Deal | $14.99 game for free: Steam action-rhythm shooter with "Very Positive" reviews gets 100% off for a very limited time
Aaero is part of Fanatical’s Black Friday lineup this year, and the retailer is giving away free Steam keys while stocks last. The offer is as straightforward as it gets: claim the key between November 24 and November 26, 2025, and redeem it on Steam before December 10 at 23:00 UTC. Fanatical has capped the giveaway at 100,000 keys, and only one can be claimed per account.
The claim process is very similar to Fanatical’s usual free-key promotions. You need to subscribe to the store’s newsletter, link a valid Steam account with at least one prior purchase, then add the game to your cart and check out at zero cost. The promo is also limited to new customers. However, several countries are excluded from the offer, including India, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, Russia, Thailand, Tunisia, Uruguay, Vietnam, and others. As per multiple community reports, VPN usage regularly triggers errors such as "No items in basket," as Fanatical is seemingly tightening restrictions around the process.
Aaero originally launched on April 11, 2017, developed and published by Mad Fellows. It features high-speed rail-shooter gameplay with rhythm mechanics, where players trace paths of light and fire at targets in sync with the music. Levels take place across stylized alien environments, and the game uses a mix of licensed electronic tracks and original compositions to drive enemy patterns and boss fights. It supports controller play, Steam cloud saves, trading cards, and Steam achievements, and holds a "Very Positive" rating aggregate on Steam with an 88% approval score. There are nearly 1,000 user ratings on Steam itself, while OpenCritic scores it at 77.
Players describe Aaero as a fast, focused experience where the soundtrack and action are tightly linked. The licensed tracks help set the rhythm, and the on-rails structure keeps the pacing steady. Steam Deck (curr. $749 on Amazon) support is listed as "Playable". The base price is $14.99 on Steam, so the giveaway is a solid chance to add it to your library at no cost.
