Steam's seasonal sales are the perfect time to pick up games at a great price. This autumn, the 'Special Deals' section, featuring a 90% discount, is once again the center of attention, just as it was during the summer.

Back in the summer, titles like Steins;Gate, Crypt of the NecroDancer, Little Nightmares II, and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy gained attention with increased discount rates. This autumn, highly-rated games such as Doom Eternal, Desperados III, Old World, and Transport Fever 2 have increased their discount rates to 90%. These games previously offered maximum discounts of 70% to 75%.

Furthermore, games that previously had maximum discounts of 80% or 85%, such as Mafia III: Definitive Edition, GreedFall, Sniper Elite 5, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Far Cry Primal, have joined the 90% discount lineup.

Control Ultimate Edition and Monster Train have continued their 90% discount streak. Meanwhile, the Destiny 2 DLC Lightfall has increased its discount rate from 90% to 95%, though user reviews remain 'Mostly Negative'.

Meanwhile, in the Steam global top sellers list, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 climbed to 6th place. This appears to be influenced by the Call of Duty showcase on the 1st, which shared news regarding the multiplayer, Zombies mode, and Warzone for the game launching in November. Digimon Story: Time Stranger rose to 2nd place just one day before its release.

In the daily peak concurrent players top 20, Megabonk broke its own record again with 84,383 players, rising to 17th. Monster Hunter Wilds saw a decrease of about 20,000 players three days after its free content update, settling at 108,339. The 'Overwhelmingly Negative' user reviews received on the day of release continue to persist.
