Fanatical, a popular United Kingdom-based verified retailer of video games and software, launched the 'Mystery Egg Bundle' at varying price points. The bundle offers customers the ability to buy either 1, 5, 10, 15, or 20 random Steam game codes, each of which are guaranteed to be for a different game. The codes are then distributed in the form of "Mystery Eggs" which are colored according to their rarity.
Lower-tier mystery eggs will give the player a small game usually worth $10 or less, while the highest-rarity egg, the Golden Eggs, will give the player impressively valuable rewards. These rewards include AAA-tier video games worth $70, Steam Deck gaming consoles worth $700, and Steam Deck accessory bundles worth up to $100. The largest version of the bundle, the 20-key version, retails for $15 USD.
