Six Halo campaigns (Reach, Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3, ODST, Halo 4) plus multiplayer and every map pack in one bundle.

• 007 First Light: ~~$69.99~~ $41.99 at Steam (-40%). IO Interactive’s reboot of the Bond franchise launched in May; a 40% launch discount is unusual this quickly. 84 on Metacritic. Ends October 22.
• Cyberpunk 2077: ~~$59.99~~ $17.99 at Steam (-70%). CD Projekt Red’s Night City open-world RPG at its all-time low, the same studio that’s been in our headlines all week for Project Hadar and Cyberpunk 2. 86 on Metacritic. Ends October 26.
• F.E.A.R.: ~~$9.99~~ $1.99 at Steam (-80%). Monolith’s 2005 slow-motion FPS classic. 88 on Metacritic, still the cheapest entry into the FEAR series. Matches its all-time low.
• RuneScape: Dragonwilds: ~~$29.99~~ $20.99 at Steam (-30%). Jagex’s open-world survival spin on RuneScape, launched earlier this year. 75 on Metacritic, at its cheapest yet. Ends October 29.
• observer_: ~~$29.99~~ $2.99 at Steam (-90%). Bloober Team’s cyberpunk horror from the same studio behind the Layers of Fear remakes and the upcoming Cronos: The New Dawn. 78 on Metacritic. Matches its all-time low.

Skip it

• Enshrouded: ~~$39.99~~ $35.99 at Steam (-10%). Keen Flame Games’ open-world survival RPG that launched its 1.0 release and PS5 version this week. CheapShark shows this matches the game’s all-time low, but only a 10% off a recent launch isn’t a meaningful cut, and Steam user reviews have cooled to Mixed since the 1.0 launch. Wait for the next seasonal sale.
