It’s time for another sale on PC games, and this time, you can strap in for Steam Cyberpunk Fest 2026, which shines a light on the games that celebrate the future and the inevitable dystopia we’re headed towards. Constant surveillance, corporations becoming national powers, and neon lighting are hallmarks of the genre, and plenty of games have dipped their toes into that dark future. With so much to choose from, where does one even begin?
We’ve taken a look at the games on sale and dropped some of our picks below for a mix of hard-hitting futurism and atmospheric worldbuilding, all spread across various genres.
As a reminder, Steam Cyberpunk Fest runs August 3-10, and once it concludes, it’ll be followed by Pins & Pegs Fest (August 17-20) and PvE Survival Crafting Fest (August 31 – September 7). For a closer look at what the rest of the year holds in store–as well as the first half of 2027–you can check out our feature on all the upcoming Steam sales.
Cyberpunk 2077
$18 (was $60)
We might as well start this list off with the biggest name in the genre, Cyberpunk 2077 and its phenomenal expansion Phantom Liberty. Almost six years after it first launched in a disastrous state, Cyberpunk 2077 has had numerous upgrades installed, polishing the game to a level where you genuinely feel like you’re a citizen in a neon-soaked dystopian future. Strong on storytelling and buildcrafting gameplay where you fine-tune your Edgerunner, Cyberpunk 2077 gives you all the tools you need to be a Night City legend. And with a new anime series inspired by the game on the way, now is the perfect time to hop in and see what all the fuss is about.
RoboCop: Rogue City
$4 (was $50)
The 2023 RoboCop game checks all the boxes for a cyberpunk game: You’ve got a corporation that has more power than elected officials, everything is baked in a neon glow, and gangs of criminals who are content to commit fashion crimes on top of the usual felonies. RoboCop: Rogue City not only nails that atmosphere, but also the feeling of being a cybernetic cop programmed to mete out justice by stylishly taking down every bad guy in CRT-scale sight with slick gunplay and brute machine force. The game also shines a light on what Alex Murphy does between cases, and the Unfinished Business expansion is a great standalone campaign that imagines RoboCop if it were an unofficial Raid movie.
Kusan: City of Wolves
$12 (was $15)
It might look like a cyberpunk-themed version of Hotline Miami, but Kusan: City of Wolves successfully carves its own identity through bloody battles, a deep grid-based upgrade system, and an adrenaline-pumping soundtrack full of hard-hitting Korean hip-hop. Full of hardcore action where there’s no room for error, the game is all about lightning-fast combat with the intensity dialed up to 11.
Ghostrunner 1 and 2
- Ghostrunner — $7.49 (was $25)
- Ghostrunner 2 — $8 (was $40)
You can’t spell cyberpunk without some of the letters in dystopia, and the Ghostrunner games are a fun blast of high-octane energy and parkour. Death is always a single blow away, but by the time you master the gameplay, you’ll be a lean-and-mean killing machine who can wallrun and power-slide their way to victory. A synth-heavy electronic soundtrack and a game world that emphasizes the depressing nature of megacorps taking over society only adds to the techno-magic of these gems.
Into the Grid
$11.68 (was $14.88)
No list about cyberpunk games is truly complete without at least one title that focuses on hacking, and that’s where Into the Grid earns its spot. If you’re not jaded by the idea of playing a roguelike deckbuilder, then you’ll appreciate how Into the Grid combines the genre with clever spatial strategy and resource management as you work your way through corporate servers. It’s a neat twist on established deck-building tropes, and the tactical simulation of cyber-infiltration is given a sharp presentation.
Dystopika
$3.49 (was $7)
You might have fantasized about living in a cyberpunk world, but have you ever considered building your own? Dystopika gives you all the tools you need to build the dystopia of tomorrow, without any of the megacorp pressure. It’s the darker side of cozy city-building, as there are no goals or objectives to chase. Simply place buildings, erect giant billboards, and watch your metropolis come to life in this sci-fi zen game.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
$16 (was $40)
It’s not cyberpunk, it’s cyberfunk! A spiritual successor to Jet Set Radio, you play as an up-and-coming graffiti artist who has lost their head–literally. On a quest to reclaim your noggin, you’ll get to explore several boroughs, tag the walls with spraycan art, and use extreme sports skills to evade the militarized police of a dark future. Full of smooth gameplay and a stellar soundtrack, you’ll want to check this out if you’ve been pining for those halcyon Dreamcast days.
Transistor
$4 (was $20)
Hades developer Supergiant is best-known for its roguelite adventures featuring a pantheon of Greek gods and legends, but before it tasked players with escaping the underworld, it was combining emotions and action in Transistor. An elegant combo of art deco and cyberpunk themes, Transistor also fuses real-time combat with turn-based tactics as you take part in an emotional narrative driven by music.
Metal Eden
$8 (was $17.58)
Metal Eden doesn’t chart new ground for boomer-shooters, but it still deserves praise for mixing satisfying moment-to-moment action with sharp cyberpunk style. If you’re looking for fluid action, movement options that feel empowering, and a slick aesthetic, then you’ll want to grab a download of this exciting and well-designed shooter.
Cloudpunk
$7 (was $20)
There’s something magical about the idea of a cyberpunk city, and in Cloudpunk, you’ll get to explore the metropolis of the future from up high. You’d think that delivering packages in a future where you have access to gravity-defying cars would be easy, but with towering skyscrapers and corporate conspiracies dogging you, you have to keep your eyes on the prize. Cloudpunk nails the cyberpunk aesthetic with its art direction, and with dozens of interesting characters to meet and decisions that have a lasting impact on the world around you, it’s a great game for anyone who enjoys that sci-fi atmosphere.
Nobody Wants to Die
$3.74 (was $25)
Nobody Wants to Die reimagines a hard-boiled detective story as an adventure that asks some hard-hitting questions about human nature. Primarily a detective game with a striking cyberpunk neon-noir atmosphere, players are given crime-solving tech to track down a serial killer targeting the elites who have found a way to cheat death. Branching dialogue choices help to shape character interactions and how the game ends for you, but it’s the questions about transhumanism that’ll stay with you by the time you roll credits on this somber mystery.
Katana Zero
$9 (was $15)
Another action game where you’re only a single blow away from death, Katana Zero balances that intense race through meat grinder gauntlets with cunning time-manipulation gameplay and lightning-fast encounters. It’s also a looker, as the neo-noir pixel art style–combined with the awesome synth soundtrack–keeps you on your toes and sweating as you attempt to nail a perfect run.
