2024’s Steam Autumn Sale has begun. While there are plenty of fantastic deals on video games, the best deal might be that versions of the Steam Deck are available at their lowest price yet.

During this Steam Autumn Sale, the 64GB LCD Steam Deck is discounted by 15% to just $297; meanwhile, the 512GB LCD Steam Deck is discounted by 25% and now only costs $337. For just a little less or a little more than a Nintendo Switch, you can get this PC gaming handheld that will let you experience most of your Steam library on the go.

As I’m writing this, the 64GB version of the Steam Deck is out of stock, but the 512GB model is still available. Keep an eye on the Steam Deck page on Steam throughout the sale, though. The 64GB version might be restocked, or if we’re lucky, other Steam deck models will also get discounted.

Remember that the currently discounted versions are the LCD models and not the more recent OLED models with slightly crisper screens. Still, those versions of the Steam Deck sport respectable specs, and games look good on their 1280 x 800 LCD display. You’ll also get a carrying case with the purchase of either model, which should make it easier to lug these handheld gaming PCs around.

The Steam Autumn Sale will run until 10 a.m. PT on December 4, and those Steam Deck models should be discounted throughout that period (at least until Valve runs out of stock). If you haven’t gotten a Steam Deck yet, now’s the best time to get one.

The Steam Winter Sale ends later this week, so you have just a few more days to pick up any games you want. If there's only a little bit of money left in your Steam Wallet, then you'll want to look at the games on sale at deep discounts right now. Thankfully, tons of fantastic games are available for under $5 during this Steam Winter Sale, and I'm not just talking about Okami or Star Wars: Squadrons. If you haven't played any of the following six titles before, I highly recommend picking them up for cheap before the Steam Winter Sale ends on January 2, 2025.
Titanfall 2
Titanfall 2 Teaser Trailer – PS4, Xbox One and PC

Titanfall 2's reputation proceeds the game itself at this point. Respawn Entertainment's first-person sci-fi shooter underperformed when it launched in 2016, but has gone on to become one of the most beloved FPS games of all time. Its silky smooth game feel puts its gunplay toe-to-toe with the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield, although being able to use a grappling hook to traverse and summon a mech to rain terror on enemies still gives its multiplayer matches a unique feel. On top of that, this game features one of the best single-player shooter campaigns ever made, as it's bursting at the seams with innovative ideas and shocking gameplay twists in each and every level. Titanfall 2 normally costs $30, but you can pick up up during the Steam Winter Sale for just $3.

Get this underrated Star Wars game for just $2 in the Steam Winter Sale
Key art for Star Wars: Squadrons.

Star Wars: Squadrons is the most underrated Star Wars video game to be released since Disney acquired Lucasfilm, and you can pick it up during this Steam sale for just $2. It's a great time to pick it up, too.

December is a month I have always associated with Star Wars. I have fond memories of getting games like 2005's Star Wars: Battlefront II or Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on Christmas as a kid, and Disney has typically released recent Star Wars films in theaters or aired TV shows on Disney+ during this month. Right now, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is airing on Disney+, and its whimsical The Goonies-like vibe resonates with me more than any Star Wars show has since season 1 of The Mandalorian.
