The best deals in the 2025 Steam Spring Sale
The first seasonal Steam sale of the year has arrived with deals on many of last year's biggest games, and even a few discounts on brand new ones.

It doesn't feel like the year has properly started until we've got a seasonal Steam sale under our belt. The Spring Sale tends to look a lot like the previous year's Winter Sale, and that's true here, but there has been some movement—Dragon Age: The Veilguard is down to $30, and there are a few brand new games with modest discounts, including Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth (well, new to PC, anyway).
For even more recommendations, we compiled a best survival games for even more inspiration.

Steam Spring Sale: Best of 2024
Game of the Year 2024
A roguelike deckbuilder phenomenon and our 2024 GOTY. Balatro hasn't been discounted deeper than this yet, and probably won't be until another seasonal sale or two .
Best RPG 2024
A 25% discount on this $70 RPG brings it close to the old $50 standard for PC games—not bad for game that's been out for less than six months (and that was also our favorite RPG of 2024).
Best Multiplayer 2024
The typical discount for Helldivers 2. The hype has died down after a year of Super Earth defense, but it remains one of our favorite co-op shooters.
Creative Achievement 2024
A collection of 50 classic games from a defunct—and entirely made-up—developer of 8-bit games. UFO 50 is a collaborative project by six indie devs, including Spelunky creator Derek Yu.
Best City Builder 2024
It's still in early access, but that didn't stop us from calling Manor Lords the best city builder of last year.
Chris loved this supernatural survival roadtrip, and declared its car "one of the best vehicles in videogames, ever."
his review, and Fraser has played a lot of games, and I imagine quite a lot them have also been funny, which tells you this one ought to be pretty funny.
Best Sandbox 2024
This automation game has been one of our favorites for years. The base price increased when it left early access in 2024, so this is far from the lowest price it's ever hit, but it's probably as low as it'll go in the near future.
Steam Spring Sale: Games under $25
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 2023 expansion was 15% off in the last sale, now 25%. The base game's 60% off as well (its lowest price yet), or you can grab the two in a bundle for $42.76.
his review, but it's still an outstanding tribute to a classic.
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.
Jusant | $12.49/£11.24 (50% off)
A lovely climbing game that came out around the same time Starfield and Phantom Liberty were dominating the conversation in 2023, Jusant was a bit of a sleeper hit.
Best Design 2023
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.
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.
most interesting FPSes in gaming right now. Other extraction shooters (and other shooters in general) should take note.
Steam Spring Sale: Games under $10
Doom: The Dark Ages buzz. (Or if you just want to play two great FPSes that you should definitely play.)
Best Singleplayer 2015
The Witcher 3 is discounted often, but this is the lowest it generally goes for. Take the plunge: The water's still warm even as The Witcher 3's 10 year anniversary approaches.
Best Design 2019
If you like Balatro and haven't played one of the key roguelike deckbuilder trendsetters of the past 10 years, get on it—it's great, cheap, and Slay the Spire 2 is coming later this year.
Monster Train | $7.49/£6.29 (70% off)
Another trendsetting roguelike deckbuilder with a sequel on the way and a deep discount. It's almost like these things are really popular! Monster Train is actually quite different from Slay the Spire, though, and a lot of fun.
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.
Cruelty Squad | $5.99/£4.64 (70% off) 💸
What's that? PC Gamer likes a weird shooter with a depressed protagonist and garish low-fi graphics that reference '90s rendering tech? We may be predictable, but it doesn't mean we're wrong.
Marvel's Midnight Suns |$8.99/£7.49 (85% off)
🏆 2022 GOTY Runner-Up
XCOM-maker Firaxis created our favorite singleplayer superhero game in recent memory, 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.
Steam Spring Sale: Games under $5
Split Fiction, here's its 2018 co-op adventure for a super low price. The catch is that for online co-op you'll have to use Steam's Remote Play Together feature, but it works.
Enter the Gungeon | $1.49/£1.27 (90% off)
Not even $2 for one of the most popular action dungeon crawlers of the past decade—if that's doesn't convince you to step into the Gungeon, then probably nothing will.
Best Comedy Game 2017
Cheaper than its ever been on Steam, not that the distinction means much when the difference is in dimes and pennies, but whatever—this is one of our favorite comedy games and it costs very little.
Roadwarden | $3.84/£2.90 (65% 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.
