The Steam Summer Sale 2026, one of the biggest sales events of the year for PC gamers, is finally live, offering discounts on thousands of games. We’re seeing deals offering up to 90% off, though, understandably, the biggest discounts are for older games. That said, it will be live until July 9 at 10 AM PT, so users have two whole weeks to enjoy the discounts.

If you’re a Steam Deck owner looking to try some new games on your handheld, this sale is the perfect opportunity. You can help you expand your game library without breaking the bank, with plenty of games listed for less than $10. While this may seem like a low budget, it can actually help you score some popular hits like Hollow Knight, The Witcher 3, Hades, and more.

In any case, below is our selection of the best Steam Deck Verified games available for under $10 in Steam’s Summer Sale. A few of them have dropped even lower than $5 during the sale.

You can also opt for Playable titles if you spot any good deals in the sale. However, those may require tweaks and adjustments for an optimal experience – whether it be performance or some other quirk.
