The 2019 Steam Summer Sale may have gotten off to a rocky start when it launched earlier this afternoon (and it’s had some more hiccups since then), but that didn’t stop us from figuring out the sale’s best deals. As always, the Steam Summer Sale provides some of the biggest discounts on the most popular games. Each day, Valve features a few game deals users might be interested in at the top of the sale page, but we wanted to dig through the sale ourselves to find the games we think are worth your dollars.
To help you sift through it all, we’ve compiled a list of the Summer Steam Sale’s best deals so far:
