The 2026 Steam Spring Sale is live now through March 26, with hundreds of discounts on some of the biggest indie and AAA games. You want award-winning hits? Niche RPGs? Classics you can get for a buck? Well, you're in luck. We've rounded up some of the biggest and best Steam Spring Sale deals below.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 impressed Polygon with its sensitive storytelling, mopped up all the major video game awards, and now it's headlining Steam's spring sale. Not for 33% off, unfortunately, but the 20% discount does drop the price down to $39.99. That includes Sandfall's free DLC that adds post-game challenges, photo mode, and a new map to explore as well.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Team Cherry's long-awaited sequel is the rare kind of a game that lived up to, and even exceeded, the massive amounts of hype surrounding it. Silksong does one better than Hollow Knight in almost every way. Combat is deeper and more strategic. Upgrades feel like they matter more. Every map is crammed with challenges, worthwhile secrets, and, occasionally, a surprise boss. The soundtrack is deeper and richer. It's just a good game, y'all, and the sale's 20% discount drops Silksong's price to $15.99.

If that's not enough Metroidvania for you, the excellent Nine Sols, with its Sekiro-like combat, is also on sale for 50% off ($14.99).

Arc Raiders

Embark Studios' hit extraction shooter Arc Raiders is 20% off, dropping the price from $39.99 to $31.99. Arc Raiders is the nice extraction shooter, the one where you're more likely to find people offer a friendly greeting (or at least not kill you on sight) and leave you to go on your merry way. Which leaves you free to explore the gigantic maps and knock out quests at your own pace. Embark is frequently adding more to the game via free updates, so expect more maps, challenges, and things to do as the months roll by.

Peak

Peak was a surprise standout among plenty of co-op competitors in 2025, and you can grab it for $4.95. The object is climbing a peak, which sounds easier than it is when A) you're a little noodle with limited physical capabilities and B) the mountain is loaded with obstacles and hazards. Despite being a co-op game, you can play Peak solo and still reach the top, but if you do play with friends, bear in mind Peak has no friend pass. Everyone who wants to play will have to own a copy of the game and run it on their own PC.

Silent Hill f

Silent Hill f, NeoBards' spin on Konami's horror series, is a brilliant deep-dive into the claustrophobia of small town life and the unrealistic expectations forced on young (and older) women. It's definitely a story-first game, unless you like clunky combat, but that story (penned by Higurashi and Umineko writer Ryukishi07) is worth putting up with beating creepy dolls to death multiple times for. During the sale, SIlent Hill f is 50% off ($34.99).

Octopath Traveler 0

If you like classic RPGs, slow-burn stories that explode (in a good way) after a few dozen hours, and seeing ridiculously high damage numbers pop up on screen, then Octopath Traveler 0 might be for you. For this version of the game, Square Enix excised the gacha elements from the mobile game Champions of the Continent, so you're left with all the good bits — town planning, excellent world building, deep party customization — and none of the annoying ones, like not getting characters you want. You can grab Octopath Traveler 0 for $37.49. There's also a free demo you can try if you're on the fence, and data from the completed demo transfers to the full game.

Maybe Metal Gear Solid 3 didn't need a remake, but it happened anyway, and it's pretty darn good. "Remake" is a bit loose here, since Delta is primarily a gussied-up remaster that sticks close to the original, which means it's still one of the best stealth games around. Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta is on sale for $39.99, but Konami's also offering a few bundles. Like one where you can get Delta and Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 for $57.37.
