The Steam Spring Sale is finally here, bringing discounts on hundreds of games. This is one of the year’s largest sales events, and it’s a great opportunity to expand your game library without feeling like you have to overspend. And if you own a Steam Deck and are looking to try some new games on your handheld, there are plenty of Verified games available at discounted prices.

Best Steam Deck games under $5 in the latest Spring Sale

For those who don’t know, Valve has a verification system designed for the Steam Deck. If a game is marked Verified, it should run smoothly on the handheld right out of the box. You can also opt for Playable titles if you find any good deals in the sale, but these may require some tweaks and adjustments for optimized performance.

That said, here are the best Steam Deck Verified games available for under $5 during Steam’s Spring Sale. While you shouldn’t expect to get any new releases in this budget, you can still score some popular hits like Dying Light, DOOM, and more. We’ve included both the original and discounted prices, so you know exactly how much you’re saving.

It is important to keep in mind that the Steam Spring Sale is live until March 26, so you have around seven more days to enjoy the discounts. Once the sale is over, most of the games will return to their original prices, and you’ll have to wait for the next big sales event.

If you’re looking for more Steam Deck-friendly deals, we also recommend checking out Humble’s Metroidvania Mayhem bundle, as it lets you save big on a collection of Verified games. Valve has confirmed almost 30 Steam sales this year, and the Spring Sale is the first real big event we’ve seen so far. The next seasonal event will, of course, be the Summer Sale at the end of June.
