The Steam community is celebrating this year's big sale. The Steam Autumn Sale is now officially live, and games of all kinds are available at a discounted rate. This is an excellent time to stock up on games that were once overlooked or pick up new titles that happen to be available at a reduced rate.
It is always exciting to take advantage of a big sale, and the holiday months are of course a period in which many retailers make sales available. The Epic Games Store Black Friday 2021 sale went live a few days ago, a big competitor to Valve's Steam. But the price slashes of Steam have long been something that the platform has a reputation for.
Sometimes Steam sales are about finding hidden diamonds. However, one fan online was very excited about picking up a brand new title. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is a well-reviewed game that was released just last month, but it is available at a 35% discount, which could allow many the chance to dive into the triple-a action-adventure game.
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, some enjoy the chance to pick up smaller indie-style games during the Steam Autumn Sale. One Twitter user shared their excitement in picking up Celeste, Undertale, Cuphead, and Hollow Knight. Those four games could easily be considered some of the best indies of the past decade.
Recently the Steam Deck was delayed into 2022. But that delay isn't stopping fans from thinking of the new handheld and portable PC during this Steam Autumn Sale. Steam enthusiasts are picking up classics such as Portal 2 and Star Wars: Battlefront with the intention of enjoying them with the release of the Steam Deck.
The Steam Autumn Sale runs from now until December 1, and the options are seemingly endless. One VTuber picked up 15 games during the sale, and they may not be done. Games like BioShock Remastered, Terraria, Coffee Talk, Death Stranding, and various Yakuza titles were picked up by the content creator.
It is hard to see the Steam Autumn Sale and not find something that is tempting, which is also something the community is joking about. The Steam algorithm purposely puts games in front of the player that it believes they would enjoy. It also reminds players that titles on their "Wishlist" are now discounted.
And just like it will be hard to come out of the Steam Autumn Sale without a purchase or two, it is hard to avoid Spongebob Squarepants memes online. The magic conch in Spongebob Squarepants once said "maybe someday" as a response. This was the perfect answer and meme one fan-made in whether or not they will ever need the game that is on sale, so why not pick up as many games as possible.
