We’re all enthusiastic about games, which means that we’re hawk-eyed when looking for the Steam Black Friday deals of 2021. We’re bound to see some excellent deals come forward on some of your favorite games from 2021 and before, with many of them hitting historical lows on Valve’s absolutely huge platform. This means that we’re going to go through everything that you can expect from the Steam Black Friday deals of 2021, including AAA, Indie, VR games, and many, many more. We could see thousands of games on sale on Steam this Black Friday, but no worries, we’ve got you covered.
When will the Sale Start?
The Steam Autumn Sale 2021 dates are set to run from November 24 to 30 - which, if you're counting, is two days before Black Friday through the day after Cyber Monday. Yeah, Valve knows what it's doing.
Other Sales Dates Announced
Always one of the biggest events in Steam's calendar, the Steam Winter Sale 2021 dates will stretch from December 22 to January 5, 2022. That's two full weeks of discounts, so you'd better start budgeting accordingly.
Those are the only official dates so far, but it's safe to assume that Valve will keep rolling into the new year with the usual Lunar New Year and Summer sales when it's ready.
