Indie Chaos, Wired Style
No, you’re not seeing things. Up to 90% off Wired games on Steam. This isn’t one of those “polite discounts” – this is the kind of sale that makes your wishlist weep and your backlog beg for mercy. For nearly 20 years, we’ve been doing things our way – publishing the weird, the b
No, you’re not seeing things. Up to 90% off Wired games on Steam. This isn’t one of those “polite discounts” – this is the kind of sale that makes your wishlist weep and your backlog beg for mercy.
For nearly 20 years, we’ve been doing things our way – publishing the weird, the bold, the unforgettable. Games with soul. Games that get under your skin. Games that make you laugh, scream, and sometimes question reality itself. And for one week only, you can snag them for less than the price of your morning coffee.
Here’s just a taste of the chaos waiting for you:
Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks (-50%) 🚗💥 – Explosions, orcs, and racing mayhem. With big updates landing in October, now’s the time to jump in.
Hotel Architect (-20%) 🏨 – Build it big, build it tacky, build it yours. And yes, thanks to this week’s free update, you can finally build in Vegas.
KARMA: The Dark World (-30%) 👁️ – A paranoid, stylish psychological horror. Xbox players get it next week, but right now PC has the best deal ever.
Martha Is Dead (-70%) 😱 – Controversial, haunting, and impossible to forget.
Deliver Us The Moon (-85%) 🌙 – Humanity’s last hope is you. Award-winning sci-fi at its lowest price yet.
Arcade Paradise (-75%) 🕹️ – From dingy laundromat to neon arcade empire. Your 90s dream awaits.
…and that’s just scratching the surface.
This isn’t just a sale – it’s a love letter to indie madness. Wired doesn’t do ordinary, and neither should you. Grab the games that everyone talks about, the ones that hit differently, the ones that stay with you long after the credits roll.
👉 The Wired Productions Publisher Sale is live September 4–11, 2025. Don’t miss it.

We are excited to announce that our publisher Wired Productions and developer Caged Element have officially launched Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks on Steam today. Following an early access phase that saw over 250,000 players blast opponents, this high-octane combat racing game has had some tuning up and has sped into 1.0.
Last week, Wired Productions revealed they had taken over publishing rights – removing microtransactions entirely - and introducing fresh tracks, maps, game modes, and customization options. Assemble your crew of Grotz, Gitz, and Squigz – and battle in PVP and PVE lobbies!
Visit the Warhammer site for more details and stay tuned for insights into the game's next explosive chapter, as Wired Productions continues its partnership with Caged Element, the original publisher of 2018’s acclaimed GRIP: Combat Racing. Embrace the chaos, ignite the battles, and experience the thrill of Speed Freeks like never before.
Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks is available now on Steam at a special discounted price of just $15.99, €15.99 and £12.79.
New content includes:

Player-hosted games: Create private or public lobbies with custom settings.
New Vehicle – Trukk: A havoc-wreaking ambush vehicle with a fearsome amount of firepower and rowdy orks in the back.
New Game Mode - Free Roam: Choose any map and create custom races around it, as well as practice driving skills and abilities.
New Maps: Da Dust Up and Da Gorge are Speed Freeks’ most dynamic and visually striking to date.
Ork Pit Bosses: Players can now unlock and customize Ork avatars to show off to teammates and enemies alike.
Alternative Weapons: Unlockable weapons expand the playstyles of each vehicle for new ways to master them.
