Throughout the sale, users have access to a rolling selection of daily featured deals, special offers rotating every 12 hours, and a selection of three community-chosen games which collect votes every 24 hours. Games are available for a wide range of tastes, encompassing everything from intense action to meditative strategy, from gripping narratives to deep simulations.
At the time of this writing, games such as Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Civilization: Beyond Earth, and Rocksmith 2014 are available with discounts ranging from 33-percent to a whopping 85-percent off. Much like Steam’s infamous Summer Sale, the selection of available games will rotate continually until the sale ends, encouraging people to check back regularly.
You can get this fantastic PC game for $3 during the Steam Summer Sale
We're in the midst of the Steam Summer Sale this year, and Valve is doing something a bit different this time by creating a Featured Deep Discounts section. It highlights some of the best games discounted by 90% or more. While this narrows things down, you may still have some choice paralysis while deciding among the games included this year. If you're a fan of PC city builders or games that force players to make difficult choices, I'd recommend snatching up Frostpunk for just $3, which is a 90% discount.
Released in 2018, developer 11 bit Studios describes Frostpunk as "the first society survival game." It takes place in a postapocalyptic world, but it's desolate in a different way than most of them. Rather than having the sandy barren wastelands of Mad Max or Fallout, Frostpunk's world has frozen over, and the biggest threat to humanity is generating enough heat to survive and rebuild. It's a game about rebuilding society in this snowy postapocalypse, but that's easier said than done.

The Steam Deck is the cheapest its ever been in new sale
If you've ever wanted a Steam Deck, but didn't want to pay the exorbitant price, you can now get one for its cheapest price ever. Valve announced Monday that you can now get a 64GB or 512GB Steam Deck LCD model for 15% off until July 11.
This is an amazing deal if you've ever wanted to get into handheld gaming, as it puts the lowest-priced 64GB Steam Deck under $300 for the first time. It's normally $349, but you can get it for $297 during this deal. Meanwhile, the larger 512GB model, which comes with more and faster storage, a more durable display, and a Steam profile bundle, can be bought for $382 -- down from $449.
