Steam’s Autumn Sale kicked off last week, bringing discounts to a wide range of games. It’s one of the biggest sales events of the year, offering up to 95% off. The sale is scheduled to conclude today, but if you were unable to take advantage of the discounts, or simply forgot about the event, there’s still some time left for you to score Steam Deck-friendly titles at dirt-cheap prices.

Best Steam Deck games under $3 in the latest Autumn Sale

We previously covered the best Steam Deck games available for under $10 and under $5 during the sale. However, some like to stick to an ultra-low budget, or simply just want to score a higher quantity of games for less. In any case, there is a good range of titles listed for just under $3. While this may seem like a small budget, you can add some popular hits to your library, like Beyond: Two Souls, Portal 2, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and more.

That said, here are the best Steam Deck games available for under $3 during the Steam Autumn Sale. To help you get an idea of how much you’ll save with each deal, you can see the original price compared to the limited-time offer below.

For those who just got a Steam Deck and are confused about the compatibility ratings, Valve has a Verification System designed to help owners learn how well a game should run on their handheld. If the game is Verified, it should run smoothly right out of the box. However, if it’s Playable, you may need to apply some manual settings tweaks (nothing too difficult) for an optimal experience.
