Detective Fest kicked off yesterday on Steam, bringing discounts on hundreds of games. It mainly includes titles that are filled with mysteries and secrets. And if you own a Steam Deck and want to try some new games, this sale is a great opportunity.

Previously, we covered the best Steam Deck games that you can get for under $10 during the sale. However, if you’re on a really tight budget or simply want to cram in more games for less, then you can find plenty of titles listed for just under $3. Yes, this is a pretty low budget, but the sale can actually help you score titles that will provide a solid adventure.

Best Steam Deck games under $3 in the latest Detective Fest

With that said, here are the best Steam Deck games that you can get for under $3 during the ongoing Detective Fest. Do keep in mind that the sale will conclude on January 19, so make sure to grab whatever you want before then. Also, we made sure to select Verified games only, so you don’t have to play around with the settings to optimize performance.

If you’re interested in exploring more deals, then we recommend checking out different game bundles, as they can help you score a collection of titles for less. For instance, on Humble, you can find the Decked Out Collection, which offers 7 Steam Deck games worth $130 for only $12. Fanatical also has the Pedal to the Metal bundle, which comes packed with 13 Steam Deck-compatible titles. It’s also worth noting that Valve recently confirmed that Steam Deck Verified games will be verified on the Steam Machine, too.
