Best early access games in the Steam Summer Sale 2023

Here are our picks for the best early-access games you can find in the Steam Summer Sale 2023.

7 Days to Die

76% off 7 Days to Die this Steam Summer Sale – buy it now for $5.99!

7 Days to Die is an open-world, first-person, sandbox zombie survival game that incorporates elements of base-building, tower defence and of course shooting.

The game has been in Early Access since back in 2013 but it’s not one of those titles that leaves its fanbase in the lurch: it receives regular, major updates, from gameplay to graphical, has an active mod community and remains very popular.

Satisfactory

45% off 7 Satisfactory this Steam Summer Sale – achieve satisfaction for $16.49

As the name might suggest, Satisfactory is a highly satisfying game where you build factories… on an alien planet. Once it gets its claws into you, there are few more addictive games out there.

The game features exploration and combat elements set against beautiful landscapes but is primarily a puzzle and crafting game, one with endless replayability and overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Starship Troopers: Extermination

20% off Starship Troopers: Extermination this Steam Summer Sale – do your part for $19.99!

The world has been crying out for a good FPS take on the Starship Troopers films for years, and finally, with Starship Troopers: Extermination your citizenship can be guaranteed through service in online co-op battles alongside the finest the Mobile Infantry has to offer.

You play with 16 other people, taking objectives, building defences, and fighting off waves of the Arachnid menace with a wide array of weaponry on the planet of Valaka. It’s an ugly planet, it’s a bug planet, and you can nuke it into oblivion!

Ready or Not

20% off Ready or Not this Steam Summer Sale – enforce the law for $31.99

Ready or Not is a fantastic new take on the genre pioneered many years ago by the SWAT series. Taking control of a team of SWAT officers, you and your team are plunged into various environments ranging from gang drug labs to serial killer lairs to active hostage situations, which you have to clear within the remits of of the law (i.e. not blasting everything that moves).

You get flashbangs, pepper spray paint guns, tazers, beanbag shotguns, and of course regular firearms to unleash upon criminal scum and hopefully not civilians in various tense, tactical scenarios.

Demonologist

30% off Demonologist this Steam Summer Sale – exorcise some demons for $10.49

Inspire by the likes of Phasmophobia (also on sale) but with a more cinematic horror film take on the genre, Demonologist is a Co-Op horror game that is sure to put the wind up you.

With up to four other players you need to traverse a haunted house and all its dangers, pick up clues, and finally exorcise the evil presence within it. Not for the faint-hearted.
