You can snap up Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory for 75% off right now – buy it here.
Normally the classic game costs £9.59, but the deal is part of a “special promotion” on the Steam store.
This Ubisoft title will stay on sale until August 24, 2025, before going back to its usual price.
“The year is 2008. Citywide blackouts, stock exchange sabotage, electronic hijacking of national defence systems – this is information warfare,” the game’s description reads.
“To prevent these attacks, operatives must infiltrate deep into hostile territory and aggressively collect critical intelligence, closer than ever to enemy soldiers.”
The game is a sequel to Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and follows NSA covert ops agent Sam Fisher investigating cyber-warfare.
In classic Splinter Cell style, the game focuses heavily on stealth mechanics, and featured noise monitoring for both the player and the surroundings.
The game came out in 2005 and released on several platforms, but the Xbox and PC versions were the best-rated.
On PC, the game is extremely well-reviewed by almost every measure.
On Steam, it holds a Very Positive rating, with 93% of the nearly 5,000 gamers who left feedback giving it a good review.
And it also holds a very high 92 score on Metacritic.
It won multiple awards, including Best PC Game at the Game Critics Awards and IGN’s Editor’s Choice Award.
By today’s standards, the graphics aren’t exactly spectacular.
But at the time, Ubisoft boasted that they were “as good as real” with “never-before-seen graphics technology“.

The NPCs were also powered by what Ubisoft described as an “intelligent AI”.
So they would react with personal attributes, and exhibit natural behaviour with awareness of the environment (like reacting to your sound versus the ambient noise) – even remembering past events.
It was also the first Splinter Cell game to feature ragdoll physics, which made dispatching baddies even more satisfying.
The game was also pitched as being highly replayable thanks to optional secondary objectives and multiple paths for completing missions.

You’ll need at least 4GB of storage space free on your machine to install the game, as well as a minimum of 256MB of RAM (though 512MB is recommended). It’s an old game so plenty of modern PCs will be more than capable of running it.
