If you followed my advice and held off making any new Steam purchases this week, then you’re about to be rewarded for your patience.
A highlight of the PC gaming calendar, the Steam Autumn Sale launches in time for Black Friday and runs for one week.
For UK customers, the Steam Autumn Sale has a 6pm GMT start time on the afternoon of November 27. It runs until the same time on December 4.
If you’re unable to participate for any reason then the good news is that the Winter Sale will launch a few weeks later on December 19.
The Winter Sale actually runs for two weeks instead of one, ending on January 2. This means you can spend any Christmas money on new games for yourself.
As for the Autumn Sale, Valve is yet to release the launch trailer, so keep checking back for a look at the early game discounts.
In the meantime, there are some big discounts to be found across Steam, including 60% off the Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection.
Developed by Naughty Dog, the Legacy of Thieves Collection contains Uncharted 4 and The Lost Legacy. Steam users can pick it up for just £15.99 until November 27. Despite its graphical prowess, Legacy of Thieves is Steam Deck Verified, which makes it a very appealing package, especially at this price. It’s the perfect addition to your brand new White Steam Deck console, which should be in the hands of pre-order customers.
New racing game Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is also available at a heavily reduced price until November 27. Set in an open-world recreation of Hong Kong, the game is available for £27.99.
Other early discounts include Diablo 4 and its recently released Vessel of Hatred expansion.
The base Diablo 4 game is currently available for £25.19, while the Vessel of Hatred expansion is priced at £26.24. Alternatively, you can grab the game and expansion bundle for £38.99.
While the aforementioned discounts all end on November 27, don’t be surprised if they get extended as part of the Autumn Sale, or receive further discounts during the Winter Sale.
Speaking of discounts ending on November 27, Goat Simulator 3 is also reduced in the short term. The popular anarchy simulator is down to just £8.24.
Elsewhere, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is down to £19.99, Disney Dreamlight Valley is reduced to £25.11, Untitled Goose Game costs £7.19 and Hearts of Iron 4 is down to £15.30.
