Humble’s latest bundle is offering 11 Steam Deck-friendly games worth $150 for $12
Table of Contents
If you’re a fan of chess, then Humble has launched a special bundle for you. It’s called Checkmate: A Chess Games Collection, and it comes packed with a solid collection of titles that will let you explore new ways to play the age-old board game. Better yet, all of them are playable on a handheld, including Valve’s popular Steam Deck.
What does the chess bundle offer?
Unlike most of the other bundles listed on Humble, this one isn’t divided into different tiers. Instead, there’s a single tier priced at $12, and it will give you access to 11 Steam Deck-friendly chess games worth $150. You can, however, choose to pay any amount higher than $12 if you’d like to donate extra to Humble, publishers, and charity.
The good news is that you’ll get a Steam key for each game, so you can redeem them directly to your account. This means you won’t have to worry about dealing with any third-party launchers. However, make sure to redeem them before April 8, 2027, as the keys will expire after that. We always recommend redeeming them as soon as possible to avoid any possible stock issues.

If you’re interested in even more great Steam game offers, we recommend checking out Humble’s Metroidvania Mayhem bundle, which offers $201 worth of Steam Deck games for only $12. There’s also the Steam Spring Sale starting later today.
