Summary
Black Friday is approaching and many of you might be holding off on buying games you’ve been eager to play in the hope that they’ll be available for less during what has become the biggest sales event of the year. Steam might have provided you with a chance to avoid the Black Friday rush by cutting the price of some pretty big games ahead of time,Baldur’s Gate 3andCyberpunk 2077among them.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is usually $60 on Steam and let’s be honest, considering how long you will inevitably end up playing it, even at full price that is an absolute steal. If you buy the game on Steamby November 11, you will get it for $47.99. That’s the cheapest the sprawling RPG has ever been available for on Steam and since modding tools have now officially been incorporated into the game, you’re technically getting an even bigger and better version of Baldur’s Gate 3 than ever before.
If you want a game that promises to occupy a lot of your time heading into the holiday season but you want it to feel more futuristic than fantasy - or you’re one of the millions who already own a copy of Baldur’s Gate 3 - then Steam’s sale on Cyberpunk will save you even more. The $60 game is half price,bringing its price down to $29.99. Just like Baldur’s Gate 3, this is the cheapest Cyberpunk has ever been available for on Steam andthe game will return to full price on November 11.
Cyberpunk’s Ultimate Edition, which includes the base game and its award-winning Phantom Liberty DLC, is also on sale,available for 45 percent less than usual.

The discounted hits on Steam keep on coming.Hades is on sale,as is Balatro. Not a game that will take time from you in the same way that Baldur’s Gate 3 will, but I’d be fascinated to find out the average play time between the two for those who have spent a lot of time with both.
