Autumn is here and so is the 2025 Steam Autumn Sale, two months earlier than usual. Traditionally, the sale has arrived at the end of November, but this year Valve has decided to shake things up. Instead of waiting until the chilly weeks before the Winter Sale, the Autumn Sale now begins in September.

Valve previously explained that the move was to give players a bigger gap between the Autumn and Winter Sales. In past years, the Winter Sale kicked off just weeks after the Autumn Sale ended, leaving little breathing room between two of Steam’s biggest annual events. This time, with an early Autumn Sale, players can enjoy major savings without rushing into the next discount wave.

Big Publisher and Popular Game Highlights

Among the thousands of deals, four major titles stand out for both their popularity and lasting impact.

Horizon Forbidden West – $36 (RM170), 40% off

Guerrilla Games’ open-world epic returns at a steep discount. Players once again join Aloy as she journeys into a lush, post-apocalyptic America filled with towering machines and dangerous tribes. Its stunning visuals, fluid combat, and engrossing narrative make it a must-play adventure for RPG fans.

Monster Hunter Wilds – $49 (RM232), 30% off

Capcom’s latest entry in the beloved series delivers massive beasts, dynamic environments, and cooperative gameplay that rewards skill and strategy.

This discount makes it easier than ever to experience the Phantom Thieves’ journey.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – $8 (RM38), 80% off

CD Projekt Red’s award-winning classic puts players in the boots of Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter navigating political intrigue and personal destiny. With vast open-world exploration, branching choices, and rich storytelling, The Witcher 3 remains one of gaming’s most influential RPGs.

Extras and What’s Missing

Like past sales, you can collect free Steam stickers by browsing your discovery queue and pick up new items in the Steam Points Shop. However, one noticeable omission is the Steam Awards.

Normally, nominations begin during the Autumn Sale, followed by voting in the Winter Sale. This year, the earlier schedule means Valve may need to adjust how the awards work going forward.

The 2025 Steam Autumn Sale is live now and runs until October 6, 2025. Whether you’re hunting for must-play blockbusters, hidden gems, or even hardware discounts, this year’s early sale is the perfect chance to stock up.
