Master the art of deception with Steam’s latest themed sale event

Steam's Social Deduction Fest is now live, bringing discounts on a wide range of multiplayer games built around deception, teamwork, and betrayal. Whether you're bluffing your way to victory or desperately trying to expose the impostor, now's a great time to pick up a few party games without emptying your wallet.

Social deduction games revolve around hidden roles, with one group secretly working against everyone else. While the majority cooperates to complete objectives, the hidden traitors must deceive, sabotage, and manipulate their way to victory. The result is usually plenty of accusations, frantic debates, and friendships that somehow survive... most of the time.

As always, Valve has paired the sale with one of its signature tongue-in-cheek trailers hosted by Kaci Aitchison, highlighting a selection of featured games while giving players a quick tour of what's on offer.

The biggest name in the genre is, of course, Among Us, which is currently available for $2.99 / €2.99 / £2.99 at 40% off. The game became a global phenomenon during the COVID-19 pandemic, offering friends a way to socialize while stuck at home. Years later, it's still one of the easiest recommendations for anyone looking to dive into the genre thanks to its simple gameplay and quick matches.

There are plenty of other discounted titles worth checking out too. Death Note Killer Within is 50% off, bringing the iconic manga's mind games into multiplayer form. West Hunt also sits at 50% off, challenging sheriffs and outlaws to outsmart one another in a tense Wild West setting. Meanwhile, Lockdown Protocol drops by 40%, tasking players with rooting out saboteurs before everything falls apart.

If you're after something a little more chaotic, First Class Trouble is an absolute bargain at 90% off, pitting human players against hidden traitors and a rogue AI aboard a luxury space liner. Or, for something wonderfully absurd, Oh Deer is 60% off, where one hunter disguised as a deer attempts to blend into a herd while the real deer try to survive.

Not every game in the sale sticks strictly to social deduction. Donut County, currently 75% off, offers a charming physics-based puzzle adventure where you control an ever-growing hole that swallows everything in sight. It's a fun palate cleanser if you're looking for something a little more relaxing between rounds of accusing your friends.

The Steam Social Deduction Fest runs until July 16, 2026, giving players a few more days to stock up on multiplayer favorites while the discounts last. As always, if you’re looking to get the most value from your gaming budget, be sure to browse our dedicated deals hub for the latest offers.
