2018 Steam Awards Nomination and Autumn Sale Goes Live

Over 14,000 Titles on Sale on Steam

November is a big month for Valve‘s Steam platform. Just in time before Thanksgiving and Black Friday rolls in, they have launched the 2018 Autumn Sale. This is the largest sale they have had in a while yet, with over 14,000 titles on sale and more being added.

Entire franchises are discounted as well as even some recently launched AAA games. Gamers will find Bethesda‘s Fallout franchise with a 50% to 75% discount across the board. That is, with the exception of Fallout 76.

The Dark Souls series are also heavily discounted. Dark Souls III Deluxe Edition is currently 70% off. Meanwhile, the regular Dark Souls III is 75% off.

The new Assassin’s Creed Odyssey set in Greece is 33% off, and the game before it, Assassin’s Creed Origins set in Egypt is now 60% off.

The recently released Shadow of the Tomb Raider is also 50% off. Although the game before that, Rise of the Tomb Raider can be had for a lot less at an 80% discount.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive probably offers the best discount yet, as it is available for free.

Check out the full list by logging on to your Steam account or by visiting the store on your web browser.

The sale lasts until November 27, 10am Pacific.

Which Categories are Available for the 2018 Steam Awards?

Aside from the Autumn Sale, the actual Steam Awards is holding nominations. The awards themselves will not arrive until February, but fans can now campaign for their favourite games to be in the running.

The categories this year includes:

  • Game of the Year
  • VR Game of the Year
  • Labor of Love
  • Best Developer
  • Best Environment
  • Better With Friends
  • Best Alternate History
  • Most Fun with a Machine

These are pretty much self explanatory. However, if you need further explanation and for actually nominating your favourite titles, follow this link.
