Summary
Electronic Artshas launched a massive PC games sale as part of the newly started Steam Scream: The Revenge event. This is shaping up to be one of the storefront’s final sales beforeSteam’s new payment policygoes into effect, thus changing the way some consumers pay for games on the platform.
Valvelaunched the original Steam Scream salein the run-up to last year’s Halloween. The promo was looking to highlight games that celebrate the spirit of the spookiest month of the year, consequently introducing hefty discounts on a wide array of horror experiences and other creepy titles.
The second iteration of the event started today and will run until November 2, with EA being one of the biggest supporters of the newly launched sale. The company’s selection of promotional offers is frontlined by a hefty 40% discount onthe critically acclaimedDead Spaceremake, which is now available at $35.99. The second and third entries in the trilogy are both available at 80% off, or $3.99 a piece, during the promo. Other spooky products that are part of EA’s Steam Scream: The Revenge offerings includeAlice: Madness ReturnsandLost in Random, which are currently available at 85% and 90% off, respectively.
All Halloween-relatedThe Sims 4expansions are also part of the newly debuted sale, including the Paranormal, Vampires, and Werewolves content packs. Those DLC discounts appear to be on the lower end, only reaching up to 30% off, depending on the exact expansion. EA also treated all of itsPlants vs. Zombiesgames on Steam to a flat 80% price cut, not least because the undead are a natural fit for Halloween.
And while Steam Scream: The Revenge is largely geared toward celebrating games whose themes match Allhallows Eve,EAstill sneaked quite a few unrelated titles into its newest sale. For example, the vast majority of theNeed for Speedfranchise has been discounted up to 90% as part of the promo, together with bothStar Wars Battlefrontgames, which are currently available at 75% off, or $14.98 combined.
The newest game from the newly discounted lot is also unrelated to Halloween, as that title goes toImmortals of Aveum, which is now temporarily available at 40% off. As a reminder,Immortals of Aveumreleased to mixed reviewsin late August. RPG fans looking for less action-oriented gameplay might instead look toward theDragon Agefranchise, whose entries have been discounted between 70% and 75%. Other highlights from EA’s newly launched sale include 85% off on theMirror’s Edgeseries and 75% discounts given toStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,Sea of Solitude,Spore, and theBurnout Paradiseremaster.
