Online shoppers are looking at three upcoming Steam sales this year, just in time for the holiday payday.
Eurogamer recently confirmed three new holiday sales from Steam. For Halloween deals, the sale will run from Oct. 26, Thursday, to Nov. 1, Wednesday. Then, the Black Friday sale will be from Nov. 22, Wednesday, to Nov. 28, Tuesday. Lastly, the Winter sale will be held from Dec. 21, Thursday, to Jan. 4, Thursday, next year.
Kotaku UK had also taken a screenshot of the presumed sale schedule posted on Reddit, though the post has since been deleted. The post, aside from giving dates, also claimed that the sale will probably start at around 2 p.m. EDT. Three developers reportedly confirmed the dates, though Valve officials had not issued a statement on this matter.
As the next sale will be rolling in about a few days, gamers are expected to plan ahead to avoid being unable to log in because of the expected increase in traffic. There is no news on which games are going on sale, but there will surely be some great finds. Comicbook, for one, has predicted that some of the games that would be available are "Nier: Automata," "Observer," "ECHO," and "Playerunknown's Battlegrounds."
Last year's Winter sale had extended up to January this year. It was also the time when Valve had announced the top 100 games that had been sold. Some of the best sellers were "Watch Dogs 2," "The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited," "Doom," and "Rainbow Six Siege." As such, players can expect similar deals for this year's sale, with popular games getting superb discounts and bundles.
Steam is also currently holding a free trial to "Warhammer: End Times-Vermintide," which will last until Thursday, Oct. 26. Players who end up liking the game will also be glad to know that the game will be discounted for the duration as well; it will be priced at $7.50.
