What's happening everybody, it’s Eric from the Mature Minded Gamers! Steam just dropped some important updates heading into the holiday season, and a lot of people are confused about where the Autumn Sale and Black Friday fit this year. Here’s everything you need to know.
Steam officially moved the Autumn Sale earlier this year to space it out from the Winter Sale, which means there’s no traditional Thanksgiving/Autumn Sale happening right now. BUT — Steam is still running Black Friday Special Offers on the Discounts & Events page from November 24 through December 1.
Think of it like a themed version of the standard Special Offers page, filled with discounts across tons of genres. We’ll be covering the best deals like we always do, so make sure you're subscribed and have the bell on.
Speaking of daily content — don’t miss our Lunch Break series, dropping every weekday at 12PM EST. We’ve got a HUGE sandbox RPG starting December 1 that you’ll want to see, especially if you're into Mount & Blade-style games.
Thanks for checking out the news! Let me know what deals you're hoping to grab this Black Friday.
