The reminder for PC gamers that their wallets are gonna be thin for the rest of the year has arrived, the dates for the Steam Halloween-, Black Friday-, and Winter sales have been leaked ahead of time, as is tradition.
The leak was first posted where most leaks can be found, on Reddit, but was soon after removed due to a lack of source, BUT after the leak Eurogamer independently corroborated the dates. Though Valve has yet to officially confirm these dates so they might change a bit, but we all know they the sales will happen during those days anyway.
Unless anything happens, the dates on which to spend a lot of money on games you probably won't play are as follows below.
- Steam Halloween Sale: October 26 – November 1
- Steam Black Friday Sale: November 22 – November 28
- Steam Winter Sale: December 24 – January 4, 2018
As a reminder, Steam stopped hosting flash sales and last chance offers 2015 so all discounts will last for the duration of the sale so there is no need to rush. And usually, other rivals like GOG.com and EA Origin host their sales around the same time as the Steam seasonal sales, so keep an eye open for the best deals.
Remember, Lord Gaben must have his tithe.
