What 4X strategy games are currently on sale in 2025? Whether set amongst the stars, grounded in real history, or taking us to fantasy realms, the subgenre not only has a rich history but also continues to remain active in both the AAA and indie space.

With the looming threat of increasing game prices on the horizon, keeping track of the 4x strategy games on sale in 2025 is a great way to get the most bang for your buck. And, with storefronts like Steam, Humble, the Epic Game Store, and Gog.com regularly slashing prices on titles both niche and popular, this article aims to round up the currently active sales, so you can more easily decide which games get added to your library next.

4X Strategy Games Sales 2025

When looking for notable 4X strategy games sales throughout 2025, your best bet is to wait for the major sales hosted by storefronts like Steam and the Epic Games Store. They often include the chunkiest discounts on a range of titles, even outside of the strategy genre, although there have been quite a few exceptions in the past.

That’s why keeping tabs on the smaller sales throughout the year is just as good an idea. Whether we’re talking Steam fests, publisher-led events, or deals targeting single games, there are plenty of opportunities to grab titles that’ll keep you busy for hours on end without having to spend the full price.

At the moment, 2025’s Steam 4X Fest is the best place to find deals on games in the subgenre since, as its name blatantly suggest, it is mainly dedicated to this particular slice of the strategy pie.

Running until August 18 at 10 AM PT/6 PM BST, it discounts titles like SpellForce: Conquest of Eo, with its blend of 4X and RPG elements, greats like Sid Meier’s Civilization V, as well as newer releases such as Ara: History Untold and Zephon. Below, you’ll find a list of games and discounts that caught our eye:
