The best deals in the 2024 Steam Spring Sale

The first big Steam sale of the year is here. The Steam Spring Sale features the biggest discounts we've seen so far on some of our favorite 2023 games, and even a few smaller discounts on brand new games from this year—January mega-hit Palworld among them. 

Meanwhile, some of our older favorites are discounted to within an inch of being free: hit the bottom sections of this list for some of the best games you can get for under $25, $10, and $5.

The Steam Spring Sale runs through March 21. While you're deal hunting, check out Epic's Spring Sale, too—Alan Wake 2 is down to $40, and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a very generous 100% off.

For even more recommendations, we recently compiled a list of great games that always get Steam sale discounts, and you can check out guides to the best RPGs, best FPS games, best strategy games, and best survival games for even more inspiration.

Steam Spring Sale: The Best of 2023

Here's a selection of sales from last year's cream of the crop, including some of our 2023 GOTY Award winners. If you've been waiting for them to hit just the right discount, this sale might be the time, because a number of them are cheaper than they were in the Steam Winter Sale a few months ago. 

Steam Spring Sale: Under $25

Steam Spring Sale: Under $10

Steam Spring Sale: Under $5

Steam Spring Sale: 10 years of GOTY winners

Perhaps in anticipation of its upcoming DLC, Elden Ring is sadly not discounted in this sale. The rest of our last 10 Game of the Year winners are, though. Read about why these games are so special in our Game of the Year awards archive.
