The Steam Summer Sale 2026 opened June 25 and runs through July 9, and the storewide discounts are some of the steepest we'll see all year — average cuts of roughly 45%, with plenty of individual titles down 75% to 90%. Unlike the old flash-sale era, these prices are locked in for the full two weeks, so there's no need to refresh the store every few hours chasing a better number.
Prices below are in USD, pulled from current Steam store listings as of July 2, 2026. Steam sale pricing can shift day to day on individual titles, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a permanent price list — if a game you want has moved, the current price is always on its store page.
Big-budget picks
- Red Dead Redemption 2 — $15 (down from $60). One of the best open-world games ever made, and Steam Deck Verified if you want to play it on the go.
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Complete Edition) — $4 (down from $40). At this price it's close to free for 100+ hours of content, and it's also Steam Deck Verified.
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor — $14 (down from $70), an 80% cut on Respawn's most recent Jedi entry.
- No Man's Sky — $24 (down from $60). Years of free updates have turned this into one of the most content-dense sci-fi sandboxes on Steam.
- Dead Space — $6 (down from $60), the EA Motive remake, a 90% discount.
- RoboCop: Rogue City — $4 (down from $40).
Under $15
- Titanfall 2 — $4.49 (down from $29.99). Still one of the sharpest single-player campaigns and movement shooters around.
- Mortal Kombat 11 — $2.49 (down from $60), about as cheap as a modern fighting game gets.
- Return to Monkey Island — $7.49 (down from $25).
- Hades — roughly $6.24 off its usual price — Steam Deck Verified and one of the best-suited games on the platform for handheld sessions.
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — around $24 at 60% off its $59.99 launch price.
Budget bin (under $2)
- The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth — $1.50 (down from $15).
- Hotline Miami — $0.99.
Worth noting even without a deep discount
Hollow Knight: Silksong is only 25% off, but that still marks its lowest price on Steam since launch — worth grabbing now if you've been waiting for any discount at all rather than holding out for a bigger one that historically hasn't come.

A note on timing
Because this is a fixed two-week storewide sale rather than rotating daily deals, there's no strategic reason to wait for a "better day" — what you see is what you get until July 9. After the Summer Sale wraps, Steam's next scheduled events are the Social Deduction Fest and Train Fest in July, so don't expect another storewide markdown for a while if you're eyeing something not listed here.
If you're shopping specifically for Steam Deck, the safest picks from this list are the ones already tagged Verified — Red Dead Redemption 2, The Witcher 3, and Hades — since they're confirmed to run well on the handheld out of the box without extra tinkering.
