Humble Choice’s monthly PC-game bundle is offering a useful bit of arithmetic for players with a backlog: pay $14.99 for the month and get Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Psychonauts 2, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, and additional games. Subscribers keep the games even if they cancel after that month, according to The Verge’s Cameron Faulkner.
That last detail matters. This is a monthly subscription, not a rental arrangement that takes the games back when you stop paying. If you were already considering buying several of the included titles on Steam, the bundle could be a cheaper way to add them to your library. The value depends on whether you actually want the games, of course. A low price for a collection of things you will never install is still a low price for things you will never install.
Check the bundle against your backlog
Faulkner says each of the named games had been on his list of possible Steam purchases, which makes the offer particularly appealing for players in a similar position. The selection spans different kinds of games, from the action-adventure of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown to the cooperative mining-and-shooting of Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. The source does not provide a complete list of the other included games, so check Humble’s current Choice page before subscribing if one particular title is the reason you are interested.
Also verify the platform and storefront details before buying. The listed monthly games are Steam PC games; the separate Nintendo discounts are a different offer. A subscription that makes sense for PC players does not automatically make its other member deals relevant to someone shopping for a console.
Member pricing extends beyond the monthly bundle
Humble members also receive discounts on digital games the source identifies as Nintendo Switch 2 titles. The reported example: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is listed at $53.99 for members, while most other full-price games are described as about $6 below retail. Faulkner calls Humble the place to find the cheapest prices on those games, but that is his assessment of the deals—not a guarantee that every title beats every other retailer’s price.
That distinction is worth keeping in view with any membership discount. Compare the exact game and price with other current offers, and consider whether you would use the subscription’s other benefits. The article does not specify the offer’s end date or provide a full pricing breakdown for the Switch 2 discounts, so shoppers should confirm those details before checking out. Deal prices, unlike game libraries, are not forever.
For players who want several of this month’s Steam titles, the clearest case is straightforward: $14.99 gets you a set of games you can keep after cancelling. For everyone else, the decision comes down to the actual titles and the current member prices—not the general comfort of being subscribed to something.
