Have you given Elden Ring a try yet? If not, you're missing out. People have clocked thousands of hours into it, and with DLC continuously adding new elements to the game, it's a must-have for people who enjoy FromSoftware RPGs and difficult games.

If you're still on the fence about playing Elden Ring, we have some excellent news for you. The RPG is currently on sale at 40% off for this Steam Summer Sale, and while it's not the first time we've seen Elden Ring's price drop that low, it's still tied for the lowest the price has ever gone on Steam's storefront.

Why you should grab Elden Ring during this Steam Summer Sale

If this is the first you've heard of it, Elden Ring is from the famous RPG developer FromSoftware. If you've ever seen someone get mad while playing Dark Souls, you're already familiar with how tough FromSoftware games can get. Elden Ring continues the trend as an open-world RPG where you can explore a fantasy realm, prod at bosses, and try not to get brutally killed, which is very much easier said than done.

Here's how the game's store page describes it:

The Lands Between are part of a vast continent where magnificent open fields and huge dungeons with complex and three-dimensional designs are seamlessly connected. As you explore, the joy of discovering unknown and overwhelming threats awaits you. Mastery of the terrain and knowledge of its secrets can help you overcome enemies and defeat formidable bosses or lead invading players into traps.

Elden Ring has won a ton of accolades since its release in 2022. It won Game of the Year at the Game Awards, and took both the "Game of the Year" and the "Best Game You Suck At" award during the 2022 Steam awards. Our sister site, TheGamer, also loved it, giving it a full five stars with no negatives in its review.

Despite having a few years under its belt, people still love it, partially due to its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC adding more content. The base game currently sits at 91% positive recent reviews, and while the DLC is not on discount, you should still get hundreds of hours of content with the vanilla experience. So, if you've been thinking about snapping it up, now's a great time to grab it before the price returns to full on July 10th.
