In this guide, we shall go over five of the best survival horror games that you can buy in the Steam Summer Sale 2025.
The survival horror genre has experienced a resurgence over the last decade or so, returning to prominence in the mainstream. What separates survival horror from pure horror is its survival tag. You’re given tools to defend yourselves in these games, but the resources are either scarce or the enemies are unkillable.
A perfect survival horror game blends and balances both survival and horror elements perfectly, and the Steam Summer Sale 2025 seems to have quite a few of those on sale. If you’ve been itching to dive into a survival horror experience, the Steam Summer Sale 2025 may just be the best time to pick one up.
Below, we’ve listed five of the best survival horror games you can pick up on sale right now. We’ve also listed their original price and sale price to give you a better idea of the extent of the sale.

1) Resident Evil 4 Remake
Original Price: $39.99
Steam Summer Sale 2025 Price: $19.99
Resident Evil 4 is one of the greatest survival horror games of all time, and its 2023 remake raises the bar even higher. RE4 Remake takes everything you know and love about the original and modernizes it with crisp controls and stellar graphics.
The RE Engine is state-of-the-art, too, and the game will run smoothly if you meet its minimum requirements. While RE4 Remake does lean towards action, its modernized visuals help amplify the horror and atmosphere, making this one a must-pick.
2) Dead Space Remake
Original Price: $59.99
Steam Summer Sale 2025 Price: $11.99
Dead Space perfectly blends in Lovecraftian body horror with sci-fi elements. You play as Isaac Clarke, an engineer sent to the Ishimura after it sent out an SOS Beacon and went radio silent. The moment you step foot into the ship, you know something is not right, and the game plays on this fear every single time you enter a new room.
You get powerful space tech to fight the threats you face, yet not once do you truly feel powerful enough to take them on. The oppressive atmosphere paired with a dangerous enemy across every corner (or vent) makes this a love letter to survival horror.

3) Silent Hill 2 Remake
Original Price: $69.99
Steam Summer Sale 2025 Price: $41.99
While most other games on this list prey on your fear of being hunted and killed, the Silent Hill 2 Remake preys on the dark secrets residing in your mind. Silent Hill 2 is a masterclass in psychological horror, amplified by its suffocating foggy atmosphere.
There’s fog everywhere, and you never know what silhouette might pop out in the distance. James, too, is one of the physically weakest protagonists in survival horror, and you never truly feel confident turning a corner in this one.
4) Amnesia: The Bunker
Original Price: $24.99
Steam Summer Sale 2025 Price: $7.49
The original Amnesia kicked off an era of horror gaming content creators on YouTube. The game was always focused purely on horror with no survival elements. You were defenseless, and death was only a matter of when, not if.
With Amnesia: The Bunker, developer Frictional Games toyed with the idea of empowering you with a gun, incorporating tons of survival horror elements. There’s inventory management, ammo is scarce, a map with tons of locked doors, and puzzles, and an unkillable stalker hunting you inside a bunker.

5) Alien Isolation
Original Price: $39.99
Steam Summer Sale 2025 Price: $9.99
The Alien IP rampantly saw its fear factor decline over the decades, with the Xenomorphs being mere fodder in much of the later movies. Alien Isolation brought this fear back into the IP by putting you in the shoes of Amanda Ripley. Amanda is no soldier and has to traverse across a spaceship while being hunted by the alien. You can’t kill the alien, but resource management and puzzles remain a crucial aspect of survival in Alien Isolation.
