Steam Drops Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain to 99 Cents During Promo

Steam has launched a sharply discounted promotion for one of Quantic Dream’s most recognizable narrative thrillers on PC, pricing Heavy Rain at a level that’s hard to ignore—even compared with many smaller independent releases. The deal runs for several days, and the game is available as the full version, permanently tied to your Steam library once purchased.

Heavy Rain’s premise is built around branching player choices

Heavy Rain, developed by Quantic Dream under the direction of David Cage, is designed around how player decisions can meaningfully shape outcomes. Over the course of roughly four days of story time, players shift between four different protagonists, making choices that can alter what happens next.

  • Two playthroughs don’t necessarily lead to the same result.
  • Not every action carries equal weight, and mistakes can significantly redirect the path to the ending.

Steam deal: Heavy Rain drops to 0.99 euros (Steam Deck verified)

The current promotion places Heavy Rain on Steam for 0.99 euros. The sale is scheduled to end on 17 August 2026 at 19:00, after which the game is expected to return to its standard price.

  • Price during the promotion: 0.99 €
  • End time: 17 August 2026 at 19:00

  • After buying, the game remains permanently available in your Steam library.

When the discount ends

If you want the deal, the key date to watch is 17 August 2026 at 19:00, when Heavy Rain is set to change pricing again and return to its usual cost.
