Steam Summer Sale Meets GeForce NOW: Discounts, New Games
The Steam Summer Sale is back, and this year it's teaming up with GeForce NOW to deliver a double dose of discounts and new gaming experiences. Alongside deep price cuts on thousands of PC games, GeForce NOW is offering up to $70 off its membership plans, making it easier than ever to game on virtually any device.
For gamers, the pairing offers a unique value proposition. Steam's sale, one of the largest annual events for PC gaming enthusiasts, provides steep discounts on popular titles. This year, the sale coincides with GeForce NOW’s own summer promotion, where users can save $70 on a 12-month Ultimate membership or $35 on a 12-month Performance membership. Combined, the deals provide access to a massive library of games and the ability to stream them in high-quality without hardware limitations.
Cloud Gaming Meets Deep Discounts
The GeForce NOW service removes the need for expensive gaming rigs by streaming games directly from NVIDIA's cloud-powered RTX servers. Members can play in up to 4K resolution with advanced features like NVIDIA DLSS, ray tracing, and NVIDIA Reflex for enhanced performance. This flexibility means gamers can pick up where they left off across PCs, Macs, smartphones, and even TVs.
One standout feature of this collaboration is the convenience it brings. Steam games purchased during the summer sale can be streamed via GeForce NOW, eliminating storage constraints and download times. NVIDIA has also made it easier for users to find deals by curating a “Sales & Special Offers” section in the GeForce NOW app.
New Games Join the GeForce NOW Library
In addition to discounts, GeForce NOW is expanding its game library with six new titles this week. Highlights include Dark Scrolls, a fast-paced roguelite from Devolver Digital, and Square Enix’s The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, a narrative-driven adventure. Both games are available to stream immediately, along with other new releases like SAND: Raiders of Sophie and EMPULSE.
Devolver Digital fans will also find that Dark Scrolls joins a growing lineup of their quirky, chaotic hits on GeForce NOW, which already includes Cult of the Lamb and Hotline Miami. The seamless streaming experience means no downloads or updates—just instant access to the action.
Why This Matters
The Steam Summer Sale has long been a major event for PC gaming, with its 2023 iteration generating significant buzz over blockbuster deals and discounts on Valve’s Steam Deck. This year’s collaboration with GeForce NOW elevates the shopping frenzy by providing an effortless way to enjoy those discounted games without worrying about hardware requirements.
For players, it represents a shift toward cloud gaming as a practical and cost-effective choice. With NVIDIA offering premium cloud gaming performance at a discount, users can future-proof their gaming setup while avoiding hardware upgrades. The combination of Steam’s wide-ranging sale and GeForce NOW’s all-device compatibility underscores how gaming accessibility continues to expand.
Both promotions are available now, with Steam’s sale typically running for about two weeks and GeForce NOW’s membership discounts live for a limited time. For gamers seeking to maximize their budget, this summer offers a rare opportunity to upgrade their library and their experience without breaking the bank.
