Steep Hits Its Lowest Steam Price Ever With 95% Off for a Limited Time
Ubisoft’s open-world winter sports game Steep has reached a new all-time low on Steam, dropping to just $1.49 thanks to a massive 95% discount. The deal is available until October 1, making this one of the cheapest chances yet to explore the game’s snowy mountain playground.
Steep turns the Alps into a huge open-world destination built for skiing, snowboarding, wingsuit flying, and paragliding. Instead of forcing players onto fixed race tracks, the game gives you a mountain and lets you decide how to get down. You can carve through powder, launch from cliffs, glide dangerously close to rock faces, or take a slower scenic route through the skies.
A free update later added Alaska as another playable region, giving players even more frozen terrain to explore. With its wide-open structure, Steep appeals not only to competitive players chasing medals but also to those who simply want to enjoy the atmosphere of a massive winter sports sandbox.
The game offers a mix of activities across its snowy landscapes. Players can tackle time trials, trick challenges, wingsuit courses, and downhill events, or ignore the objectives entirely and create their own routes from peak to valley. Once drop zones are discovered, they can be used as fast-travel points, making it easier to jump back into the action without repeatedly climbing the same slopes.
Steep also supports online play with up to three friends, allowing groups to explore the mountains together. Whether racing side by side, performing tricks, or casually cruising through the open world, the multiplayer option adds another layer to the experience.
When Steep launched in December 2016, it received praise for its impressive mountain environments, strong sense of speed, and challenging but fair activities. The wingsuit sections stood out for their intensity, while skiing and snowboarding delivered a satisfying feeling of momentum across steep snowy terrain.
However, the game has also had some criticism over the years. Common complaints include the always-online requirement, a multiplayer system that some players felt could have been deeper, and limited long-term progression. Most unlockable gear is cosmetic, and the game does not regularly introduce major new tricks or abilities as players progress.
Despite those drawbacks, Steep remains well-liked by many players. On Steam, more than 33,000 user reviews have resulted in an 82% positive rating. The game also holds a Metascore of 71, while its user score sits at 6.5 based on a smaller number of ratings.
The current Steam discount is especially notable because Steep usually costs close to $30. Previous sales had reportedly gone as high as 90% off, but this 95% discount brings the game below the $2 mark for the first time. For players interested in open-world sports games, skiing games, snowboarding games, or wingsuit flying, this makes Steep a very low-cost pickup.
Steam Deck users should note that Steep is listed as “Playable,” meaning it can run on Valve’s handheld, though some elements may require small adjustments or extra input compared to a fully verified title.
For just $1.49, Steep offers a large snowy open world, multiple extreme sports, solo exploration, co-op mountain sessions, and plenty of high-speed downhill action. Anyone looking for a cheap winter sports game on Steam may want to grab it before the sale ends on October 1.
