The 2023 Steam Summer Sale is now live, bringing new and returning discounts on PC games. The event is active for two weeks, running until July 13, 10:30pm IST, with a larger pool of discounted games than March's sale event, going up to an 85 percent price hack. Bandai Namco is finally offering a discount on the Dark Souls trilogy, more than a year since it stalled price cuts on it, due to a crucial security vulnerability discovered in January 2022. However, the price reduction isn't as steep as it used to be, with Dark Souls 3 costing Rs. 2,149, compared to the Rs. 1,047 price tag early last year. It's still a massive drop from the base Rs. 4,299 price tag though, allowing newcomers enthralled by Elden Ring to check out more of FromSoftware's catalogue. That award-winning open-world title is also on sale for Rs. 1,819 — a 30 percent price cut, and it's also got an expansion planned for later.

Every PlayStation–PC port is also being offered on sale, save for The Last of Us Part I, which I imagine won't see a discount until Naughty Dog fully fixes it. In my technical review of the game, I mentioned how it completely hogged down the CPU cores — even during idle — and had a range of performance issues such as framerate drops and uneven texture loading. You can instead opt for another father-child story in the God of War reboot, available at 40 percent off for Rs. 1,979. Both Spider-Man games, Remastered and Miles Morales, are listed at Rs. 2,679 and Rs. 2,210, respectively, though I feel like the latter should be even cheaper considering how short the overall game is. Another good pick would be Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which puts both Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy in the same package for Rs.
