The best deals in the 2025 Steam Autumn Sale

Balatro | $13.49 (10% off) | 🏆 Game of the Year 2024 | Steam
A roguelike deckbuilder phenomenon and our 2024 GOTY. Slightly more expensive than it was in the Spring Sale.

Helldivers 2 | $31.99 (20% off) | 🏆 Best Multiplayer 2024 | Steam
The typical discount for Helldivers 2. The hype has died down, but it remains one of our favorite co-op shooters, and the latest big update has sparked a resurgence in popularity, despite technical troubles.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl | $41.99 (30% off) | 🏆 Spirit of the PC 2024 | Steam
Stalker 2 was worth the wait. “It might be shinier and it might have gamepad support, but Stalker 2 is still Stalker down to its bones,” said Josh in his review.

Caves of Qud | $25.49 (15% off) 🔺| 🏆 Best Roguelike 2024 | Steam
Many years in the making, Caves of Qud is a sensational and delightfully weird RPG that Jon called “a genre-defining achievement in play, story, and roleplaying freedom” in his review.

Metaphor: ReFantazio | $38.49 (45% off) 💸 | 🏆 Best RPG 2024 | Steam
This is the lowest price yet for one of our favorite recent RPGs. “Metaphor is the best game I’ve played all year. Though not strictly speaking part of the Persona series, it’s also the best Persona game,” Fraser said when we awarded it Best RPG 2024.

UFO 50 | $18.74 (25% off) 💸 | 🏆 Creative Achievement 2024 | Steam
A collection of 50 classic games from a defunct—and entirely made-up—developer of 8-bit games. UFO 50 is a collaborative project by six indie devs, including Spelunky creator Derek Yu.

Manor Lords | $25.99 (35% off) | 🏆 Best City Builder 2024 | Steam
It’s still in early access, but that didn’t stop us from calling Manor Lords the best city builder of last year.

Pacific Drive | $14.99 (50% off) | 🏆 Best Survival Game 2024 | Steam
Discover what station wagon owners have known all along: that a car can be your best friend. Chris loved this supernatural survival roadtrip, and declared its car “one of the best vehicles in videogames, ever.”

Tactical Breach Wizards | $13.99 (30% off) | 🏆 Best Tactics 2024 | Steam
Use magic, but tactically in the latest from Gunpoint creator (and PC Gamer alum) Tom Francis. “Of all of the games Tom Francis has made about throwing people out of windows, this is the best one,” Jake said.

Thank Goodness You’re Here! | $11.99 (40% off) 💸 | 🏆 Best Comedy 2024 | Steam
“The funniest game I’ve played,” Fraser said in his review, and Fraser has played a lot of games, and I imagine quite a lot them have also been funny, which tells you this one ought to be pretty funny.

Satisfactory | $27.99 (30% off) | 🏆 Best Sandbox 2024 | Steam
This automation game has been one of our favorites for years. The base price increased when it left early access in 2024, so this isn’t the lowest price it’s ever hit, but it’s probably as low as it’ll go in the near future.

Peak | $6.39 (20% off) 💸 | Our review | Steam
Peak doesn’t cost much to begin with, so this 20% discount only knocks off a buck-sixty, but hey, less money is less money—pick it up four copies with friends and you’ll have collectively saved $6.40! Enough for a low-quality sandwich to share.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor | $9.09 (30% off) 💸| Our review | Steam
This Deep Rock spin-off is obviously another Vampire Survivors imitator, but one done very well: “Vampire Survivors is no longer the king of the genre,” Robin said in his review earlier this year.

Mouthwashing | $9.09 (30% off) 💸| Our review | Steam
One of the best horror games of 2024. “I played Mouthwashing entirely in one sitting back in October and had to lie down for a while afterward to recover,” Ted said in his review.

Lethal Company | $7.49 (25% off) 💸| Our coverage | Steam
A new low price for the co-op horror sensation from 2023, which got a big update in June which added a new monster, the Giant Sapsucker. Sounds pretty safe, it all it’s interested in is sap, right?

Sons of the Forest | $9.89 (67% off) 💸| Our coverage | Steam
A new low price for the popular follow-up to The Forest. Sons of the Forest drops you on a remote island full of cannibals, although Sarah had a pretty good time playing it with out the cannibals.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt | $7.99 (80% off) | 🏆 Best Singleplayer 2015 | Steam
The Witcher 3 is discounted often, but this is the lowest it generally goes for. Take the plunge: The water’s still warm even after The Witcher 3 turned 10 this year.

Control Ultimate Edition | $3.99 (90% off) |🏆 Best Setting 2019 | Steam
We’ve arguably got a bit of a soft spot for Remedy at PC Gamer, but I think I’m safe in saying that you’ll get your $4 worth and then some from Control. Remedy’s 2019 singleplayer action-adventure game is full of great SCP-style supernatural worldbuilding.

Civilization 6 | $5.99 (90% off)🔺| Steam
Civilization 7 released earlier this year, but a lot of Civ fans are sticking with Civ 6 (or Civ 5) for now, so you’re actually getting the currently most popular Civ game for $6 here. (It was just $3 in the last sale, and might hit that again for the Winter Sale.)
