The best PC games to buy right now

Steam’s summer sale is finally here, and with it, huge discounts on everything from major triple-A releases to niche indie titles. Typically, the sale will run for about two weeks, giving you plenty of time to grab any deals you're interested in before they're gone.

That said, with hundreds of games on sale, it can be difficult to track down all the good deals, especially if they weren't already on your wish list. For that reason, we've compiled a list of some of the best deals you'll find at one of the best sales of the year!

The Steam Summer Sale ends July 9, 2026, 10 a.m. PT, So be sure to grab any deals you're looking at first!

Resident Evil requests

$55.99 $69.99

Grace meets the girl in Resident Evil Requiem.

20 percent off might not be the best deal on this list, but given that the game is only six months old, it's still a pretty crazy deal. This is only the second time the game has gone on sale on Steam since its release, the first being as part of Capcom's own discount event earlier this month, so I don't expect to see it this low anytime soon.

This list contains games Listed in order of current price at time of saleDiscount percentage or whether one game is better than another.

While it didn't beat out Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at the 2025 Game Awards, this GOTY nominee still earned its spot among the best of 2025, and now you can get it for more than half its original launch price.
