Sons of the Forest has returned to its lowest recorded Steam price, with a 70% discount reducing the survival game to $8.99. The promotion is scheduled to end on September 7 at 10 a.m. PT, giving interested players a limited window to secure the game at that price. The news was reported by Gamerant.
The $8.99 offer is not a new record, but it matches the lowest price previously offered for the game on Steam. Sons of the Forest most recently reached the same price during the Summer Steam Sale, making the current promotion another chance to buy it at the platform’s historical low.
The Steam discount matches the game’s lowest price
Steam’s 70% discount takes Sons of the Forest down to $8.99. According to the available pricing information, the game has never been sold for less on Valve’s PC storefront.
That distinction is important for players who have been waiting for the deepest documented discount rather than purchasing during a smaller promotion. Although the game has reached $8.99 before, the fact pack provides no information about when another equivalent sale might occur after the September 7 deadline.
The discount covers a game with a substantial body of player feedback. Sons of the Forest holds a “Very Positive” Steam review average based on more than 100,000 English-language reviews. That rating reflects Steam user reviews rather than a professional critical score.
The Forest is also included in the promotion
The same sale period includes The Forest, the preceding game from Endnight Games. It is discounted by 78% to $4.39 on Steam, and its offer is also due to end on September 7 at 10 a.m. PT.
Players considering both games would therefore find each title discounted during the same window. The available information confirms the individual prices and discount percentages, but it does not identify a separate bundle price or an additional discount for purchasing them together.
How Sons of the Forest has been received
Developed by Endnight Games and published by Newnight, Sons of the Forest was released on February 22, 2024. It is categorized across the survival, open-world, and survival-horror genres.
Professional reviews have been broadly positive as well. OpenCritic lists a top-critic average of 78 out of 100, alongside an 86% critic recommendation rate. Those figures use OpenCritic’s aggregated critical-review methodology and are separate from the “Very Positive” average shown by Steam’s user-review system.
Taken together, the Steam and OpenCritic figures provide two different views of the game’s reception: one based on a large pool of player reviews and another compiled from professional critics. Neither score determines whether the game will suit a particular player, but both add useful context to a discount matching the lowest Steam price recorded for the title.
When the Steam sale ends
The discounts for both Sons of the Forest and The Forest are scheduled to expire on September 7 at 10 a.m. PT. Until that cutoff, the listed sale prices are $8.99 and $4.39, respectively.
For Sons of the Forest, the central point is not that the game has set a new pricing record, but that it has again matched its existing low. Players comparing the offer against earlier Steam promotions can treat $8.99 as the lowest verified price included in the supplied pricing history.
