This article is part of a series of sustainability themed articles we are running to observe Earth Day 2026 and promote more sustainable practices. See all our content in Sustainability Week 2026.
The Earth Appreciation Festival sale is live right now on Steam and highlights more than 170 games that showcase the natural world or engage with themes like climate change and pollution.
Organized by developers Slug Disco, Stray Fawn and Mechanistry, it’s the fifth incarnation of the sale and has been timed perfectly with Earth Day 2026 this week. It is presented with Cool Earth as an official charity partner, with developer activations and content creation streams to raise funds.
The sale is divided into two different categories. First, there are relaxing nature games like the adorable island sandbox Coral Islandpuzzle city builder Terra Zerothe sweet seed collection game Kamaeru: A Frog Refugeand Ant keeping simulator (no prizes for guessing what it’s about).

They are contrasted by a number of grittier eco-dystopian games, including the brilliant strategy titles Frostpunk 2 and Endless Legends 2.
Early access and upcoming release products are also featured in the Earth Appreciation Festival Showcase, which can be viewed in a separate tab on the sales page. There is a good selection of games here and I have already added both cyberpunk comedy RPG Neo Junk City and roguelike deck builder Into the grid to my personal wish list based solely on their cool art directions.
If you’d rather not part with any cash at all, then you can always check out the list of games with free demos available. I know my colleague Rob Dwiar is a big fan of the plant puzzle Botany Manor Houseso i will try its demo later today.
The sale ends on April 24, 2026, so be sure to check it out before the end of this week if you’re interested.
