Steam is widely recognized for its frequent sale events, each offering an excellent chance for gamers to expand their libraries without overspending. The most significant ones are the seasonal sales, such as the Autumn and the forthcoming Winter sale, but Steam also organizes smaller themed events. One of these is the Animal Fest, which kicks off today.
This latest Steam event celebrates adorable and fluffy animals, including raccoons, goats, and cats! Animal Fest will run for one week. Just because the theme revolves around cute creatures doesn’t mean the lineup is limited to just wholesome games; players can look forward to a range of genres and styles, from hilarious and chaotic to relaxing!
Younger gamers and fans of Animal Crossing might appreciate the charming open world of Hello Kitty Island Adventure, which is currently offered at a 25% discount ($29.99 / 29,99€ / £26.99).
Command your armies towards victory in Empire of the Ants, a real-time strategy game where your nests act as castles and insects are ready to follow your lead in battle. It's now priced at $19.99 / 19,99€ / £17.49, also reflecting a 50% discount. If you seek something akin to The Legend of Zelda on PC, TUNIC could be the perfect addition to your collection. This isometric action-adventure title features a small fox as the protagonist and is currently available at a 50% discount, reducing the price to $14.99 / 14,49€ / £12.49.
And naturally, there are plenty of other deals to explore. Discover additional discounts from the Steam Animal Fest 2025 event here. Valve has indicated a desire to try out “more niche” sales events on Steam next year, suggesting that we can anticipate similar genres or themes being featured again in the future.
Many of these games often don’t receive significant attention during major sales, so this event presents an excellent opportunity to uncover hidden gems you may have missed. However, remember that the sale will end on November 17 at 10 AM PST, so be sure to pick up anything you want before then. As always, be sure to visit our free games page and keep an eye out for upcoming titles and special offers.
