Steam's Scream 4 Fest is now live, having launched on October 27. The fourth iteration of the annual event features dozens of deep discounts on a wide variety of horror games and otherwise creepy titles, with Steam offering them just in time for Halloween.
Valve's popular digital storefront has been holding themed Halloween sales for well over a decade. However, it wasn't until 2022 that these annual events were branded as Steam Scream Fests.
All Major Gaming Events You Need To Try For Halloween 2025
Several games are kicking Halloween into full swing this year with a roster of new gaming events. Here are the best ones you need to try.
Steam Scream 4 Fest Now Live Until November 3
Continuing the trend, the fourth Steam Scream Fest has officially kicked off on Monday, October 27. It will run for exactly one week, ending at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm CET on November 3. The sale encompasses over 100 deals on both games and DLC, with discounts reaching up to 90%. As was the case with the first three iterations of the event, the 2025 Scream Fest is largely focused on Halloween-appropriate horror games. However, it also includes deals on titles with a creepy or unsettling atmosphere that aren't necessarily horror experiences—games like Hollow Knight and Don't Starve, currently available at 50% and 75% off, respectively.

Bandai Namco's anime-themed action RPG Code Vein is discounted by 85% in the ongoing sale, lowering its price to $8.99, which translates to $51 in savings. The event also includes a 70% discount on the Premium Edition of Atomic Heart—a $70 reduction. Cronos: The New Dawn is also on sale, with the latest title from the Silent Hill 2 remake developer Bloober Team getting its first ever price cut of 15%. This particular offer extends to all versions of the game, not just the one sold via Steam.
Resident Evil and Silent Hill Strangely Absent from Scream 4 Fest
The Scream 4 Fest also marked the debut of a couple of freebies. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is currently giving away two pieces of Steam DLC: Rush Week Halloween Outfit Pack and Slaughter Family Bloody Skins Pack. While themed Steam sales often feature discounts on major titles, several prominent survival horror franchises such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill are notably absent from the latest Scream Fest.
Three more Steam sale events are confirmed for the remainder of 2025. Animal Fest will run from November 10 to 17, followed by Sports Fest, which begins December 8 and lasts one week. Valve's 2025 Steam Winter Sale is then scheduled to start on December 18 and continue through January 5.
