The Steam Summer Sale is live with a fresh batch of big discounts

Get ready for your game library to grow, because the Steam Summer Sale is open and ready for business. The promotion runs through July 11, so you’ve got plenty of time to peruse all of the available deals, but there are a couple fun highlights in this season’s selections.

For starters, two likely contenders for 2025 game of the year are on sale. You can pick up the spectacular puzzle game Blue Prince for 15 percent off or about $25, and the lush Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has a slight discount of 10 percent, which puts it at $45. I’m sad they didn’t go thematic and make it $33, but even a small price cut is nice for games this recent.

A couple other newish releases are available at smaller discounts. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is 20 percent off, as is Black Myth: Wukong, while Civilization VII is 15 percent off. The Silent Hill 2 remake is down to $42 thanks to a 40 percent cut.

Most of the biggest deals are on older titles. For instance, if you don’t already own the excellent Doom (2016), it’s only $4 with an 80 percent off discount. Or pick up Death Stranding Director’s Cut for just $16.

Steam sales are also a prime chance to add more indies to your library. For multiplayer mayhem, Human Fall Flat and Overcooked 2 are each $6. You can explore the beautiful underwater world of Abzu for just $5. Chicory: A Colorful Tale is half off at $10 and Slime Rancher 2 is down to $20.

Those are just a few of the highlights. Now you just have to find the time to play everything you buy.
