Every summer, Valve holds a major annual sale on Steam. Significant sales are in the Spring, the Summer, the Autumn, and Winter. The summer sale started on June 29 and will last until July 13. However, with all the great deals, tracking the best uses of your money is hard. Here’s an overview of some of the best sales available during the 2023 Steam Summer Sale.
Ultrakill
Ultrakill is a fast and frenetic boomer shooter released in 2020. It’s currently still in early access, and more updates are set to release in the future. But it is easily one of the best first-person shooters on the market, with brilliantly-paced gameplay, an incredible soundtrack, and a fascinating story. It usually costs $25; however, it is available for $18.74 during the Steam Summer Sale. For more information, check out our official feature of everything Ultrakill offers.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is available on Steam for $30, 50% off its original price. The first-person shooter RPG was initially released in 2020 with several bugs and critical issues that were promised yet were missing from launch. However, over the last few years, the game has improved substantially with significant quality-of-life updates and patches that have made the game a more playable experience. With the upcoming expansion, Phantom Liberty, releasing in just a few months, there’s never been a better time to try the game, especially with such a significant discount.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Halo: The Master Chief Collection has, by far, one of the best discounts on Steam. Available for $10, the game features Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 4, Halo Reach, and Halo 3 ODST. Suppose you’ve never experienced one of the best gaming franchises in history. In that case, The Master Chief Collection is the best way to experience the franchise’s highlights and everything it offers.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is available on Steam for $39.89. The first part of the remake trilogy for Final Fantasy VII, Intergrade, features the Midgar segment from the original game and a DLC expansion dedicated to fan-favorite character Yuffie Kisaragi. With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth releasing in Early 2024, there is no better time to play the first part of the remaking of one of gaming’s most iconic titles.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is available on Steam for $40.19. Spider-Man is one of the most beloved superhero games of the last ten years, with the original game released in 2018. The follow-up, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, is also available on Steam for $33.49. If you want to experience the Spider-Man gaming franchise before Spider-Man 2 is released later this year, both Spider-Man: Remastered and Spider-Man: Miles Morales are the perfect games for you.
Steam Deck
The last significant discount is Steam’s major portable console, the Steam Deck. Initially released in 2022, it is the perfect way to play all your Steam games on the go. There are a few different versions that have been discounted:

Plus, if you need any games to play when you get the console, you’re in luck: all of the previous games on this list are playable on the Steam Deck. If you want to experience the best parts of the Steam lineup, the Steam Deck is more than worth your purchase.
