Spring is in the air, which can only mean one thing: the Steam Spring Sale is here. To kick off your spring cleaning, Valve is giving you an easy way to clean out your wallet by putting hundreds of the best PC games on steep discount. Everything from AAA open-world games and FPS games, to indies and platformers are seeing prices lower than they’ve ever been. Steam sales are always the best time to add those games you were on the fence about or missed out on in the past few months or years to your library and pretend you will get around to playing them all. We won’t judge you, but at least do yourself the favor of saving time by not browsing the endless pages of deals yourself. Instead, check out our list of the absolute best deals no matter your budget.

When is the Steam Spring Sale 2025?

The Steam Spring Sale kicked off on March 13 and will wrap up one week later on March 20 at 10 am PT.

The best FPS games on PC

Video game genres ebb and flow in terms of popularity, but the first-person shooter (FPS) has remained one of the biggest for generations. While there are plenty of amazing FPS games on PS5 and Xbox Series X, with most even being cross-platform games, the PC is still the ideal platform for shooters. You're free to use a standard controller on PC, but mastering the mouse and keyboard controls allows you to play at a much higher level. Of course, not every FPS game is a multiplayer game, and developers have pushed the genre to its creative limits on PC. Steam alone is overflowing with options, with more upcoming video games releasing every day. If you need a new FPS in your life and want to weed out the duds, check out our selection of amazing FPS games on PC.

The best games made by one person
Key art for Animal Well

When we think of the best PS5 games, best Xbox series X games, or best Switch games, we tend to go to the big blockbuster titles. These experiences take teams of dozens -- or perhaps hundreds -- of developers years to craft. As great as those are, and there are plenty of upcoming video games that fit that description, there are also solo developers who manage to build their own passion projects all on their own. These indie games tend to be smaller in scale but pack in more unique mechanics, experimental art and writing, and a level of personality and charm that is only possible when one person is in complete control. Making a game by yourself is incredibly hard, and yet we've seen more and more people release amazing games with little to no outside help. Here are our picks for the best games made by just one person.
