As winter comes to a close,Steammarks the beginning of spring with yet another seasonal sale offering countless discounts across its catalog during the week-long Steam Spring Sale. While gamers can look forward to saving money as they work through their wishlists,Steam’s handheld console is also available at a reduced price to celebrate its first anniversary.
Although Valve first made a name for itself by developing games likeHalf-LifeandTeam Fortress, the company’s Steam digital storefront has dominated the PC gaming market and become a household name. Along with Steam’s robust community features, achievement systems, and early-access program, the store’s steady pace of generous sales attracts droves of gamers each time one comes around. While more targeted sales celebrate specific genres like theSteam Survival Festor specific franchises like the recentBatmansale, the main events tend to be its seasonal sales. In particular, the Steam Winter Sale and Summer Sale are massive events each year with special minigames and rewards to mark the occasion.

The Steam Spring sale has gone live and will run from March 16 to March 23, so it’s a bit shorter than the beginning and end-of-year sales, but the deals are no less impressive. In addition, gamers can claim stickers for their account once a day by browsing specific categories like Roleplaying, Cyberpunk, Co-Op, andOpen World games. Although a huge number of games are discounted, a few of the sale’s headliners includeGotham Knights,Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2which is 35% off.
Another highlight of this sale is a rarediscount on the Steam Deckwhich is celebrating its first birthday this month. All three versions of the Steam Deck are 10% off until the sale ends on March 23. It’s not a huge discount, but saving $64 on the 512GB Steam Deck gives gamers a chance to spend that money on adding a few compatible games to their libraries. Steam has included a showcase of the most popular games played on Steam Deck includingHogwarts Legacy,Vampire Survivors,Elden Ring, andHades. As part of the sale, some Steam Deck-compatible games are up to 90% off likeStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,Portal, and Left 4 Dead 2.
While many of these games can be expected to go on sale once again during theSteam Summer Saleand other events in the near future, discounts on the Steam Deck are hard to come by. Those looking to bring their libraries on the go should act quickly before the week is over.
