Valve continues to ramp up production of its popular Steam Deck, giving more customers a chance to get their hands on the unique handheld PC. The only thing more impressive than Steam Deck’s spec sheet is its library of supported games – which includes big names such as Hades, Disco Elysium, Elden Ring, Stardew Valley, and many, many more. Plus, a lot of great games that are playable on Steam Deck are heavily discounted until July 7 thanks to the Steam Summer Sale.
If you already have your Steam Deck in hand, or if you just want to build up a library before it arrives, we’ve rounded up the best Steam Deck game deals available during the Steam Summer Sale. Now your opportunity to stock up on games without breaking your budget. While a lot of these games are Steam Deck-verified or listed as playable with just minor quirks, there are some games on this list that haven’t been tested by Valve. But don’t worry, any game you find here that’s not officially verified has been tested by GameSpot. All of the games in this roundup are stellar on Steam Deck.
