The Steam Summer Sale is one of the most anticipated events for PC gamers worldwide. Hosted annually by Valve on its Steam platform, the event brings steep discounts on thousands of games across every genre. Whether you’re into first-person shooters, immersive RPGs, or quirky indie titles, there’s something for everyone.
According to Express, the Steam Summer Sale 2025 kicked off on June 26 at 6 PM BST (1 PM ET) and runs until July 10. That gives gamers two full weeks to grab their most-wanted titles at massive discounts.
TechRadar lists several top-tier games that are already confirmed to be on sale:
Elden Ring – 40% off
Cyberpunk 2077 – 50% off
Resident Evil 4 Remake – 30% off
Starfield – 25% off
Baldur’s Gate 3 – 20% off
These blockbuster games, some with major expansions or sequel announcements on the horizon, are rarely discounted this deeply outside of Steam’s flagship sales.
The Steam Summer Sale isn’t just about big-name studios. There’s a treasure trove of indie and mid-tier titles that shine just as bright:
Hades – 66% off
Celeste – 75% off
Slay the Spire – 70% off
Hollow Knight – 50% off (perfect timing ahead of the much-anticipated sequel, Silksong)
If you’re gaming on a Steam Deck, the sale is even more enticing. Many discounted titles are fully verified or playable on Valve’s handheld device, offering a premium on-the-go experience. Games like Dead Cells, Vampire Survivors, and Stardew Valley run flawlessly, making them top picks for portable play.
Before the sale hits full swing, update your Steam wishlist. You’ll get notified when games you want are discounted, helping you stay focused (and within budget).
Take advantage of Steam’s filters. Sorting by tags like “Overwhelmingly Positive” or “Multiplayer” ensures you pick games you’ll love.
Look for publisher packs and franchise bundles. Series like Tomb Raider or Metro offer comprehensive collections that save you more than buying games individually.
As highlighted by The Verge, the Steam Summer Sale 2025 is more than a discount event — it’s a celebration of PC gaming culture. From newcomers building their first libraries to veterans stocking up for their Steam Deck, there’s never been a better time to buy.
Whether you game at a desk or on a handheld device, the Steam Summer Sale 2025 delivers unbeatable value. With thousands of games on sale, including sequels, indies, and Steam Deck-ready favorites, this is your best chance to expand your library for less. Just don’t forget to check your wishlist before the clock runs out on July 10.
