The Steam Spring Sale 2025 event is almost here, promising to offer some great discounts for games, ranging from the biggest AAA blockbusters to hidden gems from independent developers. Regardless of what kind of games you like to play, there’s likely to be some significant savings for you to pick up, so you’ll want to know exactly where the sale goes live in your time zone.
In terms of what to expect from the Steam Spring Sale 2025 event, well, I’m hoping for some discounts for some games I missed out on last year, like Metaphor ReFantazio, and the Silent Hill 2 remake. In fact, I’m expecting to see discounts on at least a few of the titles featured on our best Steam games list, and hopefully some surprises as well.

Steam Spring Sale 2025 predictions – what games do we think will be cheaper?
While Valve is yet to reveal the full list of what games will be discounted during the Steam Spring Sale 2025, there are a few titles that I’m hoping to see. Generally, the Steam Spring sale features sales on big games from the previous year. In 2024, I missed out on Metaphor Re:Fantazio, so would love the opportunity to pick it up this time around. Similarly, while I enjoyed Diablo 4 a lot back in 2023, I never found the time for the Vessel of Hatred DLC. Others on the TechRadar Gaming team praised its new Spiritborn class, so I’d certainly love to see it pop up in the upcoming sales.
Over on the indie side, it’d be great to see Neva offered up at a cheaper price, mostly because it’s brilliant and I want more people to show it some love. Similarly, Thank Goodness You’re Here! is one that’d be a great pick for the Steam Spring Sale. It’s the funniest game I’ve ever played, and more people should play it. For Steam Deck players, it’d be great to see discounts on some of the games on our best Steam Deck games list, such as Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree and God of War.
