Steam Survival RPG With Great Reviews Has Hit Its Lowest Price to Date

By newsgame

Popular survival RPG and PlayStation 5 console exclusive V Rising has hit a new all-time low price on Steam. The latest deal allows players to grab Stunlock Studios’ latest title for just $15.74, but only for a limited time. This V Rising discount has been active since the start of the Steam Winter Sale 2025, and it’s a great opportunity to pick it up before it returns to full price.

V Rising initially launched exclusively on PC, arriving on Early Access in May 2022. During its development, V Rising made good use of Early Access, polishing and improving the game over two years. Upon its full release in May 2024, it was met with positive reviews from critics. Over on Metacritic, the game has a Metascore of 83, and received the exact same Top Critic Average over on OpenCritic, too. The game itself is a vampire action RPG with survival elements, where players “awaken as a weakened Vampire after centuries of slumber” and explore a “gothic open-world,” gathering resources to build their castle. Players must hunt through the night, like a true vampire, and stick to the shadows to avoid turning to ash. It’s an action RPG with a twist.

These Are The Best-Selling and Most-Played Steam Games at the Start of 2026

As gamers prepare for more new releases on Steam in 2026, these are the games that are already making an impact on the platform.

V Rising Hits New All-Time Low Steam Price

Players can head to Steam right now and grab V Rising for just $15.74, a steep 55% discount from its full price tag of $34.99. Historically, this just about beats its previous all-time low of $15.99, which it fell to in March 2024 prior to its release from Early Access. However, its previous low post-full release was $17.49, so this discount has that beat. Interested players need to act fast; the discount is only available until the end of the Steam Winter Sale 2025, which concludes on January 5. However, those who miss out don’t need to worry too much. Its sales history suggests that V Rising is frequently discounted, and while this is a new historically low price, it shouldn’t be too long before the game is available at a discount again.

There are some other V Rising-related discounts during the Steam Winter Sale that players should be looking to take advantage of. The game’s DLC packs are all 20% off, including the Sinister Evolution Pack ($7.99), Legacy of Castlevania Premium Pack ($15.99), Eternal Dominance Pack ($15.99), Dracula’s Relics Pack ($7.99), and Founder’s Pack: Eldest Bloodline ($23.99). While not quite as steep as the base game, they’re still notable drops until January 5.

As a title with heavy multiplayer elements, gamers looking at V Rising don’t need to be concerned about potential population issues. Not only did V Rising initially pass a ton of impressive sales milestones, but the game has done a really good job at keeping players around post-launch. At the time of writing, V Rising has a 24-hour concurrent player peak of 11,502, and this is not too far from the norm for the game. Gamers will never be stuck for other players to enjoy V Rising with.

As the Steam Winter Sale draws to a close, it’s worth noting other steep discounts that gamers may be interested in. 10 TGA 2025 award winners are at historically low prices on Steam, allowing players to enjoy the best last year had to offer at the steepest discounts yet. There are also some incredible 90% off discounts, including Hogwarts Legacy ($5.99), Assassin’s Creed Valhalla ($5.99), LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga ($4.99), and Detroit: Become Human ($3.99). All must-play games at must-have prices.
