Winter is just a few weeks away, but there is still time to squeeze in an Autumn Steam Sale.
As usual, the start of Autumn Sale will also kick off the nominations of the 2024 Steam Awards. This annual celebration of the best games of the year across 11 categories takes place every year. Nominations are open until the end the Autumn Sale. Voting will follow the Steam Winter Sale, which, if the past two decades hold true, will take place in December.
The 2024 Steam Awards have one category change: Best Game on the Move has been replaced with the Most Innovative Gameplay Award. "The designers of this title are at the forefront of creative experimentation and bringing a new perspective and brain-breaking surprise." This game delighted, entertained and inspired with newness that had never been played before.
You can earn a badge by nominating at least one Steam Award-winning game. Completing "other tasks" like reviewing or playing the game you've selected will raise your badge level.
Once we've had the chance to look through the games, it'll take a while to compile a list. There are a lot of them to sort through. You can earn a daily sticker by browsing the deals.
Here's some free advice on browsing games and finding deals. The Augmented Steam extension will make it easier to use Steam and find deals. As PC Gamer's Jody Mcgregor described it, the extension is "the Deus Ex" of browser extensions. It has features such as built-in price comparision, more detailed store page, extra search filters, and highlighting. I've used it for a long time and honestly, when I am forced to use Steam without the enhancements, I feel it. (And I don’t like it.
The 2024 Steam Autumn Sale will run until December 4. Steam is notorious for struggling when the first big sales start, so prepare to be patient until the initial rush has passed.
