Humble Choice: Monthly Games, Price and Past Lineups

Humble Choice is Humble Bundle's monthly game subscription. Each month Humble's game scouts pick a set of games, members add them to their library as Steam keys, and the month's lineup is replaced by the next one. This page explains the parts that stay the same from month to month and links the lineup posts, so you can find the current month and the ones you missed. Last updated October 10, 2026.

What you get for the monthly fee

Humble's membership page lists Humble Choice at $14.99 per month in the United States and 12.99 euros on its European page. Its subscription page adds that an annual plan brings the cost below $13 per month in US dollars, and that a member can skip a month at any time.

The games are the main reason to subscribe, but Humble lists other perks. Members save up to 20 percent in the Humble store, including on new releases. Five percent of each membership payment goes to charity, according to the page. The Vault gives members more than 50 DRM-free indie titles and experimental games through the Humble app. Those extras need an active membership, so decide whether you will use them before counting them as part of the value.

How the keys and deadlines work

Each month's games arrive as Steam keys. The keys have an expiry date, and it differs between months. For September 2026 Humble gave a redemption deadline of April 6, 2027, and for October 2026 it gives May 4, 2027. Redeem on a Steam account you plan to keep, because a key can only be used once.

Some months also include a one-month IGN Plus key. That item is separate from the games. It is not available to people who already subscribe to IGN Plus, it only works where IGN Plus is sold, and Humble's terms say it renews at the monthly rate after the first 30 days unless you cancel in your IGN account. In both lineups we covered, its deadline came much sooner than the Steam keys, so check the date when a lineup goes live.

Some keys are blocked in certain countries or limited to Europe. Humble lists those restrictions on each month's page. Read them before you subscribe, because the lineup is the same for everyone but the keys you can redeem are not.

Every lineup we have covered

• October 2026: five PC games, led by Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Psychonauts 2, plus an IGN Plus key. Read the full Humble Choice October 2026 list for the key deadlines.
• September 2026: eight Steam games, led by Frostpunk 2 and Sonic X Shadow Generations, which left on October 6 at 10:00 PT. The September 2026 lineup post keeps the details, and Humble's own page shows what was in it.

We add each new month here as soon as Humble publishes it, so this page stays current.

A short checklist before you subscribe

Check three things on the month's page. First, find the key redemption date and put it in your calendar, because a missed date means a lost key. Second, confirm that the Steam account you will use is in a region the keys allow. Third, if the lineup includes IGN Plus and you do not want another subscription, read its terms and set a reminder to cancel before the first 30 days end.

Is it worth it?

The answer depends on the month. If the lineup has two or three games you would buy anyway, the first month often pays for itself at list price, and Humble's own pages show the retail prices so you can add them up. If you only want one game, check whether skipping a month, or waiting for a sale, costs less. The Vault and the store discount only matter if you keep the membership active, so treat them as a bonus, not as the reason to subscribe.

For handheld play, our October Humble Choice Steam Deck check covers four featured games and their individual control and setup notes.
