The Deluxe Edition also sees a 40% reduction, including eight DLC packs, a digital artbook, soundtrack, and the Atlus 35th Digital History Book.

Fans of the Persona series can revisit or discover Persona 3 Reload, the definitive remake of the genre-defining classic that blends daily life with dungeon-crawling now refreshed with modern visuals and quality-of-life improvements.
Those looking for a cozy yet impactful mystery can dive into Persona 4 Golden, joining a group of high school friends in rural Japan as they unravel supernatural murders while navigating friendships and personal growth.
For a more contemporary setting, Persona 5 Royal offers an unforgettable journey with the Phantom Thieves as they steal the hearts of the corrupt across Tokyo, blending stylish turn-based combat with life-sim elements. The high-energy sequel Persona 5 Strikers swaps turn-based battles for fast-paced, Warriors-style action while continuing the Phantom Thieves’ story on a road trip across Japan.
Meanwhile, Persona 5 Tactica brings a fresh twist to the series with tactical grid-based battles, allowing players to lead the Phantom Thieves in a fight for freedom with clever positioning and strategic planning.
For a darker narrative, there’s Shin Megami Tensei III HD Nocturne, a remastered classic that challenges players to survive a post-apocalyptic Tokyo filled with demons and philosophical choices, while Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance expands the series with new story routes and improvements, offering a refined experience in demon fusion and turn-based battles. And let’s not forget Dungeon-crawling Etrian Odyssey HD Trilogy, where hand-drawn maps and deep exploration meet challenging battles in beautifully remastered labyrinths.
Part of the sales is also Soul Hackers 2, a deep experience, offering slick turn-based combat and a story about preventing the apocalypse in a cyberpunk world.
But, it’s not only Metaphor and the ATLUS titles, you can also take advantage of this huge discount to explore Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, now at its deepest discount of 60% off across all editions, alongside the action-focused Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, which receives its first Steam discount at 30% off (Standard) and 35% off (Deluxe).
The Deluxe Edition includes bonus content, including character outfits, ship customization options, and a new karaoke song for those who enjoy Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s signature mini-game chaos.
The SEGA Steam Summer Sale runs until Thursday, July 10, and in my opinion, this is the perfect chance to lock down these heavy hitters.
