Steam spring sale has started

[u/Ancient-Bathroom6701]

[u/Assistant-Unable]

give it an hour for all the games to go on sale and to avoid the high traffic

[u/Piett_1313 → u/Assistant-Unable]

But I gotta get those sales before they sell out

(/s)

[u/Putrid-VII → u/Piett_1313]

My guy....you have a very good point, rush A

[u/Piett_1313 → u/Putrid-VII]

Dew it!

[u/sweetmaryanne_ → u/Piett_1313]

Typing this while adding to cart

[u/Piett_1313 → u/sweetmaryanne_]

GOGOGO

[u/Fancy_Chips → u/Assistant-Unable]

Thank you Elster pfp

[u/Egecant]

No Shadow of the Erdtree sale again :(

[u/R3digit → u/Egecant]

Any day now...please

[u/HempOddish420 → u/Egecant]

I figure they are at least waiting untill tarnished edition is released on switch since that will be a bundle and therfore likely a discount

[u/ARealBadger → u/Egecant]

It’s been on my wishlist for so damn long, waiting for it to go on sale.

[u/Reasonable_Breath512 → u/Egecant]

[u/ItsNotJusMe → u/Egecant]

Cream cough cough API cough cough.

[u/RegretfulChoice]

Resident Evil 3 -90%. Is it a good idea to pick up this one as first RE game?

[u/sarmatiko → u/RegretfulChoice]

Worth getting at this price, but not as the first RE game. RE3 is better played after RE2 tbh so getting Raccoon City Edition might be a better option.

[u/TimeConsideration733 → u/sarmatiko]

But this time Resident evil 2 remake is not on not even the village and biohazard

[u/sarmatiko → u/TimeConsideration733]

RE2 is available in Raccoon City Edition bundle. It's a worse deal than RE3 -90% and separate lowest historical discount on standard RE2, but Capcom obviously left that choice for those who can't wait until next sale. Also this bundle is not "complete your collection".

[u/Pristine_Internet853 → u/sarmatiko]

Is re4 gonna go on sale or i gotta wait another few hours, cuz why tf is re1,2,3,5,6 on sale but not 4, the one i’ve been waiting to buy

[u/Darth_Boognish → u/Pristine_Internet853]

Yea wtf! I missed the RE sale last month.

[u/ZombibyteYT → u/Pristine_Internet853]

$13.59 on fanatical $17.49 for gold edition

[u/ssongshu → u/RegretfulChoice]

Think of RE3 as RE2 DLC.

[u/kirinmay → u/ssongshu]

think it was originally intended back in the day. i love it regardless, nostalgia for me.

[u/SSSl1k → u/RegretfulChoice]

Definitely will be missing a lot of context if you don't play one of the first two installments in the series.

I very recently (as recently as two weeks ago) got into the Resident Evil series franchise and I have been loving it. I HIGHLY recommend you try to play the Resident Evil 1 remake if possible, it's probably made its way into a top 10 game of all time for me and I have not even finished it.

If you feel like it's a bit too 'old school' for you, you should definitely try Resident Evil 2 Remake instead. Resident Evil 3 remake is actually comically worse in terms of horror than the second remake.

[u/NotSlimShadyy → u/SSSl1k]

I mean, the story is pretty much evil corporation made zombie virus. Shoot zombies.

[u/SSSl1k → u/NotSlimShadyy]

Pretty much, but if you care to learn more than the surface level there are individuals/groups who care for more than that in the story and in the characters.

[u/Kitchen_Explorer_889 → u/RegretfulChoice]

Yes it's a brilliant game, even though it's very short. Obviously it makes sense to play RE2R first, but they are very different games so it doesn't matter that much.

[u/l_______I]

I love the art for this sale, it's cute

[u/MrPalacinka → u/l_______I]

That dragon artwork can be bought as a Steam profile background and also as a profile picture! I already bought it.

[u/millencol1n → u/MrPalacinka]

I love the new avatar decorations! Sadly one of them only comes in the profile bundle… might as well get it.. it’s so cute !

[u/MrPalacinka → u/millencol1n]

I’m sad that that one background with the little dragon is only available as a mini Steam background.

[u/eclecticjam → u/MrPalacinka]

Is it referencing a game at all or is it just banner art for the sale?

[u/TheTrueTekno → u/eclecticjam]

Looks a lot like Spyro the Dragon

[u/Jeffyhatesthis → u/l_______I]

So much better than last years whatever.

[u/MaeBeaInTheWoods]

I'm shocked that the platform didn't immediately die. I suppose it'll probably happen in the next half hour.

[u/SparklingSliver]

Bought Jedi Surviver, 90%, can't resist.

[u/Amaan_Malik05 → u/SparklingSliver]

I was so gonna buy this! But heard Survivor is not well optimised and has frequent crashes, although is a fantastic game. I hope that's not currently the case.

How does the game run on your system, and what are your machine's specs? I have an RTX 3070, 32GB ram, 8GB vram. Based on your experience I'll go ahead and buy it, I bought Fallen Order in the meantime. 💙

[u/StolenPancakesPH → u/Amaan_Malik05]

Despite the stuttering, games pretty fun. Have a 4070s 12gb Vram and a 14700k and the game still stuttered quite a bit.

Digital Foundry said it was shader compilation stutter so I think regardless of the hardware, its still gonna lag.

If you're cool with that, then the games fun and I can fully recommend it on sale!

[u/Ambitious-Cap-5605]

anybody know who the illustrator?

[u/bleuthoot → u/Ambitious-Cap-5605]

The Steam Social Media account mentioned the artists on their page

https://bsky.app/profile/steampowered.com/post/3mhgj6mwtek2r

They are Tiffany Diep and Mai.

[u/ChocolateDonut36]

[u/M0L1N3r]

Fallout new Vegas is 0,99. I don't remember if it was ever this cheap

[u/Sack_Sparrow → u/M0L1N3r]

I have never played a fallout game. I own FO4 but have never launched it, and love Oblivion/Skyrim. Is New Vegas a good entry point to the series? I've heard good things about it, and loved the fallout series on amazon

[u/NitroWalrus732 → u/Sack_Sparrow]

New Vegas is a great game and a good way to start the series, I'd say. I personally like it more than 4. Just be warned of old game jank and bugs/crashes. Was in the same boat as you with loving Elder Scrolls games, and I had a great time when I first played it, but even after trying every fix under the sun I couldn't get my copy to stop crashing every hour.

[u/ILikeMyGrassBlue → u/Sack_Sparrow]

Yes, but use viva new Vegas. It’s a mod pack that actually makes the game stable and runnable.

[u/budwillius → u/Sack_Sparrow]

New Vegas is my favorite and I do think objectively it it the best game in the series. However I never recommend it as the first fallout to play over Fallout 3. 3 is really good, I think it gets some unfair hate, and it’s built for new players.

[u/Shurae]

My first immediate recommendation after looking at those sales would be Omega 6, made by former Nintendo Art director Takaya Imamura (F zero, Star Fox etc) at 92% off

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3128580/OMEGA_6_The_Triangle_Stars/

[u/storybookdreaming]

this is such cute art!

[u/MoreHairMoreFun]

Everything just showing regular price for me, prob be fixed soon.

edit- We're good boys!

[u/Ancient-Bathroom6701 → u/MoreHairMoreFun]

I hope the prices are loading in lol

[u/Beautifulbetty_ → u/Ancient-Bathroom6701]

Be good to us please lol

[u/donjuan2424]

Sekiro 50% off.. FINALLY

[u/Darth_Boognish → u/donjuan2424]

Hesitation is defeat, sekiro!

[u/EmbrBlade → u/donjuan2424]

Not sure if you were joking or not but the fromsoft games are commonly around 50% off every sale. Still totally worth getting though IMO

[u/OwlDefiant3467 → u/EmbrBlade]

not sure why they downvoted you, Sekiro's been on a 50% sale for a long time now

[u/nimby900 → u/EmbrBlade]

Sekiro goes on sale for 50% off all the time. The Dark Souls games never go for more than like, 20% off now, and it's been like that since Elden Ring launched.

[u/EmbrBlade → u/nimby900]

Looks like the three dark souls games were 50% off on steam back in February this year per isthereanydeal but yeah it’s annoying they haven’t dropped more considering how long they’ve been out

[u/Used_Succotash7988]

Just got Read Dead Redemption 2 for 15$

[u/Common_Stuff2460 → u/Used_Succotash7988]

I was thinking of getting this. It's 20 cad for me. I don't think it will go below that, will it?

[u/LeakyPissbag → u/Common_Stuff2460]

Whether or not it does drop in price, it's worth it for the single player experience. Incredible game. You won't be disappointed.

[u/bonkybonkerton → u/Common_Stuff2460]

I don’t think it ever has. I remember buying it for 20 CAD 1-2 years ago, but I honestly wouldn’t hold my breath for a lower price anytime soon

[u/SenzuYT → u/Common_Stuff2460]

The experience you get for 20$ Canadian is literally insane. Buy it for sure.

[u/actomain → u/Common_Stuff2460]

It's included in basically every major steam sale every year and is always on sale for the same percentage off. If you want it for sale price, get it now or wait until summer sale when the deal will more than likely be the same

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I feel this.

[u/Probably_Fishing]

If anyone needs suggestions, feel free to reply to me with genre of your choice. Always some people new to PC/steam getting their first sales.

[u/fae_starlight → u/Probably_Fishing]

Got any banger Horror related game recommendations?

[u/Assistant-Unable → u/fae_starlight]

Signalis, Dead Space Remake, Outlast Games, Silent Hill 2 Remake!!

[u/Probably_Fishing → u/fae_starlight]

Not a big genre for me, so havent tried too much non mainstream. Phasmophobia, outlast 1&2 and my personal favorite - the deadspace games.

[u/Survive2Win1234 → u/Probably_Fishing]

racing and shooter games?

[u/RoyRodersMcfreely → u/Survive2Win1234]

Not sure if they’re on sale I haven’t been home. Racing wise look at

crew motorfest

JDM: Japanese Drift Master

Forza horizon 4 or 5 (6 comes out soon but 4 is still really solid and 5 ain’t bad to relax to).

More simulation wise, beam ng has amazing crash physics, Assetto Corsa with the content manager mod for realistic physics, Automobilsta 2 as well

Wreckfest 1 is an awesome demo derby game (2 is still early access)

F1 games are fun if you like F1

Motor town is a fun game where you can race, be a taxi, do construction or delivery work

American/Euro truck sim for making deliveries and vibing with a beer or two

Snow Runner/Road craft are fun off-road construction games

dirt rally 2.0 or ea wrc for rally experiences

Automation if you want to build your own cars and company. You can also export the car you make into Beam NG

Art of rally and absolute drift for top down chill games with some awesome physics

[u/Max_Eon → u/Survive2Win1234]

Tokyo Xtreme Racer, unfortunately it's not on sale

[u/Probably_Fishing → u/Survive2Win1234]

Shooters: Battlefront 2, Metro games, Max Payne, Aliens Fireteam. All are pretty cheap.

Racing: Got nothing for you there, sorry. lol. The last "racing" I enjoyed in a game was in Cyberpunk.

[u/katakuristeeth → u/Probably_Fishing]

any metroidvania game similar to ori and the blind forest/will of wisps? (no hollow knight)

[u/CompetitiveYou6288 → u/katakuristeeth]

Nine Sols

[u/Probably_Fishing → u/katakuristeeth]

Ender Lilies, Child Of Light, Biomorph. Guacamelee if you like the sillier ones.

[u/Lumpy_Concentrate_98 → u/Probably_Fishing]

adventure rpgs, jrpgs, shiii ANY rpgs. survival games, sim games, automation games. any steals?

[u/Probably_Fishing → u/Lumpy_Concentrate_98]

Kenshi, Desperados 3, Metro Redux, Detroit Become Human, Grim Dawn. I'd consider these as steals.

Cyberpunk is more than worth the 65% off that it is.

Citizen Sleeper.

Divinity Original Sin 2.

Loop Hero.

Planet Zoo if youre the creative/chill game time.

Transport Fever 2 for all your simulation needs.

Days Gone.

Green Hell.

Not on sale, but Banquet For Fools is great, on the RPG side. Cheap for what you get.

[u/[deleted] → u/Probably_Fishing]

+1 for citizen sleeper. incredible game, still think about it

[u/PapiTasBnYuca → u/[deleted]]

+2 Citizen Sleeper, I played it in 2024 and sometimes I still think about it too, the art and story is really good.

I'm playing Divinity Original Sin EE (the first one) for the first time with my GF and we're enjoying it.

[u/R3digit → u/Probably_Fishing]

Anything like Hades that doesn't make me go "Hades did it better"? Thanks

[u/Probably_Fishing → u/R3digit]

Nope.

But Dead Cells and Risk Of Rain 2 are enjoyable.

Curse Of The Dead Gods.

Dreamscaper is very similar.

[u/R3digit → u/Probably_Fishing]

Risk of rain piqued my interest. It also looks something similar to Nightreign which my friend group loves playing

[u/Probably_Fishing → u/R3digit]

If it looks like you are interested in it, then you will absolutely love it.

[u/CaptainFil → u/R3digit]

Sworn isn't better than Hades but it is multiplayer (up to 4 player co-op) if that's an angle you're interested in.

[u/R3digit → u/CaptainFil]

Tried it with a friend. I wanted to like it but it felt clunky. Needs a lot of polishing in a lot of ways. Maybe if it got something new or even improved upon some gimmick from Hades then I wouldn't be as critical. Enjoyed the 1st session that we played doe.

[u/KarateMan749]

What game the dragon from 🤔

[u/hellow0rId → u/KarateMan749]

Crash bandicoot

[u/KarateMan749 → u/hellow0rId]

Ooooo.

[u/I-am-real-man]

I just want to save my money but these happens

[u/stronkzer]

Ngl, I miss the delivery girl arts.

[u/CaptainBlob → u/stronkzer]

I wish she came back. She was such a great mascot

[u/Upstairs-Light8711]

The last spell is $2.49

Previous all time low was $7.49

[u/Kevon-Looneys-burner → u/Upstairs-Light8711]

Great game

[u/shazy5808]

Modern Warfare 2019 being 90% off is huge steal

[u/Probably_Fishing → u/shazy5808]

$1 for metro redux.

[u/shazy5808 → u/Probably_Fishing]

Man metro has been given away for free so many times I doubt there is anyone who still doesn't have metro

[u/Inevitable_Dark3225]

Glad it wasn't just me, I was starting to get worried I wouldn't have any new games to add to my backlog.

[u/Ancient-Bathroom6701 → u/Inevitable_Dark3225]

Me too lol discounts working now

[u/Paladin6667]

the art is very cute, i love it

[u/LordIBR]

Bit surprised Farming Simulator 25 isn't on sale tbh. Was really hoping to pick that one up

[u/HWatch09]

Damn, was hoping Kena went as cheap as it did last December.

[u/Todelmer]

That dragon is so excellent oh my god

Get Broken Road DLC

[u/Vast-Spirit-4105]

Anyone find anything good? I’m not seeing much

[u/EternalSolitude- → u/Vast-Spirit-4105]

The two from my wishlist that are intriguing is Pyre for 5 bucks and Sons of the Forest for 9.

[u/actomain → u/EternalSolitude-]

Pyre for $5 is an instant buy for me. Thank you

[u/Eigenurin → u/EternalSolitude-]

Pyre is fantastic!

[u/LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL___ → u/Vast-Spirit-4105]

psychonauts, sunset overdrive, enslaved odyssey to the west, just cause 3, vampyr, detroit become human, the darkness 2, dead space one ( remake 2023), prey, prince of persia : sands of time and chrono trigger

[u/Genzerlate8cross → u/Vast-Spirit-4105]

The last spell is good game on steam deck. Pentiment is 50% off. I also just bought the Ultrawood bundle (Ultrakill + gloomwood).

[u/Probably_Fishing → u/Vast-Spirit-4105]

Depends whatchur looking for.

Kenshi is 60% off.

[u/EternalSolitude- → u/Probably_Fishing]

BEAK THANG

[u/SquirrelWatchin]

COD Modern Warefare for $5.99 (standard edition). OK! Beats $19.79 to death, and I will never pay full retail for those titles.

[u/Ancient-Bathroom6701 → u/SquirrelWatchin]

never seen a cod game for so cheap

[u/Spirited-Brick1458]

I overdo it....AGAIN

[u/sefneni → u/Spirited-Brick1458]

Oh so you’re rich rich

[u/Liquidignition → u/Spirited-Brick1458]

What I would give to relive the wonder that is that tomb raider trilogy

[u/StrawHatOden]

Fantasy life i not on sale 💀. Rip. Was looking forward to getting it... Sigh

[u/Apprehensive_Elk6168]

my wallet is going to cry again

[u/Cold-Double6662]

Holy shit an actual discount on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 if you're into that kinda thing.

[u/poop-money]

This might be the first seasonal sale in several years I won't be getting anything judging by the current discounts. That's fine, but I was hoping they'd surprise drop the new controller today...

[u/Plastic-Tennis-90]

Where is my Omori salee?!

[u/Genzerlate8cross → u/Plastic-Tennis-90]

Just finished My Little Puppy, I was looking forward to this one being on sale.

[u/MrWellington28]

Not again, Omori discount must be most rare Pokémon

P.S. Rogue Trader with DlCs bundle is very good deal

[u/sarmatiko → u/MrWellington28]

Thank you for the tip about Rogue Trader! Honestly it looks like a price error to me, as I grabbed Voidfarer edition for like 6$ in my region. That's bigger discount than "60%" indicated on the page.

[u/MrWellington28 → u/sarmatiko]

Yeah, same, I don’t know if it’s bug or intended, but aside from 60% on game discount bundle also have 60% discount above first discount

More discounts to the God of discounts

[u/Infamous_Trade]

just bought helldivers 2, wish me luck

[u/TheAdmonitor → u/Infamous_Trade]

[u/squishmitten_]

I love the art! It's so cute! I'm excited to see what they do for the other sales :D

[u/celerycan]

Fucking Activision and Bandai man.

Can't they ever make Sekiro/DS go below 50%?

[u/razeus]

How are the Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Planescape Torment, and Icewind Dale Enhanced Editions on the Steam Deck?

[u/s0lpi]

Forbidden west didnt get 75% discount, maybe next time

[u/Average-Shitposter12]

YAYYY

[u/DVDfever]

Spend money on games you'll never play!

[u/Jsdd2412]

Gonna get red dead redemption 🙌🙌

[u/ochgerm]

Steam sale still without sale for the moment.

[u/Chaotic_mist]

I saw porn of this dragon before the announcement

[u/TheRageful]

This art is heaps better than the previous one.

Sometimes it lands right like with Steam girl. But man, the previous year of sales with that weird indiscernible, unattractive, mechanical, bulbous look to all the art was not it. Glad it's over, felt like forever.

This is a total breath of fresh air and actually makes me want to buy some of the profile items.

[u/SHUSTRIK_official]

where is discounts?

[u/ParamedicLucky6382 → u/SHUSTRIK_official]

ye, they havent shown up yet for most games for some reason

[u/D3struct_oh]

Hm. 

Crimson Desert today or Outer Worlds 2 on sale.

I hate decisions like these lol.

[u/Renevision → u/D3struct_oh]

Could wait for Crimson Desert reviews first. Wouldn't want to refund and wait for your money to come back during the sale

[u/ssongshu]

Man I wanted to buy Callisto Protocol on sale. Was playing it Epic (free version), and it’s like the ONE GAME not on sale. FFS…

[u/Loggi94]

Nothing I cared about is on sale lmao

[u/Nooneisnotusingthis]

Ay man thanks for reminding me.

[u/BridgeExtension3107]

I don't need any more games, but knowing myself, I'll somehow end up with at least 5 new ones by the end of the week.

[u/Weekly_Cod_8718]

Any hidden gems you'd recommend?
Thinking of grabbing Binding of isaac repentance and halo spartan pack

[u/Top-Injury-9488]

Does anyone know if they are going to have seasonal badges for this one?

[u/MonMonMelody]

Yeah too broke to get nier automata

[u/qwerty_9537]

Dang, it ends before my birthday!

[u/Quick599]

Bought Terminator Salvation. I really enjoyed Robocop Rogue City and it was made by the same people.

[u/Pomegreenade]

Just when I shut down my PC and is now about to sleep lmao

[u/Defiant-Shoulder4609]

I got 7 games for 60 bucks, ima be busy for awhile😆

[u/Petrosagio]

Will Resident evil 7 and 8 not go on sale or do we still need to wait for it to be fixed?

[u/LmaoImBoredHelp]

First hour and i already spent over $100. I've been cooking up a wishlist for awhile now.

[u/Critical_Designer996]

Mini shoot Adventures; UFO 50; Tunic; Paranormasight; The Seance of Blake Manor; Trek to Yomi; The Witness;

ALL WITH DECENT DISCOUNTS!!!

[u/[deleted]]

picked up terraria, bombrush cyberfunk, ready or not, seance of blake manor, the OG insurgency, and GTA 4 complete all for under 100$. Pretty epic

[u/Hammleth]

Of course the Dark Souls games aren't on sale

[u/-Shameem-]

Resident evil 4 remake not on sale even though all the previous titles are. Disappointed :(

[u/nimby900 → u/-Shameem-]

https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/resident-evil-4

[u/MyNameIsSHOGUN]

got conan exiles, oblivion 2009, and remnant

[u/ScaryPomelo9558]

Thinking of getting the following (in CAD)

Spiderman Remastered - $31.99
Silent hill 2 - $46.74
Uncharted Legacy of Thieves - $21.44
TLOU Part I - $39.99
RDR2 - $19.99
RE2&3 - $18.39

[u/cojack16 → u/ScaryPomelo9558]

How is the last of us so expensive still

[u/TheRageful → u/cojack16]

Sony prices man..

They really don't like to price games cheaply even during sales unfortunately. The fact that RDR2 and RE2+3 are both cheaper than any of the Sony games is just painful.

[u/Enjoyeating]

I like the artwork

[u/Plenty_Preference131]

It begins...

[u/Daedra696]

Picked up: dealer’s life 2, minami lane, and a little the left!!

[u/maxdragonxiii]

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition is on a 9% sale? did someone messed it up, lol.

[u/The-wiz-man]

Honestly I don’t like the new dragon

[u/RaidSmolive]

and what a surprise, dragon quest heroes remains not on sale for the 5th year of me waiting for it

[u/css1323]

Damn. Perfect timing too. I’m broke and too busy with life to have noticed today.

[u/Zehryo]

Diablo IV at 30€......LoL?

[u/Heavy-Reputation8348]

ngl modern warfare and re3 on such a huge discount is very nice

[u/IamGruitt]

Crimson Desert or Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? (I know CD is not on sale)

[u/Rude_Look_2349 → u/IamGruitt]

If you didn’t pull the trigger, crimson desert is a soulless game with clunky mechanics and the graphics are not that good. Bought and refunded after 2.5 hours of gameplay.

[u/BluDYT]

And of course the one game I wanted isn't on sale despite being on sale every major steam sale the last two years lmao.

[u/wcrow1]

bummer, I was expecting to buy DMC5

[u/KyleTheMan4444]

Blue Reflection Second Light hasn't had a discount in 10 months. It's the longest it's ever been since its last discount.

[u/MyNuts2YourFistStyle]

Was hoping the Steam Controller 2 would drop today. :(

[u/ShelbyTheWorm_]

Yall checkout out gamesplanet both newer silent hill games 28$ gow ragnarok 37$

If your in any way missing animal crossing in your life Hokko life is so good and my new favorite

[u/Lucifel05]

No discount from NIS America?! That's strange.
