PC Game Deals Worth Knowing About — October 2026

Hogwarts Legacy, Monster Hunter Rise, Mortal Kombat 11, two free Epic games and several substantial collections lead this cross-store October roundup.

October's strongest PC offers cover much more than the cheapest games on the page. This roundup starts with recognizable adventures, fighters and role-playing games, then makes room for free games, substantial collections and a few deeper discounts that deserve attention.

Hogwarts Legacy opens the blockbuster group

Hogwarts Legacy is currently $5.99 on Steam, a 90% reduction from its regular $59.99 price. Its version of Hogwarts is built for wandering: hidden rooms, classroom spells, surrounding villages and the Scottish Highlands turn the school into the center of a much larger open-world adventure.

Monster Hunter Rise is another dramatic entry point at $3.56 through GameBillet. Its hunts are faster and more mobile than earlier Monster Hunter games: Wirebugs launch hunters through the air, Palamutes carry them across the map and fourteen weapon types support very different approaches to every monster.

Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is $8.99 on Steam. The Ultimate edition combines the cinematic story, Aftermath expansion and an expanded fighter roster, making it a much more complete destination than an isolated character pack or base-game listing.

Deus Ex and Metro make excellent low-cost worlds

Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director's Cut is $1.99, while Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is $2.99. Human Revolution introduces Adam Jensen's transformation and a world divided over augmentation. Mankind Divided sharpens the stealth, hacking and hub exploration, rewarding players who search apartments, ventilation routes and computer systems instead of following only the objective marker.

Metro 2033 Redux is $1.99 on GOG. Its ruined Moscow tunnels feel intimate and dangerous: ammunition can double as currency, filters limit time on the surface and each station has its own politics, routines and fears. Redux modernizes the original without sanding away its survival-horror identity.

Disco Elysium and Spiritfarer slow everything down

Disco Elysium – The Final Cut is $9.99 on GOG. Instead of conventional combat, it builds its detective story from conversations, internal voices, political ideas and failed dice rolls. Its best moments often come from mistakes that open an unexpected path rather than ending the investigation.

Spiritfarer is $4.49. It pairs gentle management and platforming with stories about caring for spirits during the final stretch of their journeys. Building Stella's boat, cooking favorite meals and visiting new islands make the farewells feel personal rather than abstract.

Collections offer more than one campaign

Homeworld Remastered Collection is $4.73 at Green Man Gaming. Its enormous fleets move through fully three-dimensional space, and its persistent campaign carries surviving ships from one mission into the next. The collection includes remastered versions of Homeworld and Homeworld 2 alongside the classic releases.

BATTLETECH Mercenary Collection is $12.59 on GOG, reduced from $89.99. It combines the turn-based mercenary campaign with the major expansions, adding more machines, missions and tactical possibilities to a game already built around repairing, customizing and risking an expensive roster of BattleMechs.

Fanatical's October Platinum Collection supplies a different kind of value. Its build-your-own format lets players assemble a smaller set from the live catalog, with simulations, RPGs, roguelikes and deckbuilders sharing the same collection.

Two very different games are free on Epic

Bad Cheese and Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise are free from the Epic Games Store through October 22. Bad Cheese is a hand-drawn psychological horror game with an unsettling cartoon surface. Agent A is a lighter point-and-click spy adventure built around hidden mechanisms, visual clues and elaborate rooms.

Gamesplanet's publisher sales widen the field

Gamesplanet's current Capcom promotion brings Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma 2 and Pragmata together, while its Nacon promotion moves from Hell is Us and RoboCop: Rogue City to Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. These pages are useful when the headline games above are not the genre someone wants—the wider catalog adds horror, action RPGs, shooters and stranger adventures without turning the roundup into a wall of tiny price tiles.

The shortlist

Hogwarts Legacy is the easiest blockbuster recommendation, Monster Hunter Rise offers the deepest action bargain, and the two Deus Ex games provide remarkable role-playing value for less than five dollars together. Metro and Disco Elysium lead the atmospheric choices, while Homeworld and BATTLETECH are the substantial collection picks. Epic's pair costs nothing, but it still offers two genuinely different reasons to play this week.
