Valve
The Steam Autumn Sale is on from Nov. 22-29 this year, but even if it’s not in the name, this is essentially parent company Valve’s Steam Black Friday and Cyber Monday discount period.
Some excellent PC games have discounts — from older titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Days Gone, to newer games like Gotham Knights and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
One discounted game we’ll shout out in particular is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Game of the Year Edition. As if that gem of a 2015 role playing game wasn’t excellent enough, a graphics overhaul (sometimes referred to as a “next-gen update”) due on Dec. 14 is set to introduce some even more impressive visuals to the already great-looking adventure.
