Steam Autumn Sale 2023 Best Deals: Starfield, Diablo IV, Cyberpunk 2077, Dark Souls Trilogy, and More

The 2023 Steam Autumn Sale is now live, bringing new and returning deals on PC games. The event is live for a week, running until November 28 at 10:30pm IST, slashing prices by up to 85 percent on select titles. Blizzard’s Diablo IV, which recently came to Valve’s storefront, has gotten a 40 percent discount — Rs. 3,359 — tossing you into the hellish landscape of the Sanctuary to battle bloodthirsty monsters as a legendary horned demon Lilith, Queen of the Succubi comes into power. Lacklustre post-launch content has tarnished this game’s reputation, so why not give it a test run with the six-day-long free trial? Bethesda’s expansive space RPG Starfield has also received a first discount, setting you centuries into the future where humanity has begun thriving on other planets. It’s available at Rs. 3,999 at a 20 percent discount.

PlayStation Studios’ entire catalogue is part of the promotion as well, including The Last of Us Part I, which drops down to Rs. 2,679 (33 percent off) despite the lingering issues with visual fidelity and performance even at lower graphical presets.

Starfield Review

The acclaimed God of War 2019 reboot, in which a now-reserved Kratos and his son Atreus set off on a treacherous journey through Nordic lands to scatter his wife’s ashes from the highest peak in the nine realms. It’s available at 40 percent off for Rs. 1,979. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, a package of two games — Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy — is available at the same price, too, letting you pick between Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer’s adventures in the wild. And it might be a couple of years before Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 comes to PC, but if you still haven’t caught up on Peter Parker and Miles Morales’ saga, then now’s the perfect time. Spider-Man Remastered is priced at Rs. 2,399, while its shorter spinoff sequel costs Rs. 1,979.

FromSoftware fans, who were drawn in through the studio’s recent titles Elden Ring and Armored Core VI games, can take a trip down memory lane with the Dark Souls trilogy. It is worth mentioning that publisher Bandai Namco has upped Dark Souls Remastered’s base price, so with a 50 percent discount, it’s now listed at Rs. 1,199 — the original price tag until July 2023. Its sequels have not undergone a price increase, with Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin costing Rs. 1,199 and Dark Souls III at Rs. 2,149 — both at 50 percent off, with DLCs/ Season Pass to purchase separately. Meanwhile, the Pinocchio-inspired souls-like title, Lies of P, has received its first price drop, down from Rs. 3,700 to Rs. 2,960. This is the closest a PC gamer would come towards experiencing Bloodborne, and to that effect, it delivers gracefully with a haunting atmosphere and bone-chilling boss designs. Another major souls-like Lords of the Fallen is also on sale at a 34 percent discount for Rs. 1,979, though be wary of persistent performance issues.

Cyberpunk 2077 Review

If open-world is your jam, then Red Dead Redemption 2 is a no-brainer — a 67 percent discount, taking the price down to Rs. 1,055. Or you can delve into the futuristic Blade Runner-esque world of Cyberpunk 2077, available at Rs. 1,499, excluding the Phantom Liberty expansion. That additional content hasn’t received a price drop, but you can opt for an inclusive bundle that costs Rs. 2,758. Those looking for a more contained experience can check out Dave the Diver, a cutesy pixelated roguelike about catching fish and serving them at the local sushi shop. It costs Rs. 704 after a 20 percent price cut.

Gotham Knights, Disco Elysium, and Alien Isolation lead PlayStation Plus Extra, Deluxe Games for October 2023

Gotham Knights leads the pack of new titles coming to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium game catalog, this month. Starting October 17, all higher-tier PS Plus members can hop onto their Batcycles and ride around the streets of Gotham City, beating up all kinds of volatile criminals in the hopes of unmasking the enigmatic Court of Owls. Players can switch between Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, and the Red Hood throughout the story to investigate Batman/ Bruce Wayne’s death, and build out their character via a gear system. Gotham Knights wasn’t nicely received at launch due to a myriad of performance issues across console and PC, in addition to having a repetitive gameplay loop. It will be available on the PS5 only.

The award-winning literary RPG Disco Elysium is another big entry this month, throwing you into the shoes of an alcoholic amnesiac detective going through an existential crisis, while navigating madness, politics, and the horrors of addiction. Serving as a love letter to tabletop games, its rich narrative leaves several loose-hanging threads to explore, through interrogating characters, solving cases, accepting bribes, and consuming drugs to temporarily boost your stats. Disco Elysium arrives on the PS4 and PS5, and being The Final Cut version, the entire game is voice acted. Follow it up with Eldest Souls, a pixelated top-down souls-like set in a desolate wasteland created by the Old Gods. Armed with a greatsword forged using the purest obsidian, a lone warrior is tasked with defeating them in punishingly difficult boss battles and restore the world back to the way it was. Eldest Souls will be out on PS4 and PS5.

Halloween month calls for horror games, and the October PS Plus catalog brings some pure classics, starting with Alien Isolation where the aspect of fear is intensified by the idea that you’re stranded on a spaceship, lightyears away from Earth. It’s set 15 years after the events of the Alien (1979) film, and follows Ellen Ripley’s daughter Amanda, as she embarks on a trip into the stars to uncover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance, only to be hunted by a deadly Xenomorph on the prowl. Alien Isolation will be free-to-play for PS Plus Extra and Premium members on October 17. Then there’s Dead Island Definitive Edition, where an eclectic group of four are caught amidst a zombie outbreak on the tropical island of Banoi; forced to crack open infected skulls, smash heads, and slice down appendages to survive.

In Outlast II, two investigative journalists, tracking clues on the seemingly impossible murder of a pregnant Jane Doe, are pulled into a dark and corrupt Arizonian town, where a plump cultist Sullivan Knoth carries out ruthless murders under the Lord’s name. Those looking for a more plot-heavy affair can check out The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes, in which a group of Special Forces excavating for weapons of mass destruction end up uncovering a long-buried Sumerian temple — a nest for some deadly creatures. It can be played in co-op mode, as well.

All these and more were unveiled on the PlayStation Blog and will be available exclusively to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe members in October (PS Plus Deluxe is called PS Plus Premium in select markets). Last month’s catalogue included NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…, Sed Meier’s Civilization VI, and This War of Mine to name just a few.

Here’s the complete list of free games available to PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium subscribers, starting October 17.

The blog post also lists the PS Plus Classics catalogue for October, available exclusively to PS Plus Deluxe/ Premium members. This month brings Tekken 6, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, Ape Escape Academy, and IQ Final.

PlayStation Plus Deluxe subscription starts in India from Rs. 849 per month, whereas the Extra subscription begins at Rs. 749 per month.

Steam Summer Sale 2023 Best Deals: Dark Souls 3, God of War, FIFA 23, Cyberpunk 2077, and More

The 2023 Steam Summer Sale is now live, bringing new and returning discounts on PC games. The event is active for two weeks, running until July 13, 10:30pm IST, with a larger pool of discounted games than March’s sale event, going up to an 85 percent price hack. Bandai Namco is finally offering a discount on the Dark Souls trilogy, more than a year since it stalled price cuts on it, due to a crucial security vulnerability discovered in January 2022. However, the price reduction isn’t as steep as it used to be, with Dark Souls 3 costing Rs. 2,149, compared to the Rs. 1,047 price tag early last year. It’s still a massive drop from the base Rs. 4,299 price tag though, allowing newcomers enthralled by Elden Ring to check out more of FromSoftware’s catalogue. That award-winning open-world title is also on sale for Rs. 1,819 — a 30 percent price cut, and it’s also got an expansion planned for later.

Every PlayStation–PC port is also being offered on sale, save for The Last of Us Part I, which I imagine won’t see a discount until Naughty Dog fully fixes it. In my technical review of the game, I mentioned how it completely hogged down the CPU cores — even during idle — and had a range of performance issues such as framerate drops and uneven texture loading. You can instead opt for another father-child story in the God of War reboot, available at 40 percent off for Rs. 1,979. Both Spider-Man games, Remastered and Miles Morales, are listed at Rs. 2,679 and Rs. 2,210, respectively, though I feel like the latter should be even cheaper considering how short the overall game is. Another good pick would be Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which puts both Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy in the same package for Rs. 1,979.

I’m quite surprised to see Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on sale this soon, having launched in April to rave reviews — all of which criticised its performance issues that led to the game struggling to run on high-end hardware. That explains the Mixed reception on Steam, and it’s priced at Rs. 2,624 at a 25 percent discount. In contrast, Resident Evil 4 — released in March — is not available on sale, though there are other quality Capcom titles you can pick. I’d recommend getting the Resident Evil 2 remake, where you step into the shoes of rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy, as he makes his way into the infected Raccoon City, ravaged by flesh-eating zombies. It is listed at Rs. 499 at a 75 percent discount. Or if you’re into high-octane hack-and-slash, get Devil May Cry 5 for Rs. 577.

If you’re into open-world titles, Red Dead Redemption 2 should be a no-brainer pick, which has received a 67 percent discount, taking the price down to Rs. 1,055. Or prime yourself for the Phantom Liberty DLC with the Blade Runner-esque Cyberpunk 2077, which I promise, is in a much better state than it was at launch in 2020. The base game costs Rs. 1,499 after a 50 percent discount, though you can also get a bundle worth Rs. 2,758, which also includes the upcoming expansion. On the shooter side, the latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has received a 45 percent discount, now costing Rs. 2,749 for the base edition.

With that, here’s a list of the top deals on PC games you shouldn’t miss out on during Steam’s Summer Sale 2023.
