As has become an annual tradition for the digital storefront, Steam's Summer Sale has officially arrived, offering massive discounts on hundreds of PC games. The promotion will run from today until July 8 at 10:00 AM PT and, much like last year's "Points Shop" meta event, it comes complete with a collectible-focused side activity for players to enjoy while netting themselves some huge savings.
This time around, Steam invites players to an event known as "Forge Your Fate," offering customers fourteen choose your own adventure stories that can be found during the sale. Players will be asked to pick one of two options during these tales, with their answer netting them an animated sticker as a memento. It's sure to appeal to avid collectors of Steam's animated stickers, offering them a host of new collectibles to chase down over the next fortnight.
As for the sale itself, players can grab themselves a number of significant deals, with a range of new and classic games reducing in price. Halo: The Masterchief Collection has dropped from $39.99 to $19.99, while Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is 50% off, coming in at $29.99. Other bargains include Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition, which is now $29.99, and Sea of Thieves, which players can grab for $26.79. The latter just received a major free update that crosses the game over with Pirates of the Caribbean, making it an even more lucrative deal.
Those wanting to catch up on some of the biggest releases of the year so far are in luck, with Valheim selling for $17.99, Persona 5 Strikers dropping to $40.19, and It Takes Two retailing for $29.99. Meanwhile, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is now listed at $49.79 and Nier Replicant's remake has been reduced by 25%, costing $44.99. There's also EA's recently released Knockout City, which is $14.99, and Hoods and Outlaws, which can be grabbed for $22.49.
There are tons of deals for Steam users looking to bag some cheap classics too, with the under $10 category coming loaded with bargains. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition is just $9.99 and offers hundreds of hours of content, while Batman Arkham Knight, Celeste, Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain, Oblivion: Game of the Year Deluxe, Dead Space, Resident Evil 4, Sunset Overdrive, and Yakuza 0 are all $4.99 each. Fans can even grab iconic Valve games like Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, Half-Life 2, Counterstrike: Source, and more for just $1.99 each. The sale is teeming with massive games and is definitely worth a visit before it concludes in two weeks' time.
The Steam Summer Sale will run until July 8 at 10:00 AM PT.
