Why the Steam Summer Sale is a Big Deal
Think of the Steam Summer Sale as Black Friday specifically for PC games. It’s one of only two major platform-wide sales Steam hosts each year (the other is around the holidays), and it brings some of the steepest price cuts you’ll see. This year is no exception, with popular titles, indie darlings, and older gems all seeing significant discounts. We’ve sorted through the massive catalog to highlight some of the best savings available right now.
Standout Deals on Blockbusters
Some of the biggest and most talked-about games are seeing impressive price drops. This is your opportunity to catch up on titles you might have missed or finally dive into those lengthy adventures.
If you’re a fan of epic role-playing games, the highly-rated Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which just made its way to PC in January 2025, is a fantastic pick-up. You can snag this adventure for $41.99, a solid 40% off its usual $69.99 price. Combining the main story and side quests offers well over 100 hours of gameplay, making it a great value. If you haven’t played the previous game, the Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth bundle is also discounted.

Indie Gems and New Releases on Sale
It’s not just the huge games getting attention. The sale is a prime opportunity to discover critically acclaimed indie titles and even some newer releases from 2025.
While the discount is smaller, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, one of the highest-rated games of the year, is 10% off at $44.99. This might be the lowest price it sees for a while, so if you’ve been curious, now’s the time.
A few other notable 2025 indies on sale include R.E.P.O. ($7.99, 20% off), Schedule I ($13.99, 30% off), and Blue Prince ($25.49, 15% off). Blue Prince is praised for its unique puzzle gameplay, while Schedule I has been a popular title on Steam.

Beyond the Games: What Else is Happening?
Coinciding with the end of the Steam Summer Sale is another major retail event: Amazon Prime Day. While Prime Day (kicking off July 8) doesn’t typically focus on PC games themselves, it’s a fantastic time to look for deals on PC hardware.
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your gaming rig, need a new monitor, or want to grab some accessories like keyboards or headsets, keep an eye on Prime Day deals. It’s the perfect complement to the Steam sale – buy your games at a discount, then potentially find hardware deals to make them look and run their best.
