Best deals today

• Metro 2033 Redux: ~~$19.99~~ $1.99 on GOG or Fanatical (−90%). The 4A Games reboot that launched the Metro series; Metacritic 90. Cheap enough that there’s no reason not to try it before the franchise’s next entry.
• Homeworld Remastered Collection: ~~$34.99~~ $4.73 on GreenManGaming (−86%). Both Homeworld 1 and 2 rebuilt for modern PCs, plus the original games included. Metacritic 86. A space-RTS classic at a price that almost makes it disposable.
• Cyberpunk 2077: ~~$59.99~~ $17.99 on Steam (−70%). Ends October 26. Phantom Liberty is bundled in some regions, separate in others, so verify before checkout.
• Hogwarts Legacy: ~~$59.99~~ $5.99 on Steam (−90%). The open-world Harry Potter RPG at its lowest posted Steam price. Ends October 22.
• Batman: Arkham Collection: ~~$59.99~~ $8.99 on Steam (−85%). Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight together, all three Metacritic 86+. Ends October 22.

Free right now on Epic through October 22, 3 PM ET: Bad Cheese, a dark cartoon-horror short inspired by 1920s animation, and Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise, a spy-themed puzzle adventure with 100+ rooms. Sker Ritual and Home rotate in on Thursday (October 22). We covered the same freebies in last week’s Free Games This Week.

For a player filling out a back catalog on a budget, today’s two real buys are Metro 2033 Redux at $1.99 and Homeworld Remastered at $4.73 — both are single-player, both clock in under 30 hours for a playthrough, and both sit above 85 on Metacritic. Everything else on this list is a flash deal ending Tuesday or Wednesday, so if you’ve been on the fence on Hogwarts Legacy at $5.99 or Arkham Collection at $8.99, those prices won’t return in a hurry. Phantom Liberty is the paid expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 that adds the Dogtown district and Idris Elba’s Solomon Reed storyline. Yesterday’s Deal Radar still applies: Halo MCC at $9.99 ends Monday and Batman Arkham Collection at $8.99 is the strongest value if you only buy one Steam deal this weekend.

007 First Light: ~~$69.99~~ $41.99 on Steam (−40%). The 40% off badge is doing a lot of work. IO Interactive’s Bond origin story launched earlier this fall and is still selling fine at full price, and $42 is just a soft launch price with extra steps. The Switch 2 version is dated for March 18, 2027, so waiting it out is also an option. Ends October 22.
