While many of the most popular games this year demand spaceship-level tech or are out of reach due to costs, you don't need a GeForce RTX 4090 to play a handful of this year's memorable experiences via the Steam store.

For once, we're not suggesting you throw your wallet into a fire as a sacrifice to the Mighty Retail Lords.

In fact, you could get every title on this list for the cost of a little more than two full-price retail games. Let's look at the best games of 2024 under $25.

Editor's note: All of the games on this list are traditional "Web2" games without crypto or blockchain integrations. But you might enjoy 'em anyway!
