Do not buy new games on Steam this weekend, especially with the Autumn Sale coming soon (Image: VALVE)
If you’ve got your eye on one or two new PC games on this weekend, then we would recommend waiting just a few more days before opening your wallet.
Unless a game on your wishlist is currently reduced in price, it’s worth waiting until the Steam Autumn Sale, which begins in just a few days time.
Featuring big discounts on hundreds of games, the annual Steam Autumn Sale has a November 27 start date and a 6pm GMT UK launch time.
A highlight of the calendar, the major Steam sale runs until December 4. It will be followed the equally huge Steam Winter Sale on December 19.
While Valve is yet to announce any of the discounts coming to the Autumn sale, chances are if it’s on your wishlist, it will be discounted.
Even relatively new releases tend to receive discounts during the major sales, which means we could get money off anything from Black Myth Wukong to Shadow of the Erdtree.
Daily Express will be back later this week with a full countdown to the Steam Autumn Sale, including early discounts announced by Valve.
In the meantime, Steam users can still grab discounts on games like Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, Victoria 3 and Disney Dreamlight Valley.
That’s on top of a cut price deal for Diablo 4 expansion Vessel of Hatred, which is currently reduced to just £26.24.
