The Steam Autumn Sale 2026 runs from 1 to 8 October, ending at 7 pm in mainland France. A good sale selection should make you want to play what you buy. These ten picks cover different interests, from big solo adventures and co-op evenings to strategy and quieter breaks, with a mix of indie and big-budget games.

Steam France prices in euros: all ten offers match the lowest euro prices recorded on SteamDB at the time of the snapshot, though these discounts are not necessarily new. Prices are for the base games, without expansions or enhanced editions. Titles such as It Takes Two, Stardew Valley and Slay the Spire remain excellent games, but their current offers are less attractive than prices offered before, so other purchases take their place here.

1. Cyberpunk 2077 — a big RPG for your next few evenings

Cyberpunk 2077 cover art

Steam offer: €17.99 · −70 %.
Platforms: PC (Steam, Windows, macOS).

In Night City, you might handle a mission with a firefight, hacking or a quieter approach. Cyberpunk 2077 gives you reasons to stay in its world: districts, encounters and quests gradually reveal the city’s power struggles. Choose it if you want a substantial solo adventure and enjoy finding your own approach to missions as your skills and equipment develop.

At €17.99, the base game returns to its recorded euro low. The 70 % discount makes this RPG an accessible purchase, although the time you want to spend with it matters too. This price excludes Phantom Liberty: the standard version is a sensible starting point for discovering Night City, while an edition with the expansion is worth comparing if you already plan to play it. Check the current version’s system requirements as well.

2. Hades — a small budget for a game worth returning to

Steam offer: €6.12 · −75 %.
Platforms: PC (Steam, Windows, macOS).

A new weapon, an unexpected power, a combination that works better than you hoped: Hades keeps escape attempts fresh while maintaining the thread of its story. Conversations between runs give failed attempts a place in the narrative and develop your relationships with the characters. Its blend of fast combat and storytelling makes it a good purchase if you enjoy regular solo sessions and learning a little more each time.

The €6.12 price, with 75 % off, matches its recorded euro low. It is one of the most affordable games here, with appeal in both its changing runs and its story. This price has appeared before, so it is a favourable offer rather than a once-only opportunity. Pick it if retrying motivates you: it remains a demanding roguelite.

3. Deep Rock Galactic — a reason to organise regular co-op nights

Steam offer: €8.99 · −70 %.
Platforms: PC (Steam, Windows).

In Deep Rock Galactic, digging a tunnel, lighting a cavern or creating an access route can save a mission just as effectively as a well-placed shot. The four classes bring complementary tools to exploring destructible caves and making a pressured escape. It supports one to four players and is especially appealing to a group looking for a shared activity, with missions and situations that change between expeditions.

At €8.99 per copy, the 70 % discount matches its recorded euro low and makes buying as a group easier. Co-op is online, with each player needing a copy and a compatible computer. Solo play is available too, but this recommendation mainly rests on how the roles work together. Choose it because your group wants these expeditions, with the price helping everyone join in.

4. Outer Wilds — a discovery worth more than its discount percentage

Outer Wilds cover art

Steam offer: €11.49 · −50 %.
Platforms: PC (Steam, Windows).

In Outer Wilds, progress comes from understanding your surroundings. A place observed at the right moment, or two clues connected, can open a new lead in a solar system caught in a time loop. It suits players who enjoy exploring freely, testing ideas and making discoveries that change how they see the world. It offers a different kind of progression from continually finding stronger equipment.

The 50 % discount may look modest beside some offers here, but €11.49 does match its recorded euro low. The price covers the base game, without Echoes of the Eye. Its appeal is an adventure you uncover for yourself: if open-ended puzzles sound inviting, avoid detailed guides before starting so you can preserve the surprises.

5. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 — the pick for spectacular action

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 cover art

Steam offer: €14.99 · −75 %.
Platforms: PC (Steam, Windows).

Heavy weapons, close combat and enemies in numbers: Space Marine 2 builds its action around your character’s strength and the scale of its battles. This big-budget game suits players wanting more direct third-person action than the extended exploration of an RPG. Solo play and online co-op make it an option for both a personal adventure and sessions with a group.

The standard edition costs €14.99, a 75 % reduction matching its recorded euro low. That price has appeared before and offers a good entry point if this muscular action appeals to you. Compare the extras in more expensive editions with what you actually expect to use. System requirements matter, particularly when you want smooth group sessions as well as spectacle.

6. Terraria — a shared project for less than €5

Steam offer: €4.87 · −50 %.
Platforms: PC (Steam, Windows, macOS, Linux).

A base to expand, an underground area to explore, a boss to prepare for: Terraria lets you set very different goals in the same world. Exploration, crafting and combat support each other, whether you play solo or in online co-op. Its place here comes from that freedom: it suits players who want to return to their world regularly and decide on the next step together.

At €4.87, it is the cheapest game in this selection. The 50 % reduction matches its recorded euro low for one copy; the four-pack is a separate offer to compare if everyone in your group wants the game. That small price makes most sense if you enjoy experimenting and setting your own goals. The 2D view makes the world readable, but its systems still take time to learn.

7. Persona 3 Reload — a story to follow throughout autumn

Persona 3 Reload cover art

Steam offer: €17.99 · −70 %.
Platforms: PC (Steam, Windows).

Persona 3 Reload divides your time between planning your days, developing relationships and exploring the Dark Hour. Turn-based combat provides a different rhythm from Cyberpunk 2077, while its characters encourage you to return and see how the story develops. Consider it if you want a substantial solo Japanese RPG and intend to spend several weeks with one adventure.

The €17.99 price, with 70 % off, returns to its recorded euro low. It covers the base game and excludes the additional Episode Aigis content. It is an interesting entry point if the mix of daily life and exploration appeals to you. For something to finish quickly between other releases, the more compact experiences here will fit better.

8. Against the Storm — management that keeps your decisions fresh

Steam offer: €8.99 · −70 %.
Platforms: PC (Steam, Windows).

Building a settlement, organising production and keeping its inhabitants happy take a particular form in Against the Storm. Persistent rain, available resources and the buildings offered make you adapt your plans with each settlement. It combines city-building with roguelite progression: you move from one colony to the next while keeping upgrades. It suits management fans who enjoy tackling new problems rather than refining a single city indefinitely.

At €8.99, the 70 % reduction matches its recorded euro low. It is a good way to add strategy to your evenings without immediately buying the separately sold expansions. The base game already gives you production chains and trade-offs to learn. The appearance of its fantasy inhabitants can be deceptive: this solo management game asks you to think under pressure.

9. Unpacking — a quiet break with a story to tell

Steam offer: €7.99 · −60 %.
Platforms: PC (Steam, Windows, macOS, Linux).

Taking belongings out of boxes and finding places for them sounds ordinary. In Unpacking, it becomes both a small arrangement puzzle and a way to discover a life: objects kept, new spaces and things left behind offer clues about the character. With no combat or timer, this solo adventure provides a proper break between more intense games. It suits players who enjoy noticing details and letting a story emerge quietly.

At €7.99, with 60 % off, it returns to its recorded euro low. That makes it an appealing purchase for a self-contained experience, without committing to a long campaign or repeated runs. Its value lies in the care given to its scenes and what they tell you. Choose it for a few peaceful sessions; if you want a world to return to for months, Terraria fits that wish better.

10. Hardspace: Shipbreaker — the satisfaction of a carefully dismantled ship

Steam offer: €10.49 · −70 %.
Platforms: PC (Steam, Windows).

In Hardspace: Shipbreaker, a ship is first a structure to understand. You identify parts, choose your cuts and recover materials in zero gravity while avoiding accidents. This methodical work provides a different satisfaction from combat or construction: you learn a trade and become more confident with its tools. It is a good option if you want the sale to introduce you to an unusual simulation.

At €10.49, after 70 % off, it matches its recorded euro low. The purchase makes most sense if dismantling ships itself appeals to you, as contracts bring you back to that activity regularly. It is a solo game that requires attention to hazards. Choose Unpacking for relaxation without pressure; this offer suits a simulation where precision and growing mastery are the reward.

Which game should you buy for your budget and interests?

With less than €10, start with the activity you want: Hades for combat and fresh attempts, Deep Rock Galactic for team missions, Terraria for building and exploration, Against the Storm for management or Unpacking for a quieter story. These five games serve different interests, so you do not need to collect them all to benefit from the sale.

For a big solo adventure, choose Cyberpunk 2077 if you prefer action and exploration, or Persona 3 Reload for character relationships and turn-based battles. Outer Wilds suits curiosity and puzzles, Space Marine 2 spectacular action, and Hardspace: Shipbreaker the wish to learn a methodical activity.

Before checking out, confirm the price shown on your account, the edition and the system requirements. For co-op, make sure your partners want to join you too. These discounts have been offered before: a worthwhile purchase still comes down to what you want to play next.
