Steam Summer Sale commences, offering up to a 20% discount on the Steam Deck.

Steam Summer Sale offers discounts on popular games and Steam Deck.

Front page highlights of the Steam summer sale include significant discounts on popular games such as Hogwarts Legacy, Dredge, Boundary, and Starship Troopers: Extermination. Additionally, several games are available at half off, including The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, NieR: Automata, Hades, and Crusader Kings III.

One standout deal is Just Cause 3, which is currently priced at a remarkable 85 percent off, making it just $2.99. Despite being almost eight years old, this action-adventure game still offers an exhilarating experience. DiRT Rally 2.0 is also heavily discounted at $3.99, representing an 80 percent savings, while A Way Out from 2018 can be purchased for $5.99 with a similar 80 percent discount.

Looking ahead, Cities: Skylines II is set to release in October, but it will require a powerful gaming rig to run smoothly. If you haven't played the original game, now is a great time to do so as it is available for just $8.99 after a 70 percent instant price cut.

However, the most exciting aspect of the Steam summer sale for many gamers is the opportunity to save on a Steam Deck. The entry-level 64 GB eMMC model is currently 10 percent off, priced at $359.10. The 256 GB NVMe SSD variant is available for $449.65 after a 15 percent discount, and the top-tier 512 GB NVMe SSD model can be purchased for $519.20, representing a 20 percent savings. With these discounts, gamers can save nearly $130 on the high-end portable PC gaming device.

For those interested in other gaming platforms, GOG's summer sale is still ongoing for a few more days. Shoppers can take advantage of deep discounts before prices return to normal.

The Steam summer sale will continue until July 13 at 10 am Pacific time.
