Hardly remember the last time I stumbled on a deal this sweet, but here we are. Left 4 Dead 2—you know, the zombie chaos game that’s been chewing on our nerves since 2009—is going for less than a buck. Ninety-nine cents, until June 2. Steam’s throwing this deal out there as part of its Zombies vs Vampires Fest. And, oh yeah, the original Left 4 Dead’s in on the fun too, same price.
Anyway, Left 4 Dead 2, fifteen years later, and folks still won’t let it go. Sure, Valve hit a home run (or maybe a zombie’s head?) with that one, scoring a ridiculous 96-97% positive rating. It’s like the community just refuses to move on. I mean, the game even shoved a chainsaw and baseball bat at us to make zombie-slaying a hands-on activity. Weirdly personal and thrilling, I’d say.
So get this—add L4D2 to your Steam collection for a dirt-cheap price this week. At 99 cents, it’s like buying a candy bar, except this is way cooler and lasts longer. And it’s Steam Deck Verified, so you can bash zombie heads on the go, if that’s your thing. The first game’s same deal, folks. Two solid games for just under two bucks. Madness, right?
Currently, there’s also this buzzing fan petition wanting Microsoft to toss the L4D series onto their Game Pass. Not sure if Microsoft’s even batting an eye, but hey, players are hopeful. With the game’s cost on Steam being cheaper than a Game Pass membership, who knows what Microsoft will cook up?
And speaking of deals on Steam, there’s this ongoing sale that’s making wallet-emptying feel like a bargain hunter’s dream. Like, Red Dead Redemption 2 is also up for grabs at a discount. Mixed emotions here though—will the sale pull in fresh blood to wreck zombies in L4D2? Only time will spill that tea.
It’s wild how a zombie-smashing game can stay relevant this long. And here I am, rambling about a sale… maybe I should grab that deal before it’s gone. If I can find my wallet amidst this chaos.
