Slay the Spire 2 Price & Editions: What Does STS2 Cost?

Slay the Spire 2 costs $24.99 USD on Steam in the United States. There are no Standard/Deluxe/Collector editions — the game ships as a single Early Access purchase, with bundle discounts if you also want Slay the Spire 1 or Mega Crit's partner titles. One thing is worth knowing before you buy: the developers have stated outright that "the price of the game will increase after Early Access."

What You Pay

Item	Price (US)	Notes
Slay the Spire 2 (base game)	$24.99	Steam, single edition, Early Access
Slay the Spire Collection (STS1 + STS2)	$28.11	Saves 38% vs $44.98 combined
STS2 × Dispatch bundle	$44.08	10% off two items
Vampire Crawlers × STS2 bundle	$29.68	10% off two items

A fourth bundle exists on the store page. Everything you get at launch — all five characters, both Act 1 regions, co-op, daily climb — is in the base purchase; there are no paid expansions, battle passes or microtransactions listed on the storefront, and all Early Access updates so far have been free.

Regional Pricing

Steam applies aggressive regional pricing, per SteamDB's price history: Chinese store ¥88, Latin America / MENA / South Asia $11.99, India ₹1,100, EU €22.99, UK £19.99, Japan ¥2,800. SteamDB price history shows the lowest recorded store price dating to launch day itself (March 5, 2026) — i.e., the base game has not been cut below its launch price through Early Access so far; the visible discounts on the store come via bundles (to be confirmed whether seasonal sales will discount it further).

Is There a Cheaper "Steam Key" Market?

Key-comparison sites list Slay the Spire 2 across roughly nine–ten reseller offers, but their own verdict is that the best official price for the PC version is the $24.99 Steam direct price. Third-party "STS2 keys" activate on Steam, and the official activation route is Steam regardless of where the code comes from (the game is not on the Epic or Microsoft stores). Our advice mirrors what those comparison pages quietly concede: gray-market key sites are the one category where we have no evidence of discount depth worth the risk — buy from the Steam store page or an authorized bundle. Beware any site advertising far-cheaper "Slay the Spire 2 keys"; scraped listings sometimes even mislabel platform availability (one key marketplace's data lists "Xbox GamePass" for a game that has no Xbox version).

Price vs. Value (so far)

At $24.99 you get the full three-act single-player ladder with five characters plus four-player co-op — content that long-playtest reviews describe as "largely complete," in the same price band as the original game's own full-release price. The content added between now and 1.0 (the promised "true ending," more cards, events and environments) ships free to existing owners; the developer's stated plan is that latecomers pay more after that point. In other words: buying now is both the cheaper and the earlier option, at the usual Early Access cost of live-balance churn.

Deck, Family Sharing & Practical Notes

• Steam Deck: Verified. No configuration needed; it's a light 2D game (4 GB storage).
• The game weighs in at a modest install and runs on 8-year-old hardware per community reports — cheap to own twice on a handheld.
• Age rating is PEGI 7; 14 interface languages are supported at this stage, with more promised by 1.0.
• The classic Steam refund policy applies (under 2 hours played / 14 days), which is worth using deliberately: two hours is roughly half of one first run, and "is this my tempo?" is a fair Early Access question.

Bottom line: $24.99, one edition, no paid extras — and $24.99 is likely the lowest this game will ever cost. If you're on the fence, the STS1+STS2 Collection at $28.11 is the best real discount on the shelf.
