Spring Has Come Early: The Mother of All Steam Sales Arrives Just in Time for Your Wallet

Is it actually spring? No. But do you actually need an excuse for a Steam sale? Also no! Yet here we are, with Valve’s platform exploding in discounts and deals last night, and non-Valve platforms following suit because, well, heyyyyyy money. It’s that magical time of year—or, well, whenever—when the gaming gods decide to shower us with discounts on some of our favorite titles. And if you’re a fan of MMOs (or MMO-adjacent games), you’re in for a treat. We’ve compiled a list of some of the more interesting deals we’ve seen, and we’d love for you to chime in with your own finds in the comments below!

MMO Deals Galore

Let’s start with The Elder Scrolls Online , which is currently offering one of the best bargains around. The base game plus the expansion Morrowind is just $2 , and if you’re interested in the entire game catalog, the Gold Road Bundle (which includes all past expansions) is down to $18 . If you’ve been sitting on the fence about joining the Tamrielic adventure, now’s the time to jump in!

Speaking of expansions, New World has seen a price drop as well. The version including the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion (Aeternum) is now $41.99 , while the expansion itself is available for $20 . If you already own New World and just want to add ROTAE to your collection, you’re in luck.

Guild Wars 2 is another MMO with a variety of sales, depending on which version you’re looking for. For new accounts, the $7.49 price for the Heart of Thorns and Path of Exile bundle is a steal. Meanwhile, End of Dragons and SOTW are also discounted, though the Janthir Wilds expansion remains untouched.

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail is on sale for $27.99 , despite ongoing review-bombing. Let’s hope the community calms down soon, but for now, it’s a great deal for fans of the MMORPG.

Speaking of new arrivals, Pantheon is on sale for $32 just a few months after its early access launch. If you’re curious about this ambitious project, this is a good opportunity to dip your toes in. Pax Dei’s early access pack is also under $25 , making it an attractive proposition for those eager to explore its world.

Indie Gems and Sandbox Adventures

Black Desert is a steal at $1 , and indie darling Project Gorgon is just $13 right now. Lost Ark’s founder packs are discounted, and Gamigo has put some of RIFT’s DLC on sale for half off. Mortal Online 2 is under $13 , while Elite Dangerous is only $6 . The Quinfall is just $8 , though the Steam page warns that the game hasn’t been updated in over a year—still, it’s Early Access, so who knows what the future holds?

Funcom is also getting in on the action with discounted Anarchy Online bundles. Ilysia, the Kickstarter-funded VR MMO, is $12 . World of Tanks has its premium month bundle on sale, and Wild Terra 2, which you might have forgotten about, is just $10 .

For fans of Westerns, Red Dead Redemption 2 is down to $15 , and the Steam version of Diablo IV is all the way down to $27.49 . Add the Vessel of Hatred bundle, and you’re looking at $42 . Temtem is just $12.59 , and Temtem Swarm is $8 . Book of Travels is 20% off, and Myth of Empires is down to $10.49 , with all its DLC on sale as well.

Classic and Sandbox Titles

Fallout 76 is just $10 , which is dangerously tempting. Foxhole is $20 , and Sea of Thieves is also $20 . Age of Water is down to $12 , and Conan Exiles is an absolute steal at $4 . Helldivers 2 is $32 , Palworld is $22.49 (25% off), and Craftopia is $15 . Survivalbox ASKA is $16.24 , Valheim is $10 , and Last Oasis is $10 —though beware, the game has that ominous “last update was over 2 years ago” warning. Bellwright, another Funcom title, is only 10% off.
