Eight Bucks, Big RTS Haul
Eight dollars gets you one of PC gaming’s most beloved space RTS campaigns, its excellent desert-set prequel, and a crate of strategy throwbacks. Humble’s new 2K Tactics and Tycoons bundle drops the Homeworld Remastered Collection and Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak into your library for less than the price of lunch, and it’s live until April 24.
That headliner alone is a strong pitch. Homeworld’s blend of 3D fleet command, soaring choral soundtrack, and stark sci-fi art direction remains singular. Even today, few RTS games feel this grand in motion.
Why Homeworld Still Hits
The Remastered Collection includes both polished remasters and the original “classic” editions of Homeworld and its sequel, so you can experience the series as you remember it—or how you wish it looked. PC Gamer’s Fraser Brown once called Homeworld his “dream RTS,” a simple quote that still carries weight for anyone who cares about space strategy.
Deserts of Kharak doesn’t just trade nebulae for dunes; it rebuilds the formula at ground level. Reviewer Rob Zacny called it “a terrific RTS,” and added that it’s “also an excellent Homeworld game that reinvents the series while also recapturing its magic.” That balance—fresh tactics with unmistakable Homeworld DNA—makes it an easy recommendation alongside the Remastered Collection.
Steam Prices Vs. The Bundle
If you’re cherry-picking, there’s a wrinkle. Right now on Steam, the Homeworld Remastered Collection is 90% off at $3.49, and Deserts of Kharak is also 90% off at $5. Grab both and you’re at roughly $8.49 before tax. The Humble bundle hits $8 flat, throws in a stack of extras, and—yes—saves you about 50 cents. Small difference, sure, but value is value.
