The Steam Spring Sale start times around the world are 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET/5 p.m. GMT on March 16. Keep in mind that clocks in the US are now in summer time-saving mode, so whereas this would normally be 6 p.m. for UK Steam users, it's been effectively moved up an hour by the US clocks going forward.

Happy Birthday Steam Deck! In celebration of a successful first year (of many more to come!) Steam Deck is 10% off from now until the end of the Steam Spring Sale on March 23 at 10am Pacific.

I've had my eye on Nier Automata. I'm currently watching the anime and really enjoying it. I once tried the game and the first tutorial boss made me rage quit. Should I give the game another try (is the entire game that hard?!) or should I just continue watching the anime? I see that the game doesn't seem to go on sale that often...

Me every Steam Sale

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

Im actually surprised at how lame this sale seems to be.

 

[AV]

Cool, picked up Dusk, been meaning to try it out.

 

[spons]

Holy shit, 10% off the Deck.

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

Oh! Good job, its one of - if not the - best fps of the last decade imho. As you progress the level design goes well beyond anything I have ever seen before or since in an fps.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I am afraid the discounts are not high enough to encourage an impulse purchase from most in this economy.

Especially if you have played something on Game Pass or PS+. My double dipping days are over for now.

Danganrompa collection for $25 - worth it or nay?

I mean ... it's not like it gets easier than the tutorial.

 

[Holammer]

Some of the games I have my eyes on, all very high user scores. Cheapest price yet on Cult of the Lamb.

 

[poodaddy]

My daughter loves her Deck, and I must admit I kinda want one now too lol, but 10 percent off isn't quite enough for me yet. Once it gets to the 25% realm, I'll grab me one. For now, I'll just play my daughter's when she's on her Switch or Xbox lol.

 

[Kacho]

Weak sale if I'm being honest.

 

[Sentenza]

Weak sale if I'm being honest.

Every sale is a weak sale when you already bought every game you actually wanted in the past 10 years.

It's not the games, it's the percentage. Everything I'm interested in is like 35% off at best.

Picked up Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order deluxe for 5 bucks. I've been wanting to try it, I love the old Jedi Knight games though I don't think this will be too much like them. Otherwise not seeing much.

So overrated.

 

[Saber]

I dunno if its supposed to be serious or not, but 10% is a pretty low discount.

 

[Pejo]

If you're buying the 512 model it's $65 US, that's not nothing.

 

[Mowcno]

Not for hardware. This would be like dropping the PS5 to $449 for a week. It's significant.

 

[Nico_D]

How good is Farthest Frontier? Is there any endgame?

It’s the same song and dance in every Steam sale thread.

It's not the games, it's the percentage. Everything I'm interested in is like 35% off at best.

Then buy it off a third party site. Valve doesn’t set the prices.

Cult of the Lamb is a great game but I feel like it's kinda misleading for it to be touted as a roguelite so much. There's just not much replayability imo. I'm sure you've seen gameplay though and if you like what you see, you'll have a good time.

 

[ChoosableOne]

I bought these so far;

Fallout 1-2 style combat, 81 metacritic score. It looks rough though.

Isometric shooter from Returnal dev Housemarque. 84 PC metacritic score(88 for ps4).

WEIRD adventure game, has lots of fans.

 

[Ozriel]

$359 for a Steamdeck is actually a spectacular deal. The 64GB version is the sweet spot...pick up a 256GB SSD from Amazon for cheap and swap it in.


Almost tempted to pick one up for my brother as a gift.

 

[Power Pro]

I really feel like I need to buy a PC game or two....I bought and built this PC last September, and spent...maybe $1500 on all the parts, and I've BARELY used it for gaming. I need some cool single player games, but I always end up just playing on consoles. Admittedly I've always been more of a console gamer, but geez...I hate that I wasted money on something I never use.

I wish I had a brother like you...

 

[Pejo]

Well, maybe it's time my Wishlist and I had a "come to Jesus" meeting tonight. I just keep adding stuff to it with no intention to buy most of the games unless they're 5-10 bucks, and without flash sales there just isn't much hope of that these days, especially from bigger publishers. SE has all of those A/AA games they made in the past few years, and they seem determined not to let them drop below $30. I'd jump in at $20 for like Star Ocean, Harvestella/Valkyrie Elysium/Tactics Ogre etc.

Still pisses me off that Valkyrie Elysium straight up didn't give us the remaster of Lenneth, and you can only get it on Playstation.

 

[Leonidas]

Steam Deck is tempting me...

Didn't say it was nothing, just low. But I get what you said, yeah.

That's exactly how my wishlist operates, lol. Waiting for the magical 5-10 USD.

 

[Banjo64]

£314 is unbelievable.

 

[BlakeofT]

Danganrompa collection for $25 - worth it or nay?

I played through the first one and couldn't put it down. It's the reason I keep trying (and usually don't click with) other VN games. Never played much of 2 and none of 3. 2 was very similar to the first game, just never had time to really sit down and play it.

 

[yet_another_alt]

Probably one of my favorites but you're going to be in for a rude awakening if you've only been playing the genre casually.

Then buy it off a third party site. Valve doesn’t set the prices.

I already do. The only things that I've bought directly from Steam in the past few years are DLCs which are not available from third parties.

I stand by my statement that steam sales suck overall lately but there is actually a good one that might be a pricing error since it's not in third party resellers.

The bundle is a whooping 91% off and is cheaper than the base game by itself that's pictured in the link here. It doesn't include the yet to be released season 2 but it's still a nice deal.

EDIT: Too late now. They fixed the pricing error.

 

[ClosBSAS]

Damn some good offers. Gonna get me that Arkham knight shit, some half life alyx and refund my forspoken at full price and buy at 33% off

 

[Umbasaborne]

This is my first steam spring sale, and damn im overwhelmed by choice! I played many of these games on consoles, but id love to see them maxed out on my 4090 rig

Truly your first sale is always the best sale. You'll see the really great deals that most people on steam for a while will have already purchased. Nothing feels as good as those sub $5 AAA games from previous gens, if you have interest in them.

Don't forget to check sites like gg.deals and isthereanydeal.com to see what comparative historical lows were on the game prices. It's less of a problem since Steam stopped allowing people to drastically raise their game's price before a sale and then deep discount it for the usual/actual price.

 

[Holammer]

Grabbed some games sorted by high user ratings. Instead of scraping the 75-80% barrel.
Dave the Diver is still in a very successful Early Access, so 20% off is plenty.

 

[VN1X]

Only bought ADACA so far which. I enjoyed the demo when I last played that, hope it's good!

Warm snow and kingdoms and castles so far for me:

I will also be getting:

Seems like a new deal.
