Steam has officially joined the ranks of retailers celebrating Black Friday with its inaugural sale event. Surprising many, Valve announced that while they regularly host themed sales, Black Friday had yet to be included in their lineup until now.
Valve highlighted the occasion, stating, “What a week! ‘Tis the season in many areas of the world for the ‘holiday’ known as Black Friday, a time-honored tradition of deals on all sorts of things.” To mark the occasion, a dedicated landing page has been created, showcasing discounts on a wide array of games throughout the week.
The sale features significant discounts, such as 50% off EA Sports FC 26, 15% off Battlefield 6, and a staggering 67% off Risk of Rain 2. Other discounts include 20% off Helldivers 2, 34% off the critically acclaimed Blue Prince, and 8% off Dead by Daylight. Shoppers can also find Ghost of Tsushima marked down by 40%, along with a massive 75% discount on Red Dead Redemption 2 and an astonishing 95% off Warhammer: Vermintide 2.
In addition to game discounts, customers have the opportunity to save 20% on the Steam Deck LCD model (256GB), running until December 1 at 10 AM PT (1 PM ET). During this time, gamers can also participate in nominating their favorite titles for the upcoming Steam Awards.
However, Valve has mentioned that there will be no pre-order discounts for its new hardware, including the recently revealed Steam Machine, the new controller, or the Steam Frame VR headset powered by SteamOS. For enthusiasts wanting to keep up with Valve’s latest hardware announcements, there is a comprehensive roundup available.
To explore the full range of offers, shoppers are encouraged to visit Steam’s dedicated sale page. Additionally, for those seeking the best deals this Black Friday, a centralized hub is available, highlighting top price drops across video games, technology, and more on platforms including PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox.
This Black Friday sale is a promising development for gamers, who can now take advantage of fantastic deals and celebrate the season with significant savings on sought-after titles.
