The Steam Spring Sale 2026 is live, with major discounts available through March 26.

To make things easier, we have picked out the best games under $20 that still offer strong value today, covering a mix of genres and playstyles.

So, get ready to expand your Steam library with these picks.

Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition

At 85% off, Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition is a great deal. You explore Gotham and Arkham Asylum while taking on villains like the Joker, Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, and Bane. It is still one of the best superhero games, but it feels smaller compared to modern open-world titles.

Price: $2.99

Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Yakuza: Like a Dragon follows Ichiban Kasuga through a story that mixes drama with humor. It switches to turn-based combat, which is a big shift, but the usual side activities are still there. There is plenty to do, from side quests to mini-games, so it offers strong value for the price. Just keep in mind, it is a long game, and the slower combat will not work for everyone.

Price: $7.99

Mad Max

This third-person action game is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. You play as Max Rockatansky, trying to survive and get out of the chaos. A big part of the game is car combat, and you can upgrade and customize the Magnum Opus. A lot of other Warner Bros. games, including Mad Max and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, are also very cheap right now. Strong early on, but the gameplay loop becomes repetitive after several hours.

Price: $2.99

Resident Evil 3

Resident Evil 3 makes the list as a solid entry in the franchise. While it is not as popular as Resident Evil 4 Remake, a 90% discount makes it worth considering. Nemesis relentlessly hunts Jill Valentine as you explore Raccoon City and avoid his attacks.

Price: $2.99

Days Gone

Days Gone follows Deacon St. John in a world full of Freakers. The open world can change quickly, and things can get dangerous fast, especially when big hordes show up. Your bike matters a lot, since you need to manage fuel and upgrade it to survive. Combat mixes stealth, crafting, and gunplay depending on how you play. The start is slow, but it gets better later.

Price: $15.99

Death Stranding: Director’s Cut

Directed by Hideo Kojima and starring Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen, this game feels very different from most others. It is often called a walking simulator, as you spend a lot of time delivering cargo across large landscapes while reconnecting a broken society. You can also use structures left behind by other players, which adds a small shared element.

Price: $13.99

Prince of Persia (2008)

This reboot of Prince of Persia stands out for its cel-shaded art style, and it still looks good today. Movement is smooth, and you spend most of your time chaining platforming across the environment. Combat is mostly one-on-one, focused on timing and counters instead of large fights. Elika helps you move around and saves you from mistakes, which makes the game easier but also less challenging. It is very forgiving, with almost no fail state, so there is less tension.

Price: $1.99

The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series

This collection includes all four seasons, the 400 Days DLC, and The Walking Dead: Michonne, with a total of 23 episodes. It is a choice-driven narrative game where your decisions shape the story and determine who survives alongside Clementine. More about story than gameplay.

Price: $9.99

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Hollow Knight: Silksong expands on the original with more enemies, bosses, and a larger world. Movement feels faster, changing the pace of combat. It is more difficult, with tighter encounters and less room for error. Strong design and soundtrack remain, but it may not suit everyone.

Price: $15.99

PEAK

PEAK is a co-op climbing game where the goal is to reach the top of a mountain. You can play solo or with friends while managing stamina and using tools like ropes. The challenge comes from coordination and careful movement, and mistakes can set you back quickly. It works best with friends, as solo play can feel limited.

Price: $4.95

Whether you want to explore Gotham, survive a zombie-infested world, or take on a climbing challenge with friends, the Steam Spring Sale 2026 offers a wide range of games at low prices.
