The leaves are changing, the air is getting chilly, and Steam is putting hundreds of killer games on sale. That’s right, it is already time for the seasonal Steam sale, this time it is the Steam Autumn Sale. Unlike PS5 and Xbox Series X players, Steam regularly hosts massive sales that put everything from the biggest AAA games of the year to cult indie hits on deep discount. That could be a perfect way to fill up your backlog with amazing games at a fraction of the price, but only if you don’t get carried away and start buying anything and everything you see.

Before you go diving through the deals yourself, let me highlight all the best games in the Steam Autumn Sale with the deepest discounts.

Valve has confirmed that Steam Machine is shipping this summer, giving PC gamers a real launch window for its SteamOS living room PC. The missing piece is still price, and that’s the detail many buyers need before they can decide whether it fits their setup.

The update came as Valve expanded its Verified program to cover Steam Machine and Steam Frame. For Steam Machine, games will be checked for default controller support, default graphics settings, and how well they run without manual setup. Valve says the hardware is roughly six times as powerful as Steam Deck, while still using SteamOS, the Steam interface, and Proton.

Corsair NIGHTSWORD v2 Wireless Stream Deck gaming mouse side view

Corsair has launched the Nightsword v2 Wireless SD Stream Deck gaming mouse, a right-handed wireless mouse with a dedicated Stream Deck launch button, at Computex 2026.

The Stream Deck support is an in-house integration rather than a third-party collaboration, since Corsair owns Elgato.

Nvidia just answered that question at Computex 2026, in the form of the RTX Spark superchip, and Jensen Huang’s comments about what comes next suggest that it wasn’t a one-time experiment.
