Bandai Namco’s Tales Anniversary Sale Drops Two Classic JRPGs to Their Lowest Steam Prices
Bandai Namco is celebrating 30 years of the Tales series with a Steam sale that is especially tempting for JRPG fans. Two beloved entries, Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition and Tales of Symphonia, are now available at their lowest recorded prices on Steam, making this one of the best times to jump into the long-running role-playing franchise.
The promotion is part of the Tales of Series 30th Anniversary Sale and runs through June 24, 2026.
Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is currently priced at $9.99, an 80% discount from its usual $49.99 price. According to Steam price history data, this matches the lowest price the game has ever reached on the platform.
Originally released in 2008 for Xbox 360, Tales of Vesperia returned in 2019 with its Definitive Edition, bringing the fan-favorite adventure to modern platforms with upgraded visuals and expanded content. This version includes two additional playable characters, new boss fights, extra mini-games, and a large collection of costume DLC that was not available in the original Western release.
The game follows a sweeping story centered on two friends whose paths become tied to a conflict over the Empire’s control of ancient technology. With its real-time action combat, colorful cast, and classic anime-inspired presentation, Tales of Vesperia remains one of the most popular entries in the series.
On Steam, Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition has earned a “Very Positive” user rating from more than 4,000 reviews, with approval sitting close to 79%. It is also Steam Deck Verified, supports local co-op, and includes both English and Japanese voice options.
Tales of Symphonia is also part of the sale, dropping to $4.99 after a 75% discount from its regular $19.99 price. This is also its lowest recorded Steam price.
First released on GameCube in 2003, Tales of Symphonia is often considered one of the defining JRPGs of its era. The Steam version, which launched in 2016, is based on the PlayStation 3 release and includes full controller support, local co-op, and Steam Deck Verified compatibility.
Known for its cel-shaded art style, emotional story, and lengthy campaign, Tales of Symphonia can easily offer more than 80 hours of gameplay. Its world, characters, and combat system helped introduce many players to the Tales franchise, and it remains a strong starting point for newcomers who want to experience one of the series’ most influential games.
The PC version holds a strong user reputation on Steam, with more than 5,000 reviews and an approval rating of around 83%.
For players looking to explore classic Japanese role-playing games on PC, this sale is hard to ignore. Tales of Symphonia at under five dollars and Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition at under ten dollars make for a strong pair of affordable RPG adventures, especially since both are currently sitting at their lowest Steam prices.
Whether you are new to the franchise or returning to revisit two of its most memorable entries, Bandai Namco’s anniversary sale offers a budget-friendly way to experience the charm, action, and storytelling that have kept the Tales series alive for three decades.
