The 2024 Steam Summer Sale ends on Thursday, July 11 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BT, so there's still time to make good on some seasonally slashed prices.
With 2023 being a blowout year for RPGs and 2024 doing a remarkable job maintaining that momentum, all flavors of role-playing have gotten some hefty discounts with this Steam sale, with many RPGs matching or beating their best-ever savings. I've pulled out 10, with a focus on RPGs, action RPGs, and a few JRPGs that came out this year or last year, or are timeless pillars of their genre. According to SteamDB, these are all offering best-ever discounts, so now's a great time to add them to your Steam library.
- Baldur's Gate 3 - 20% off at $47.99: Our 2023 GOTY, and one of the finest RPGs ever crafted. A true triumph of the medium and every discipline within it.
- Cyberpunk 2077 - 50% off at $29.99: CDPR officially has nobody working on this game, so if you were playing the long game on the "is it fixed yet" gambit, now's the time to jump in.
- Dragon's Dogma 2 - 20% off at $55.99: A great RPG trapped in a shoddy PC port which has become much less shoddy with patches.
- Disco Elysium: The Final Cut - 90% off at $3.99: A game so good that the doomed development of its not-sequels hurts more than ever today.
- Granblue Fantasy: Relink - 30% off at $41.99: Stylish combat featuring gorgeous characters and some frankly absurd bosses – easily in my top 10 games of the year so far.
- Monster Hunter World - 67% off at $9.89: There's no better way to brush up ahead of Monster Hunter Wilds, which is due next year and looks to be Monster Hunter World 2.
- Octopath Traveler 2 - 40% off at $35.99: Better than the original eight-protagonist JRPG, which set a pretty good pace to begin with, in every conceivable way.
- Persona 3 Reload - 30% off at $48.99: Rightly held up by many as a modern gold-standard for JRPG remakes.
- Star Ocean: The Second Story R - 30% off at $34.99: Rightly held up by many as a modern gold-standard for JRPG remakes which don't borrow from Persona 5 Royal.
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - 90% off at $3.99: The Steam sale staple, and quite possibly the best deal for dollars per hour of fun you'll find.
I'll also give a special mention to Elden Ring, currently 30% off at $41.99. This isn't the cheapest we've seen it, but it's only $6 more expensive than its record low, making it a solid deal if you want to join in on all the Shadow of the Erdtree fun (the DLC is of course $39.99 extra, and very worth it).
