Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.43/day in the week to Aug 17 → 1.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
From the visionary artist behind ABZÛ, The Pathless, and Journey – Sword of the Sea is an atmospheric surfing adventure with highspeed Hoversword movement inspired by skateboarding and snowboarding.
Carve your way forward on the ancient and powerful Hoversword, which moves like a snowboard, skateboard, and surfboard all in one. Build momentum to reach top speed and catch big air off the crests of giant waves. Pull off radical flips, spins, and grab tricks with ease as you shred halfpipes, ramps, and wall rides. It’s the perfect balance of exhilarating action and fluid, meditative movement.
Explore a world where the land flows in constant waves. From massive tides to the smallest ripples, the shifting sea of dunes is incredibly detailed and beautifully rendered. Surf across sandy deserts, glacial mountains, and many more undulating environments full of secrets in this incredible adventure.
You are the Wraith – resurrected in the desolate Necropolis on a quest to unveil the ancient sea buried beneath the land. Discover the remnants of a lost culture hidden in sinking tombs and skatepark-like ruins as you search for purpose. Transform sandy dunes into glittering, emerald waters and witness magical sealife return in huge, breathtaking shoals. Feel the spiritual magic of surfing as you connect with nature and restore life – but beware, there is also darkness lurking under the waves.
Developed by the renowned indie team Giant Squid, Sword of the Sea features the unique artistic design of creative director Matt Nava and beautiful music composed by Grammy winning Austin Wintory. Long time creative partners, their works together include beloved indie games ABZÛ, The Pathless, and the legendary, award-winning game Journey.

Sums Steam only; PlayStation, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Wow! Que jogão! Uma obra de arte definitiva, não só visualmente, mas na música, na narrativa, cenas... NOSSA! Não esperava menos de um jogo que misturaria Journey, Abzu, The Pathless e Tony Hawk! Compre se você gosta de jogos contemplativos, belos e do balacobaco!
It’s like Journey and ABZÛ had a baby… and this beautiful little gem was born. Sword of the Sea isn’t just a game — it’s an experience. From the breathtaking visuals and atmospheric world design to the moving soundtrack, everything works together to create something truly special. The controls feel smooth, the movement and flow are effortless, and there’s a sense of discovery that pulls you in without needing to say a word. The lore feels like it belongs in the same emotional universe as Journey, ABZÛ, and The Pathless — a quiet, mysterious story that lets you interpret and feel rather than simply explains everything. It is a little short, but honestly, I don’t mind. Sometimes leaving you wanting more is the mark of something that truly understands its own magic. I finished it feeling completely in awe. Huge respect to the creative minds and developers who brought this experience to life. Thank you for creating something that feels less like a product and more like a gift. P.S. I’m honestly not sure why some people mentioned frame rate issues in their reviews. My PC isn’t exactly a cutting-edge monster, and I was able to run the game on Ultra settings without a single hiccup. Maybe there are some hardware-specific issues out there, but my experience was absolutely flawless.

It's a decent game, I was just surprised at how short it was. It took me a little under 3 hours and I did do a bit of the collecting of items. I liked the movement and mobility, felt like it wasn't bad to control and that it was pretty satisfying. There are tricks you can unlock, but I didn't think they added much to the game. Like someone else said, design-wise, this is like Journey and Abzu put together. It's a beautiful game and I like the variation of the environments, but I would recommend getting this on a sale. I did prefer Abzu more than this and I wish there were more skateboarding-like areas. I also was expecting there to be like a part where you could ride a wave, but there wasn't really. I did enjoy the [spoiler]final boss, and I'm not usually a fan of boss battles.[/spoiler] As for my main criticisms, the riding-the-fish sections got a little repetitive quickly and went on a bit too long. Some of the vocal soundtracks weren't my taste, but that's just a me-thing. Also wish this game was better optimized, my pc ran a bit warm while playing it and I ran into one point where my game froze from loading, although I did play it on the highest settings. Overall a decent experience, but I prefer Abzu over this one. Not sure if I would play this again.
Journey Hawks Pro Surfer is exactly what you'd expect. 10/10. If you liked Journey, Abzu and The Pathless, you'll love this. Austin Wintory will melt your soul.

I wish real life looked like this game does
A MUST PLAY. NO QUESTIONS.
Great experience, short but worth the price. Even more impressive than ABZU.
Absolutely stunning environments with a beautiful OST! Controls feel amazing and just wandering feels good. Do not recommend for steam deck as you'll average about 15fps
