Key information
Blue Prince, a highly acclaimed puzzle and adventure title released in the spring of 2026, is currently available at a 40% discount on Steam. The game, which holds a 92% average rating on Metacritic, has seen its price reduced from 29.99 € to 17.99 € until October 17.
Developed by Tonda Ros at Dogubomb, the game tasks players with exploring the mysterious Mount Holly estate. Players act as Simon, an heir who must locate a hidden 46th room within a mansion that officially contains only 45. The gameplay combines spatial strategy with roguelite mechanics, requiring players to build the mansion's layout by selecting from randomized cards each time they pass through a door.
Progression is governed by a step-based system where players have 50 steps per day. If the limit is reached or a dead end is encountered, the mansion resets. While the layout changes, players retain their notes and discovered secrets. The game is noted for its deep, rewarding narrative involving a missing children's book author.
Potential players should note that the game is available exclusively in English. The reliance on anagrams and text-based riddles presents a significant linguistic challenge for non-native speakers. Beyond the PC promotion, the title is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2, and is included in the Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra subscription catalogs.
