Steam Deals October 2026: Cyberpunk, RDR2 and Halo

Steam's US store lists Cyberpunk 2077 at $17.99, Red Dead Redemption 2 at $14.99 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection at $9.99 on October 14, 2026. The discounts are 70%, 75% and 75% respectively. Halo ends October 19, Red Dead ends October 22, and Cyberpunk ends October 26. Check your own store region before buying: the dollar prices here are US prices.

Cyberpunk 2077: check the expansion separately

Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam is the open-world action RPG set in Night City. The $17.99 offer covers the base game. Phantom Liberty has its own store listing, so do not assume the expansion is included because a trailer or screenshot shows content from the wider series.

This is the pick I would shortlist for someone who wants a futuristic setting and an RPG to spend several sessions with. That is a recommendation based on the game's format, not a performance test of this sale build. Read the current requirements against your graphics card and available storage before deciding that a low price makes it an easy purchase.

The older teaser below introduces Cyberpunk's tone. It predates the released game, so use the current Steam listing to check what your selected edition includes rather than treating the footage as a current feature list.

Red Dead Redemption 2: compare the edition names

Red Dead Redemption 2's Steam page discounts the standard game to $14.99. It follows Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang as they try to survive pursuit across the American heartland. Steam also lists an Ultimate Edition, which is a separate purchase choice.

For a player choosing between these two open worlds, setting is a better starting point than discount size. Pick the western if the gang's story is the one you want to follow. Pick Cyberpunk if you would rather spend that time in Night City. Buying both only helps if you actually want two substantial games waiting in your library.

Rockstar's PC launch trailer shows the PC presentation. It is an older promotional video and does not establish how either game will run on your particular hardware. Look at the current store requirements and account notices before paying, especially if you are buying for a secondary computer.

Halo MCC: the cheapest of these three offers

The Master Chief Collection brings six Halo games together for PC. The $9.99 collection is the lowest-priced option in this shortlist, and its October 19 cutoff comes before the other two. Check that the cart contains the collection you want rather than an individual game entry.

Halo makes the most sense here if you want a collection of shooters instead of another open-world RPG. The number of included games can be appealing, but it should not substitute for wanting to play them. If you are arranging sessions with friends, agree on the exact game and platform first.

Check the cart before the deadline

At the listed US prices, Halo plus Red Dead costs $24.98. That pair fits a $25 budget before any applicable checkout adjustments. Cyberpunk plus Halo comes to $27.98, while Cyberpunk plus Red Dead comes to $32.98. Those combinations make the spending decision clearer than comparing the percentage badges alone.

Buying all three would cost $42.97 against a combined regular list price of $159.97. That is a $117 difference, but I would still start with the game I expect to install first. An unused discount leaves you with less money for the release you actually want next. Compare those cart totals with your budget before adding a second game just because it looks inexpensive beside the first.

These offers have their own deadlines after the Autumn Sale. Use each offer card's time rather than carrying over a date from an earlier sale. If none suits your budget, our Steam calendar lists the next announced events. For something to try without buying, see the October Next Fest schedule.
