Dead Island 2 is down to $7 on Steam right now, and that price covers the base game plus all of its DLC on the PC storefront. Dambuster Studios developed the game and Deep Silver published it, with the action set in Los Angeles, where a deadly zombie virus turns bitten or scratched people into zombies. For players who’ve been waiting for a cheap way in, this is the kind of sale that makes the whole package much easier to justify.

The timing matters because Dead Island 3 is already on the horizon, with Dambuster Studios saying in an end-of-year financial report that it’s set for 2028. That gives Dead Island 2 a clearer purpose than a typical bargain-bin pickup: it’s not just a discount, it’s a chance to catch up on the series before the next game arrives. If you like co-op zombie carnage, this is an easy entry point.
About Dead Island 2
Dambuster Studios developed Dead Island 2 and Deep Silver published it for PC on Steam. The game takes place in Los Angeles, where the zombie outbreak drives the story and pushes players to uncover the truth behind the virus while making hard choices to survive. That setup keeps the action grounded in one city, which helps the game lean harder into its chaos instead of constantly shifting to new locations.
Dead Island 2 also bills itself as a bloody and brutal co-op sandbox game. That matters because the appeal isn’t just the story beats or the setting; it’s the messy, physical combat and the ability to tear through zombies with a friend at your side. The game’s tone is part grim survival tale, part splatter comedy, and that mix is a big reason it still stands out when it goes on sale.
