Steam Autumn Sale: 9 New 2026 Games You Can Grab Cheap

Steam's Autumn Sale has big discounts on brand new 2026 games like Resident Evil Requiem, Lego Batman, and 007 First Light. See the full list of nine standout deals.
Did you skip some of this year's biggest releases because $70 felt like too much? Good news: Steam's Autumn Sale is here, and it's serving up serious discounts on games that only came out in 2026. We've rounded up nine standouts that are worth a look.
Leading the charge is Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom's latest survival horror adventure that launched back in February. It's down to $48.99 from $69.99. If you were hesitant at full price, now's your chance to see what all the fuss is about.
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight also drops to $48.99 (was $69.99). Our own Jody praised it earlier this year, calling it "the most Arkham game since the last Arkham game." That's high praise for a Lego game, and at under $50, it's an easy recommendation for Batman fans.
007 First Light, from Hitman developer IO Interactive, is another $70 game that's now under $50 at $48.99. While our reviewer Josh wasn't completely blown away by IO's take on Bond, Steam users are largely happy with it. If you're curious about a new Bond adventure, this is a solid price to jump in.
If you're looking for something to play with friends, Big Walk is down to $15.99 from $19.99. It supports up to 12 players and offers a tranquil but challenging world full of puzzles. It's one of the most cooperative co-op games around, and it's nice to see a discount less than two months after launch.
Stick it to the Stickman just came out in September and is already on sale for $5.99 (was $11.99). Our writer played it and had fun climbing the office tower by "firing" other employees with one-button combos. It's a quirky, cheap thrill.
For strategy fans, Endless Legend 2 is $24.99 (was $49.99). It just left early access and hit 1.0, and our review called it "a magnificent example of why Amplitude is so loved by 4X fans." If you've been waiting for the full release, now's the time.
Marathon is discounted to $23.99 from $39.99. The game has faced some social media dunking due to Bungie's struggles, but regardless, it's a great game. At this price, it's worth checking out if you're into extraction shooters.
Solasta 2 is $31.48 (was $62.98). It's still in early access, but Jody had positive things to say back in March, noting it's best for people "who restart every CRPG a couple of times." If that's you, it's a steal.
Finally, Xenonauts 2 is $19.99 (was $39.99). This X-COM-like tactics game (think the original X-COMs) hit 1.0 this year and earned a glowing review from us: "Some old-school alien butt kicking." If you miss the classic alien-fighting formula, this is for you.
There are plenty more deals where these came from. SteamDB's sales section is a great way to sort through everything on sale and find hidden gems. So, which of these nine will you be picking up? Let us know in the comments!
