Humble says the seven games in its 30th Anniversary Bundle normally cost "as much as $214," and that figure holds up. Steam's own current list prices for those exact seven titles add up to $214.93, a gap of 93 cents.
The bundle's Steam Deck claims survive a check too. Rated one by one against Valve's own compatibility data, four of the seven are Verified, two are Playable and one is Unsupported.
The Unsupported game is REMNANT II. Humble's page carries no Deck compatibility badge at all for that title, so the rating only shows up on Steam's side.
How the $214 total breaks down
The top $15 tier unlocks all seven games. The $5 tier gives two, and $10 or more gives four, so the value claim only applies to buyers who pay the full amount.
| Game | Steam list price | Steam Deck rating |
|---|---|---|
| The Elder Scrolls Online (Deluxe Edition) | $59.99 | Verified |
| REMNANT II | $49.99 | Unsupported |
| Subnautica | $29.99 | Verified |
| Ravenswatch | $24.99 | Playable |
| BlazBlue Entropy Effect | $19.99 | Verified |
| Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales | $19.99 | Verified |
| Sonic Adventure 2 | $9.99 | Playable |
The largest single line is the Elder Scrolls Online slot at $59.99, which alone is four times the top tier price. Subnautica, whose sequel is still adding features in early access, is the next biggest at $29.99.
One detail worth being precise about: the Sonic Adventure 2 included here is the base Steam release at $9.99, not the separate Battle version that lists for $2.99.
Deck ratings confirmed, with one game left out
Verified covers The Elder Scrolls Online, Subnautica, BlazBlue Entropy Effect and Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales. Ravenswatch and Sonic Adventure 2 are Playable, meaning they run with caveats such as small text or a required on-screen keyboard.
Those categories match the badges Humble prints next to each item. Valve's catalog of Verified and Playable titles passed 30,000 games earlier this year, so a six out of seven hit rate is unremarkable.
REMNANT II is the exception. A hardware compatibility tracking site has reported that the game runs fine after tweaks on the handheld, but that is community testing, not a Valve or developer statement.
Valve's compatibility service returns only the bare Unsupported category for the game. It publishes no test detail explaining the rating, unlike the fuller breakdowns attached to the Verified and Playable entries.
REMNANT II is $9.99 on its own at the time of writing
Steam is separately running an 80% discount on REMNANT II, cutting it from $49.99 to $9.99. That undercuts the bundle's pitch for anyone who wants that one game.
Paying $15 instead of $9.99 costs $5.01 more and adds six other titles. For a shopper who only wanted the shooter, the standalone sale price is the better buy, and the bundle copy for REMNANT II does not mention it.
Two figures on Humble's page that do not match Steam
Humble describes the Elder Scrolls Online slot as "the Base Game, the Elsweyr, Morrowind and Summerset Chapters" in its item description. The Steam package it prices at the same $59.99 is described by Steam as the base game, the 2025 Content Pass and all eight previous Chapters.
That is a materially larger set of content than Humble's own text describes, at an identical price. It reads as an undersell rather than an oversell, though neither company explains the mismatch. Digital Citizen has covered delays to the game's major trial and combat update following studio layoffs.
The second gap is smaller. Humble's page lists BlazBlue Entropy Effect at 84% positive on Steam, while Steam's live aggregate currently computes to 94.3% positive from 34,387 of 36,465 reviews, which Steam labels Very Positive.
A roughly 10 point spread like that usually means a cached snapshot has gone stale, not that the two sources disagree about the game's reception.
What is not settled
The purchase window closes on October 10, 2026, per the end time field on Humble's own page. Keys bought before then carry a separate Steam redemption deadline of April 9, 2027, and the two dates are easy to conflate.
Humble's live stats showed an average payment of $15.09 when checked on September 22, 2026, which means most buyers are taking the full seven-game tier rather than the cheaper ones. Humble's default split sends 60% to publishers and 5% to the Child's Play charity, with a buyer-adjustable tip on top.
Nobody involved has explained the commercial terms behind the anniversary tie-in or why these seven games were picked. Valve has not commented on the REMNANT II rating either, and Steam sale prices can change before the bundle closes.
