Steam Autumn Sale kicks off with XCOM and Walking Dead

Wallet-wrecking event lasts through Monday

In case you hadn’t been paying attention to Steam today, whether intentionally or otherwise, the platform’s Autumn Sale has officially started. As always, you’ll want to keep an eye on the flash sales (Star Wars: KotOR II for $2.49, for example) and the daily deals above everything else until the final day. The promo starts strong with its first batch of dailies:

• XCOM: Enemy Unknown ($33.49)
• Magic: The Gathering – Duels 2013 ($4.99)
  
• The Walking Dead ($12.49)
  
• Darksiders II ($16.99)
  
• Age of Empires III Complete ($9.99)
  
• Terraria ($3.39)

From what I’ve seen of upcoming deals in general, this may be my most restrained Black Friday week in recent years. For Steam specifically, it’s usually the same stuff that gets marked down and they’ve gotten me with many of those titles in prior sales. That said, Dishonored, Chivalry, and a few other newer releases might just tiger uppercut my wallet at the last minute.
