Street Fighter 6 and Silent Hill 2 headline Steam’s 2026 Golden Week sales
Steam’s 2026 Golden Week sale is underway through May 4, with extended discounts on select titles running through May 5 or 6. While the promotion features a smaller catalog of discounted games compared to previous years, notably absent are major publishers like Square Enix, which are offering no discounts during the event.
Street Fighter 6 and Silent Hill 2 are among the sale’s headline titles. Street Fighter 6 stands out as an accessible entry point for fighting game newcomers, featuring a robust single-player World Tour mode that teaches mechanics beyond basic moves. The game offers multiple control mode options, allowing players to find a configuration that suits their playstyle and skill level before engaging in online competition.
The sale represents a significant opportunity for players to acquire recent releases at favorable prices, though the reduced participation from major publishers suggests a shift in promotional strategies during Steam’s Golden Week event this year.
