Steam Sale is a passive item.

Effects

  • Halves the price of all purchasable items and pickups.
    • Items on sale for an odd amount will have their price rounded down (ie; 15 cost items will cost 7).
    • Most Pickups have their price reduced to 3. (in Repentance) This includes Grab Bag.pngGrab Bags, which are normally sold for 7.
    • Red Heart.pngRed Hearts have their price reduced to 2.
  • (in Repentance) Prevents shops from having natural discounts.

Notes

  • This item can drop from Greed.pngGreed, as well as a rare drop from Shopkeeper.pngShopkeepers.
  • (except in Repentance) Multiple Steam Sales can be obtained via each of the normal drop methods.
  • (in Rebirth) Multiple Steam Sales have no effect.
  • (in Afterbirth and Afterbirth †) After obtaining 2 Steam Sales, all shop prices are set to 0 coins.
  • (in Repentance) Multiple Steam Sales only further reduce prices, with each additional copy lowering prices less.
    • The price is lowered to pricen+1, where n is the number of Steam Sales. For example, an item with 3 Steam Sales would cost 154 pennies, which is rounded up to 4.
  • (in Afterbirth) Steam Sale will cause the Deals with the Devil not to convert the type of required heart automatically.
  • (in Repentance) Steam Sale's quality is treated as 3 for the purposes of Collectible Bag of Crafting icon.pngBag of Crafting.

Synergies

  • (in Afterbirth †)Collectible Coupon icon.pngCoupon: The discounts stack.
  • (in Afterbirth and Afterbirth †) Collectible Diplopia icon.pngDiplopia: Can be used to create two Steam Sales, reducing the price of all items in the shop to 0.
    • Diplopia + Collectible Restock icon.pngRestock or Greed mode: Restock will allow shop items to replenish indefinitely, so by having multiple Steam Sales by the methods above, infinite items may be purchased. Be careful not to pick up Collectible Missing No. icon.pngMissing No., which will remove the Steam Sales and will likely replace many items with Collectible Breakfast icon.pngBreakfast.
    • (in Repentance) Each additional Steam Sale will further reduce the price of all items in the shop, down to a minimum of 1 cent.
