Latest Steam Sale Discounts Xbox Game Studios Hits: Halo, Gears, Ori, And More

Multiple digital storefronts--Switch Eshop, Epic, Xbox Store, and PlayStation Store--have massive Spring Sales going on right now. While there's no hint that Steam will join in on the Spring Sale fun this year, the PC games storefront has a pretty great sale right now anyway. Xbox Game Studios titles are up to 75% off on Steam, which means you can get titles from Microsoft's most well-known franchises for cheap. The Xbox Game Studios publisher sale only runs until April 6, so you'll have to make your selections fairly quickly.

Two of Microsoft's tentpole franchises, Gears of War and Halo, have received nice discounts. Gears 5 is 50% off at $30, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection is $32 (was $40). The Master Chief Collection includes six Halo games, but at this time only Halo: Reach and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary are playable; the rest will be added later this year on PC. You can also grab Halo Wars: Definitive Edition for $8 and Halo: Spartan Assault and Spartan Strike for $1.19 each.

Strategy game fans can save big on the Age of Empires franchise. Age of Empires: Definitive Edition and Age of Empires III Complete are both on sale for $10. Meanwhile, a pair of great Xbox Game Studios action titles, Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive, are also discounted to $10 each.

Select titles from recently acquired Microsoft studios are featured in the sale, too. Ninja Theory's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is $10.19 (was $30) and Wasteland 2: Director's Cut is $12 (was $30).

If you're looking for a new side-scroller to play, a pair of gorgeous adventures are on sale for incredible prices. Ori and the Blind Forest is $5 (was $20) and Dust: An Elysian Tale is just $3.74 (was $15).
