Remedy Entertainment’s summer Steam sale won’t send your bank balance to the Dark Place.
The Finnish studio behind genre-defining titles like Alan Wake, Control, and Max Payne, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a massive summer sale on Steam, running from August 24 to August 31, 2025.
This limited-time event offers gamers a golden opportunity to dive into Remedy’s critically acclaimed catalog at steep discounts, with some titles slashed by up to 95%.
Whether you’re a fan of psychological horror, supernatural action, or narrative-driven adventures, this sale is packed with must-play games at historic low prices. Here’s a breakdown of the deals:
Control: Ultimate Edition – $3.99 (90% Off)
Control: Ultimate Edition is the crown jewel of this sale, priced at an unbelievable $3.99, down from its regular $39.99. This bundle includes the base game, plus The Foundation and AWE DLCs, and all post-launch updates.
Released in 2019, Control is a supernatural action-adventure where you play as Jesse Faden, a woman navigating the ever-shifting Federal Bureau of Control to uncover its secrets. With telekinetic powers, reality-bending environments, and a gripping story penned by Remedy’s Sam Lake, it’s no surprise the game has racked up over 80 awards and boasts an 84/100 average score on OpenCritic. If you’re into fast-paced combat and mind-bending narratives, this is a steal you can’t ignore.
Alan Wake – $0.99 (95% Off)
For less than a dollar, you can own Alan Wake, the 2010 psychological thriller that blends Stephen King-esque horror with a Twin Peaks-inspired vibe. Follow writer Alan Wake as he unravels a dark mystery in the eerie town of Bright Falls, armed with just a flashlight and a revolver. This atmospheric classic is a cornerstone of Remedy’s legacy, delivering a story-driven experience that still feels fresh. At $0.99, it’s practically a gift, and less than a damn fine cup of coffee.
Alan Wake Collector’s Edition Extras $0.99 (95% Off)
Don’t forget to grab the free Alan Wake Collector’s Edition pack, which includes a series of behind the scenes developer commentary videos. Listen to the Remedy team’s comments on everything from the game’s various locations to to its design. The commentary contains about one hour of video insights and is activated from the in-game menu.
Alan Wake’s American Nightmare – $0.89 (90% Off)
This not quite a sequel but more than a DLC dials up the action with a pulpy, B-movie flair. Priced at just $0.89 (down from $8.99), this bite-sized follow-up trades slow-burn horror for fast-paced combat, offering more weapons and a chaotic arcade mode. While not as deep as the original, it’s a fun, action-heavy extension of the Alan Wake universe, perfect for fans craving more of Remedy’s signature storytelling.
FBC: Firebreak – $33.99 (15% Off)
Remedy’s newest baby, FBC: Firebreak, is a multi-player Co-op FPS set in the Control universe, and also on sale for $33.99 (down from $39.99). While the discount is modest compared to the others, this marks the game’s first price cut since its launch. Despite mixed reviews, it’s a solid pick for players who enjoy cooperative gameplay and want to explore more of the Remedy Connected Universe. With two more recently announced free Firebreak content updates on the way later this year, this is a clever purchase for those who want to get ahead of the game.
Max Payne – $3.49 (65% Off)
A cornerstone of Remedy’s legacy, Max Payne is available for just $3.49, down from its regular $9.99. Released in 2001, this groundbreaking third-person shooter introduced the world to Max Payne, a gritty NYPD detective turned vigilante after the brutal murder of his family. With its noir-inspired storytelling, cinematic slow-motion “bullet time” mechanics, and a haunting narrative penned by Sam Lake, Max Payne redefined action games. The game’s comic-book-style cutscenes and atmospheric New York City backdrop still resonate with fans. At this price, it’s an absolute must-have for anyone who loves intense action and a gripping revenge tale.
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne – $2.49 (75% Off)
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne continues Max’s dark journey with even slicker gameplay and a deeper story. Released in 2003, this sequel amps up the bullet-time action and introduces a romantic noir subplot as Max, now back on the force, gets entangled with the enigmatic Mona Sax. The game refines its predecessor’s mechanics with improved physics, sharper visuals, and a tightly woven narrative that balances love, loss, and betrayal. At 75% off, it’s a perfect chance to dive into this iconic chapter of Remedy’s history, delivering a cinematic experience that still holds up today.
Death Rally – $0.99 (90% Off)
For retro gaming fans, or for those who really just want to see where Remedy first began, check out Death Rally, the studio’s first-ever game. This 1996 top-down vehicular combat racer is a nostalgic nod to the studio’s roots, offering arcade-style fun for a fraction of its usual price. You owe it to yourself.
The Steam sale is part of Remedy’s broader 30th-anniversary festivities, which include exclusive merchandise collaborations with iam8bit (like the fan-favorite Oh Deer Diner thermos and a Max Payne low-res shirt) and a deep-dive book, Alan Wake: Design Works, from Lost in Cult.
The studio is also hosting “Remedy Games,” a livestream series starting August 27, 2025, with a playthrough of Control to mark its sixth anniversary.
