As the stars turn, so too do the deals, returning each year at their appointed time: The 2023 Steam Summer Sale hath arrivethed.
The Spring Sale a few months ago was a little early for big discounts on new 2023 releases, but with half the year gone, you'll actually find quite a few 2023 games discounted during the two-week-long Summer Sale, which ends on July 13. We've kicked off this list of recommendations with some of those new games, followed by discounts on our favorite games from last year, and then a selection of other favorites that you can grab for as little as a few bucks.
The Steam Deck is also on sale for just the second time, and at 20% off, Valve's handheld is the cheapest it's ever been.
For more recommendations, we recently compiled a list of great games that always get Steam sale discounts. If you miss this window to buy one of them, the next big seasonal Steam sale is the Autumn Sale, which starts in November.
