TL;DR: Dying Light 2: Reloaded Edition is 80% off at $11.99 on Steam until June 24, 2026, 23:00 UTC. This edition bundles the base game, both story DLCs (Bloody Ties and Hellraid), and the next-gen visual/performance upgrades. At this price it matches the all-time low — a solid buy if you missed it, but the base game alone has hit $10 before.
What You Get for $11.99
| Component | Normally | Included Here |
|---|---|---|
| Base game (Dying Light 2 Stay Human) | $39.99 | ✅ |
| Bloody Ties story DLC (arena district, new weapons) | $9.99 | ✅ |
| Hellraid DLC (first-person dungeon crawler homage) | $9.99 | ✅ |
| Next-gen upgrade (ray tracing, 60 fps modes, DualSense features) | Free patch | ✅ |
Effective value: ~$60 of content for $11.99. The Reloaded Edition is the only way to get both DLCs bundled — they are not sold separately on Steam outside this edition.
What Kind of Game Is It
Open-world, first-person action RPG with parkour traversal and melee-focused combat. You play as Aiden Caldwell, a “Pilgrim” searching for his sister in “The City” — a sprawling, vertical European metropolis overrun by infected. Day/night cycle changes the threat level dramatically: daytime is for exploration and human faction quests; night brings volatile infected and better loot.
Co-op: 4-player drop-in/drop-out. Progress saves to the host. Cross-play: no (Steam/PC only). See our best co-op games on Steam roundup for more drop-in titles.
Playtime: ~25–30h main story, 60h+ with DLCs and side content.
Who Should Buy — and Who Should Wait
Buy now if:
– You want the complete Dying Light 2 package with both story DLCs included
– You enjoy parkour traversal (it’s the traversal system, not just a gimmick)
– You have friends to co-op with — the game shines in 2–4 player
– You missed the previous all-time lows ($11.99 has hit 3× in the last 12 months)
Wait if:
– You only want the base game — it has dropped to $9.99 (75% off) on its own during major sales
– You prefer single-player narrative games without co-op focus — the story is functional but not the draw
– You’re holding out for a Gold/Ultimate edition that might bundle future content (Techland has not announced one)
– You have a large backlog — this is a 60h+ commitment for completionists
Price History & Buy-vs-Wait Verdict
| Date | Edition | Price | Discount | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 2026 (current) | Reloaded Edition | $11.99 | 80% | Steam Midweek Deal |
| Mar 2026 | Reloaded Edition | $11.99 | 80% | Steam Spring Sale |

Pattern: The Reloaded Edition has hit $11.99 three times in the last year (every major seasonal sale). The base game alone has hit $9.99. The next major sale is Steam Summer Sale (late June 2026) — historically the deepest discounts of the year. Check our weekly Steam deals roundup for other Midweek picks.
Verdict: Buy now if you’ll play it this month. The price is at the established floor and you get both DLCs. Wait for Summer Sale (≈June 26–July 10) if you can — there’s a non-zero chance the Reloaded Edition drops to $9.99 or the base game hits $7.99. No new edition or sequel has been announced.
