On June 27th, the Steam Summer Sale finally began, offering incredibly attractive discounts that will last until July 11th. This moment is eagerly awaited by all PC gamers, as the offers during the summer sale are simply crazy! Players are trying to purchase as many games as possible to expand their Steam library or add to a franchise collection, even if they never play them.
And it's worth it because before you could buy only one game for a certain amount, now you can grab several. Moreover, Valve offers a 15% discount on its portable console, the Steam Deck, for both the 64GB and 512GB versions. So, let's see which top titles you can get at this year's summer sale.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Probably only those who are not familiar with video games have not heard about Geralt of Rivia, as this is a classic that all gamers should try. Despite the game being 9 years old, many players, for various reasons, are not personally familiar with the Witcher's story, his achievements, relationships with beautiful women, and monster slayings. Therefore, you have a great opportunity to fix this, as the game costs only $3.99, and if you pay $12.49, you'll get the complete edition, which includes all expansions: Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone.
Elden Ring
Recently, FromSoftware released DLC for The Elden Ring called Shadow of the Erdtree. If you are not yet familiar with this grand souls-like, now is the perfect time to purchase and explore the original game, which is discounted to $41.99 from $59.99. This game is the best that has happened to this sub-genre until Hidetaka Miyazaki and George Martin create an even more iconic story.
Baldur’s Gate 3
An RPG from Larian Studio that won numerous awards in various categories, including "Game of the Year 2023." Baldur’s Gate 3 captivated players worldwide, offering a vast variety of gameplay scenarios, erotic and spicy scenes, interesting characters, sometimes funny events, and an engaging plot. Do you need any more reasons to buy this game? Probably only one: if you don't like turn-based combat systems or RPGs. Otherwise, nothing should stop you from buying BG3 for just $41.99.
Red Dead Redemption
Most players will remember Rockstar Games as the studio that created the iconic Grand Theft Auto franchise. But it's worth noting that Red Dead Redemption 2 is equally significant for the gaming industry, offering one of the best-crafted in-game worlds filled with various Easter eggs, interesting locations, physics, and Arthur Morgan's story. This will not leave anyone with a cold heart. So, while the discount is active, you can set off and conquer the Wild West for just $19.79.
Cyberpunk 2077 (Ultimate Edition)
Despite a not very successful start filled with bugs, glitches, and optimization issues, this project managed to break through to the peak of its success. Thanks to an exciting world full of cyber-people, corrupt businessmen, and, of course, Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand. For $29.99, you will have the opportunity to visit Night City and explore all its hidden corners, owning not only the base edition but also the expansion.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
PC owners no longer need a PlayStation to play some previously exclusive projects, as they are now available on Steam. Among such games is, of course, Spider-Man, still considered one of the most interesting PS games, telling us the story of friendly neighborhood Peter Parker for just $35.99.
Hades
If you love roguelike games and Ancient Greek history, Hades is for you. Here, you will meet many famous gods and heroes you've read about in books. Given that Hades II was recently released, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start with the original game, which now costs $9.99.
Deep Rock Galactic
Do you love dwarves, mining, space, and hate bugs and various arthropods? Then we suggest you join the team of dwarf miners who destroy hordes of crawling insects while mining various ores for their boss. If you want to buy this game, make sure to convince your friends to do the same, as playing in a team is much more enjoyable than playing alone. Moreover, the game has started a new season with some new gameplay features. Deep Rock Galactic is available for $9.89.
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
Disco Elysium is an RPG that has received several awards and attention for its interesting gameplay and story. The game is set in the fictional city of Revachol, where players control a detective suffering from amnesia, tasked with solving a complex murder case. The game is known for its deep narrative, rich character development, and a wide range of dialogues that give players significant choice and multiple event outcomes. You can get the game for just $3.99, and by purchasing the set for $12.58, you will also get Control Ultimate Edition, making it a very good deal.
Sea of Thieves
"Hey-ho, hoist the sails!" Thanks to a 50% discount, you can buy Sea of Thieves for $19.99 and feel like a real pirate, participating in various sea battles against enemy teams, showing who the real master of the seven seas is. Despite some criticism and mixed reviews, this game deserves your attention if you are fascinated by pirate themes and don't mind drinking a bottle of rum.
