Summary
- Left 4 Dead 2 is 90% off on Steam at 99 cents until June 2.
- The discount is part of Steam's Zombies vs Vampires Fest sale.
- The original Left 4 Dead is also available for 99 cents.
Left 4 Dead 2 has been marked down by 90%, available for 99 cents, until June 2 as part of the ongoing Steam Zombies vs Vampires Fest sale. Although Left 4 Dead 2 has been on the market for over 15 years, Valve's team-based zombie horror game remains one of the platform's most highly rated games, with an overwhelmingly positive score of 96 to 97%.
Originally released in November 2009, Left 4 Dead 2 is both a sequel and an enhanced remake of the first Left 4 Dead game. Following the outstanding success of its predecessor, Left 4 Dead 2 included all the first game's content and introduced new weapons, like the chainsaw and baseball bat, to give players more close-range options for fighting off hordes of zombies. Despite Left 4 Dead 2 celebrating 15 years of service on Steam, the game continues to draw in dedicated players and newcomers, and its status as one of the best co-op horror games on PC is a testament to its legacy.
Rumor: Half-Life 3 Could Be the 'Final Chapter' in the Franchise
A known insider suggests that Half-Life 3's long-awaited arrival might bring the end of the Half-Life franchise alongside it.
For the next week, PC gamers looking to add Left 4 Dead 2 to their Steam catalogs have an excellent chance to do so at an eye-catching price. Left 4 Dead 2 is currently 90% off on Steam until June 2 as part of the ongoing Zombies vs Vampires Fest. The discount puts Left 4 Dead 2 at 99 cents before any applicable taxes and fees are factored in. This low price point is only matched by the first Left 4 Dead game, meaning Steam users can spend a combined $1.98 and add both entries to their collections. Both Left 4 Dead titles are also Steam Deck Verified, offering players a feasible way to experience two of the best co-op horror shooter games on the go.
Left 4 Dead 2 Is Now Available For 99 Cents
The discount on Left 4 Dead 2 came as an ongoing fan petition calling for Microsoft to add the Left 4 Dead games to Xbox Game Pass continued to gain traction. Though Left 4 Dead 2's price on Steam is less than the cost of a Game Pass subscription, it remains to be seen if Microsoft will respond to players' requests to add the best-selling zombie title to its Game Pass repertoire.
Between the ongoing Zombies vs Vampires Fest sale and a steep discount on the critically acclaimed Red Dead Redemption 2, Steam users have plenty of titles to purchase while simultaneously saving some money. Only time will tell if the sale will impact how many new players Left 4 Dead 2 gets.

WHERE TO PLAY
Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008. This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns.
You'll play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating array of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you'll also get a chance to take out some aggression on infected with a variety of carnage-creating melee weapons, from chainsaws to axes and even the deadly frying pan. You'll be putting these weapons to the test against (or playing as in Versus) three horrific and formidable new Special Infected. You'll also encounter five new uncommon common infected, including the terrifying Mudmen. Helping to take L4D's frantic, action-packed gameplay to the next level is AI Director 2.0. This improved Director has the ability to procedurally change the weather you'll fight through and the pathways you'll take, in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match your performance. L4D2 promises a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience every time the game is played, custom-fitted to your style of play.
