There’s a Left 4 Dead 2 sale happening on Steam right now, and while that’s nothing to be surprised about, what is surprising is the HUGE discount on an already affordable game—it feels like they’re giving it for free!
The awesome co-op zombie-apocalypse first-person shooter game, Left 4 Dead 2, is now available at only 99 cents, thanks to its 90% discount on Steam. Left 4 Dead 2, with an abbreviation of L4D2, is over 15 years old, but its community is still very much alive. Yes, believe it or not, the game has some very active and loyal players regardless of how long it has been since its first release date.
Now, let’s take some time to go through the details of this big discount sale for one of the most beloved zombie games in the world!
What Is Left 4 Dead 2?
Left 4 Dead 2 is a cooperative first-person shooter game in which players work together to survive intense zombie outbreaks. You battle through hordes of infected utilizing various weapons and teamwork throughout multiple missions. It’s a fast-paced, action-packed game about surviving zombie waves with friends or AI colleagues.
Mods are one of the main reasons why the game is still so alive. The community is so talented with the custom maps that they can come up with, people are still having fun with the game even to this day. Of course, not every map is created equal, some maps aren’t bad they just don’t have the “oomph!” to be memorable enough, but they’re all bangers to play.
Over 15 Years of Zombie-Killing Fun With Friends or By Yourself
The world first experienced playing Left 4 Dead 2 way, way, waaaaayyyy back in November of 2009. It had big shoes to fill (being the sequel to its highly successful predecessor, Left 4 Dead) sure, but L4D2 was able to deliver and even surpass L4D by a mile.
What the developers did was keep every single content of the first game and added in lots of brand new weapons gamers can play with. The melee weapons, like baseball bats and chainsaws, were what really stepped the game up. Having the means to fight off the undead horde without having to worry about your limited ammo was an exciting addition to the game.
Avid players of L4D2 are still having fun with the game and are adding new maps, mods, skins, and more to make the gameplay fresh and exciting. The game is still even getting new players despite its age, which serves as a testament to how good of a game it is and that it’s deserving of its status as one of the best multiplayer/co-op zombie shooter horror games.

Speaking of vampires, Vampire Survivors also has a discount of 20%. Yes, that’s 20% off, that puts the game at $3.99. And with this Steam fest, everyone can buy and start playing L4D2 at a very low price.
Why Did Steam Decide to Have a L4D2 Cheap Sale?
As it turns out, the discount was initiated by a petition from fans asking Microsoft to include the L4D titles in the Xbox Game Pass. The petition gained lots of traction, which eventually captured Steam’s attention, and then allowed their customers to buy the games super cheaply.
Though the price of L4D2 in the Steam sale is significantly lower than the monthly subscription of an Xbox Game Pass, only time will tell if Microsoft will respond to the people’s petition.
Amidst the ongoing “Zombies versus Vampires Fest” that brought the Left 4 Dead 2 sale and enormous savings on the highly praised Red Dead Redemption 2, Steam players have plenty of titles to choose from while also saving money. However, we’re going to have to wait for a bit to see if the deal has an influence on the number of new players for Left 4 Dead 2.
