On Wednesday, July 29, Humble added a new $13 PC bundle built entirely around difficult games that are listed as Steam Deck-compatible. The timing matters because it arrived roughly five days after Humble added the Idlers & Desktop Companions bundle, shifting from low-pressure background play to titles designed to punish missed inputs and bad timing, according to Notebookcheck.
The new bundle is called Rage Inducing Difficult Games. Its top tier includes 10 games with a stated regular value of $222 for $13, bringing the implied cost to $1.3 per game.
July 29: Humble launches a $13 bundle for players who want punishment, not comfort
The Rage Inducing Difficult Games bundle is split into two tiers. The first costs $6 and includes four games. The second costs $13 and unlocks the full 10-game lineup.
Every listed game is marked either Steam Deck Verified or Steam Deck Playable, which is the core hook for handheld PC players. Humble is also providing a Steam key for each game, so buyers can add the titles directly to Steam rather than using a third-party launcher.
That matters more for this bundle than it would for slower PC games. Titles such as Jump King, Getting Over It, and Pogostuck: Rage With Your Friends are built around repetition, short attempts, and failure loops. Portable access fits that pattern: one more jump, one more climb, one more reset.
The full bundle is scheduled to remain live for another 21 days from Notebookcheck’s time of writing. The game keys expire on February 19, 2027.
For readers tracking handheld-friendly PC deals more broadly, this follows MLXIO’s continuing coverage of Steam Deck bundle discounts and separate Steam deal coverage for Watch Dogs 2.
Ghostrunner, Jump King and Getting Over It anchor the full 10-game tier
The $13 tier mixes precision platforming, action, and patience-testing games rather than leaning on one genre. Ghostrunner is the action-heavy name in the list, while Jump King and Getting Over It represent the more notorious climb-and-fail side of the package.
Here is the full list from the source material:
| Game | Steam Deck status | Regular price | Steam rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| GRIME - Deluxe Edition | Verified | $35.67 | 89% positive |
| Lorn's Lure | Verified | $14.99 | 87% positive |
| Aeterna: Darkness Megapack | Verified | $79.12 | 76% positive |
| Jump King | Verified | $12.99 | 90% positive |
| Egging On | Verified | $14.99 | 74% positive |
| Ghostrunner | Playable | $29.99 | 91% positive |
| Getting Over It | Verified | $7.99 | 84% positive |
| Pogostuck: Rage With Your Friends | Verified | $6.99 | 85% positive |
| Splodey | Verified | $12.99 | 91% positive |
| Never Give Up | Playable | $14.99 | 87% positive |
The compatibility split is mostly favorable for Steam Deck owners. Eight games are listed as Verified, while Ghostrunner and Never Give Up are listed as Playable.
That distinction is useful. Verified generally signals a cleaner Deck experience, while Playable can still work but may come with caveats. Notebookcheck’s core claim is that all 10 titles are Deck-compatible under Valve’s labels, not that every title has the same level of polish on the handheld.
MLXIO analysis: the bundle’s strongest pitch is not one single headliner. It is density. At $13, players who were curious about one or two of these games get a much lower-risk way to sample the full frustration catalog.
The next decision point is the 21-day bundle clock, then the 2027 key deadline
The immediate buying question is simple: whether the full $13 tier is worth it versus the $6 four-game tier. Humble’s structure makes the higher tier the obvious focus because it adds six more games and contains the full listed value.
Buyers should still check the live Humble page before purchasing. The source notes that prices and deal terms were available at the time of writing and may be subject to time restrictions or limited availability.
The key redemption deadline is separate from the purchase window. Even if a buyer grabs the bundle during its current run, the included game keys are listed as expiring on February 19, 2027.
For Steam Deck owners, the practical checklist is narrow:
- Tier: Confirm whether the desired games are in the $6 tier or require the $13 tier.
- Compatibility: Review the current Verified and Playable labels before buying.
- Redemption: Redeem the Steam keys before February 19, 2027.
- Fit: Expect difficult games, not casual backlog filler.
The bundle is best suited to players who actively want punishing mechanics and repeated failure loops. If Humble keeps the offer live for the stated window, the next watch item is whether the $13 tier remains available through the full remaining period or changes before the clock runs out.
Key Takeaways
- The $13 tier cuts the implied cost to about $1.30 per game.
- Every included title is listed as Steam Deck Verified or Playable, making the bundle especially relevant for handheld PC owners.
- Steam keys and a February 19, 2027 key-expiration date give buyers flexibility in redeeming the games.
