some Mystery Crates here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, don\u2019t waste the opportunity while this bundle is around. Stock up on some indie games, add a few Steam trading cards to your inventory, and cross your fingers for the Steam Machine. You know what? I\u2019ll cross my fingers, too, hoping you get it, dear reader.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Disclosure: GameSpot and Fanatical are both owned by Fandom.
