It all looks like it’s exploding in wildfires or indifferent politicians, but at least you can get it right now bognax 50% off Steam Summer Sale, which started yesterday and will run through July 7 at 1 PM ET.

Selling knocks a lot of money Thousands of games—Most of them have been discounted at 20-50%, although some have seen their prices drop by more than 80% (such as very eh NBA 2K22, which is currently $9.59 and was originally $59.99 (lol). The games included in the sale are also varied. You can get anything from $60 for a triple title to some classic indie game you’ve been interested in for years but haven’t been buying around, all for a solid discount.

If that choice and opportunity seems overwhelming, it’s because it is. But there are easy ways to get out of the chase and find the games you want, nothing more, nothing less. Discounted trending titles like Sekiro: Shadows die twice (Now $29.99, 50% off) and Red Dead Redemption II (Also $29.99, also 50% off) They are handily distributed across the top of the Steam homepage to maximize your purchase, although you can also spend your time learning about the genre’s categories and useful themes for the homepage. You can extract these categories further with Steam’s myriad filters, which include price and even specialized moods like “atmospheric” or “medieval.”

However, I understand that you may be busy tweeting anxiously about ‘community’. I was there; I live in a community too. I’d love to help you find the cream de la Steam, so here are some great titles with sales worth knowing about:
