The discount promotion is set to end on November 2nd
The new Steam Halloween Sale is here, and it has nearly 2,000 games discounted for the next few days. With so many cuts , it's impossible not to find something worth your time and money.
Valve uses every opportunity to organize Steam sales, and Halloween was a prime excuse. It's interesting to note that Valve didn't announce this in advance, and is counting on it being a surprise to the world. There have been some rumors that a new sale was in the works, and gamers know that such holidays usually come with price cuts.
We can also note that it's not a terribly attractive discount, despite the large number of games available. Most of the big titles only have price cuts of around 30%, which isn't much when the total price of the game is $60 (€60). I'm sure that among so many titles people will find something to buy, but it feels like a missed opportunity for Steam.
Black Friday is near
Another major sale is coming soon, and it's possible we'll see another deal from the Valve Gods when Black Friday rolls around, but it's impossible to predict. There have been a few scattered Black Friday sales in recent years, the most recent being in 2013.
Also, we shouldn't forget that there will definitely be a Winter Sale as well, so the PC gamers' calendar is quite full.
So, what do we get for our buck? There's a nice price cut on GTA V, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Shadow of Mordor, Bioshock Infinite, Left 4 Dead 2, Soma, Dying Light, and a few more. Some of you might notice that some of the games have nothing to do with Halloween, but that's not the point of the sale.
Enjoy it!
