Steamis for many the definitive PC game provider, being known for its massive catalog of games and frequent promotions in its store. While some other retailers have beaten Steam to the punch, it has finally arrived to Black Friday 2021, with its ginormous Autumn Sale now officially live, bringing deals to games across the entire site.
The discounts available at Black Friday can often be overwhelming, shoppers often having to fight the urge to spend more than they should. This phenomenon can also be attributed to Steam and its legendary Summer Sale, where in some cases, the deals exceed those of Black Friday, leading to some hefty shopping carts and mighty backlog increases.Valve recently outlined its sale planfor the rest of the year, announcing that the Autumn Sale would begin today. Competitor of Steam, the Epic Games Store, already began its Black Friday 2021 promotion a few days ago, getting the jumpstart on Steam offering some impressive deals of its own.
