The best deals in the 2024 Steam Spring Sale

We awarded it a 97%, our highest review score in years, with Fraser Brown calling it "the greatest RPG I've ever played." This is the same discount as we saw in the Steam Winter Sale—not much, but something!

rare over-90% review scores. 

goofy action RPG theorycrafting. It's had some ups and downs since launch, but we're positive on it. One important note: it's coming to Game very soon.

new survival mechanics and frequent updates throughout 2024.

his review, but it's still an outstanding tribute to a classic.

Morgan put it. This discount is a 5% improvement on the Winter Sale's 50%.

Best Shooter 2023
A co-op shooter with some genuinely weird locations and bosses—we described one of them as "a giant alien god that can punch through reality"—and distinctive, challenging third-person gun and melee combat. Like the first game, it's best played with friends.

Best Expansion 2023
Cyberpunk's new expansion, which completed the game's redemption arc, is on sale for a modest 15% off. The base game's 50% off as well, or you can grab the two in a bundle for 43% off the total.

Jusant | $18.74/£16.86 (25% off)
A lovely climbing game that came out around the same time Starfield and Phantom Liberty were dominating our time and attention, Jusant has been a bit of a sleeper hit. It's also an impressive shift in style for Don't Nod after years of Life Is Strange. This discount is slightly better than the Winter Sale discount.

Street Fighter 6 | $39.59/£32.99 (34% off)
The Yakuza-esque story mode is goofy fun, and the optional simplified controls, new tutorials, and expanded training options are a boon for anyone who's ever wanted to be good at Street Fighter (or at least, understand what it means to be good), but needed some patient tutoring.

excellent remake. This is a significantly better discount than we saw in last year's Winter Sale.

Best Design 2023
Dave the Diver was at the heart of a recent debate over whether facts or vibes should determine if a game is "indie" in the first place. Here's my take: Who cares? It's a brilliant videogame adventure that starts as a deceptively simple fishing and restaurant management game, and then spins up into completely unexpected and wonderful places.   

likely lead to the thought "just one more mission, then I'll go to bed... for real this time." We're sad this is the final game from developer Mimimi.

90% review. This is another slight improvement on the Winter Sale discount.

Best Setting 2023
Fishing and horror? An excellent combo. Explore the murky waters around an odd little island, upgrade your boat, and be careful what you catch. There's more than mackerel and cod in the dark depths, and you may instead haul in some Lovecraftian horrors. A slightly better discount than in the last sale.

87% review.

God of War | $24.99/£19.99 (50% off)
In 2022, one of the best PlayStation games became one of the best PC games, and now it's the cheapest it's ever been on Steam.

Best Action Game 2020
If you never got around to Supergiant's 2020 insta-classic roguelike, this is the best price we've seen for it. Come for the punchy combat, stay for the messy Greek god drama.

Best Story 2022
The lowest price we've seen on a brilliant detective game from a couple years ago. Its "deep and fascinating" story earned it one of our GOTY awards in 2022.

Marvel's Midnight Suns |$14.99/£12.49 (75% off)
🏆 2022 GOTY Runner-Up
XCOM-maker Firaxis created our favorite recent superhero game, a mix of XCOM's gridded turn-based tactics, deckbuilding, and a friendship sim. It was definitely underloved, and is a steal at this price.

94% review. This is an even bigger discount than in the last sale.

excellent roguelike about fighting hordes of monsters while collecting and combining items to generate increasingly absurd effects. Grab the bundle with the excellent expansion; it's still under $20.

one of the most interesting FPSes in gaming right now. Other extraction shooters (and other shooters in general) should take note.

Hollow Knight | $7.49/£6.39 (50% off)
The sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, will come out eventually. In the meantime, seven-and-a-half bucks is a low price to pay to find out why fans of this 2017 metroidvania are so hyped for the follow-up.

Best Narrative 2021
One of the coolest-looking games of the 2020s so far at its lowest price yet. Sable won our Best Narrative award in 2021 for its coming-of-age story about a rite of age in an otherworldly desert.

it's great. This is its lowest price yet.

Best Design 2022
Balatro is all the rage right now, but here's another great adaptation of a casino card game: Card Shark isn't about playing cards so much as it is about cheating at cards.

Strange Horticulture | $7.99/£6.74 (50% off)
🏆 Best Puzzle Game 2022
Inheriting a plant shop where nothing is labeled sounds stressful, but it's actually a wonderful combination of cozy and spooky thanks to fascinatingly odd customers, and a cat you can pet.

Roadwarden | $5.49/£4.14 (50% off)
This beautiful classic text adventure gives you 40 days to solve a mystery and complete your mission in a world full of dangerous animals and manipulative locals. It's "the first text adventure I enjoyed as much as a good book," said Lauren.

things got better, and this is almost as big as the discount gets on it. (The max we've seen is 80% off.)

Dome Keeper | $8.99/£7.49 (50% off)
A pixel art roguelike that has you constantly focusing in two directions: down to collect precious resources, and up to defend your vulnerable glass dome from alien invaders. Keep up the frantic pace, mining during the peaceful minute or so between attacks on your fragile snow globe, and see how long you can fend them off.

83% review.

Vampire Survivors | $3.99/£3.19 (20% off)
🏆 called Vampire Survivors "one of the best deals you can get on PC" at its full price... $4.99. Now it's an even bester deal. If you want to splurge, there's a bundle that contains all of the DLC released so far for $9.23.

Best Story 2017
If for some reason you still haven't played this wonderful, magical, heart-wrenching adventure, now's the time. Buy it, play it in an evening, thank us later.  

Best Design 2021
The Vampire Survivors of 2021, in the sense that it's an inexpensive game that it's easy to devote way more time to than you ever thought you would. 

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen | $4.79/£3.83 (84% off)
A steep discount on a great fantasy RPG that made its jump to PC back in 2016, and is getting a sequel very soon: Dragon's Dogma 2 is out March 21, and we're pretty excited about it.
