Praise the 2017 deals
For the “I’ll wait until it gets cheaper” gaming crowd, guess what? …You’ve won. The tidal wave of PC gaming discounts known as the Steam Summer Sale, and other summer sales, has now arrived as of Thursday. Thousands of games are on sale in all genres but for snobby deal hunters like ourselves, we’ll be pointing you to the actual good deals.
We’ve waded through the stacks of discounts from all retailers and come up with the best of the best from each sale. Beyond the big Steam sale, there’s notable offers from WinGameStore, GameStop, GamersGate, and Bundle Stars.
If you were holding out on Dark Souls III your best bet is at WinGameStore. There the base game, for the first time ever, is below $24 – now priced at $18.98 after coupon. For Dark Souls III Deluxe Edition, the best is at GamersGate’s sale where it is below the 50% off mark for the first time ever. Both deals beat Steam’s price by a good chunk.
GameStop is offering a good variety of discounts, especially on EA Origin titles along with Bethesda’s newly released The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind expansion. In fact, GameStop has gone significantly aggressive on Morrowind prices because they’re all hitting new lows with the upgrade being 25% off and the base game + Morrowind upgrade versions 33% off.
The Steam Sale hasn’t always been the same since daily deals are a bygone product, but this year’s Summer Sale we’re faced with some actual good deals, with the lowest price on oldies such as Portal 2, along with new titles such as Dishonored 2, Prey, NieR: Automata, and ARMA 3.
