Steam Summer Sale: Must-Play Open World Games With Huge Discounts

The Steam Summer Sale is live, which means Valve offers literally thousands of games with steep discounts (a.k.a. Gaben effectively stealing our money). This is the perfect time to get those open world games that you never got around to playing, like The Witcher 3. Or maybe you’ve waited till they’d become a bit cheaper. Whatever the case, now is the time.

Before we kick things off though, some ground rules. For today we’ve selected a bunch of open world games with a sexy Steam Summer Sale discount. They’re all highly regarded open world games, though some might be legendary, others a bit more niche.

Then there’s the discount-rule: the game must at least be 33% cheaper. That takes the sting out of some of the pricier games on the list. We’ve categorized the list into discount categories: Rare, Epic, and Legendary.

Oh, and before you rush to the comments, no, we don’t get anything from Valve for this. It’s just a celebration of cheap gaming! If you did however already intend to write something down below, make sure to leave us your favorite open world games or biggest steal of the Steam Summer Sale that we didn’t feature.
