Steam Discounts 2026 — Games on Sale Now

This page lists all current Steam discounts — from small weekly deals to massive seasonal sales with discounts up to 100%. The catalog updates automatically and currently shows 12983 games on sale. Use filters by genre, discount size, and price to quickly find the game you are looking for among thousands of offers.

How Steam Discounts Work

Discounts on Steam are set by game publishers and developers. Valve provides them with flexible pricing tools: they can set a discount percentage, establish a minimum price, or participate in themed festivals. Current Steam discounts fall into several categories:

• Weekly deals — every Monday, Steam refreshes a selection of games with temporary discounts that typically last 7 days
• Publisher sales — major publishers (Ubisoft, EA, Capcom, and others) periodically hold catalog-wide sales with discounts up to 90%
• Themed festivals — Steam hosts dozens of festivals each year: horror fests, shooter fests, RPG fests, and more. Games matching the theme receive special discounts
• Seasonal sales — the four biggest events of the year: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Steam Sale. Prices are fixed for the entire period and reach the highest discount levels

Free Games on Steam

Steam offers thousands of free games — from major titles like Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, and Team Fortress 2 to smaller indie projects. You can find free Steam games using the "Free" filter in our catalog. In addition to permanently free titles, Steam periodically gives away paid games for free — these promotions usually last a few days, and once added to your library, the game is yours to keep forever.

There are also Free Weekends — temporary free access to paid games over the weekend. This is a great way to try a game before buying. If you enjoy it, you can usually purchase it at a discount that runs alongside the Free Weekend event.

Finding Cheap Games on Steam

The same game can cost much less in a different region — open any game page in our catalog to compare prices across all regions and see the difference.

Several ways to find cheap Steam games:

• Sort the catalog by price — the cheapest deals will appear at the top
• Use the "Under $5" or "Under $10" filters to stay within your budget
• Look for 75%+ discounts — these are usually the best deals available
• Compare regional prices on each game's page — the difference can be 30-50%

How to Buy Steam Games Cheaper

To buy in a different region, you need to top up your Steam wallet in the corresponding currency. Our website has a rating of top-up services where we compare 50+ services by fees and payment convenience. The most popular regions for savings are Turkey (TRY), Kazakhstan (KZT), and Brazil (BRL).

Also look into bundles — Steam allows publishers to sell multiple games as a package at a reduced price. If you already own some games in the bundle, the discount is recalculated automatically. This is especially worthwhile for game series, where the bundle discount can exceed individual game discounts.

Steam Sale Schedule 2026

In 2026, four major seasonal sales and dozens of themed festivals are planned. During seasonal sales, nearly every game in the store participates — it is the best time to buy. Check the full Steam Sales Schedule 2026 to plan your purchases in advance.

There are also great deals between the big sales. Weekly deals refresh every Monday, and festivals run roughly every 2-3 weeks. Add games you are interested in to your wishlist — Steam will send you an email notification when they go on sale.

Filters and Sorting

The catalog has several tools to narrow down the search:

• Discount filter — choose a minimum discount percentage: 25%, 50%, 75%, or 90%+
• Price filter — set a maximum price: Under $5, Under $10, Under $20, or Under $50
• Genre filter — select a genre from the list of popular categories
• Search — type a game name for a quick lookup
• Sorting — by name, discount percentage, price, Metacritic rating, or popularity (review count)

Open a game page to see all the details: description, developer, genres, Metacritic score, and most importantly — price comparison across all Steam regions converted to your currency at the current Steam exchange rate.
