It is that time of year again, the Steam Autumn Sale is here. Thousands of games are currently discounted on Steam, making this a perfect time to grab the game you’ve had your eye on for a while. But, if you’re unsure of what game you might want to play next, we have plenty of suggestions for what you need to be checking out while the sale is on between November 21-28.
Here are the 12 best games you need to buy during the Steam Autumn Sale.
Street Fighter 6 – 34% Off
Fighting game fans are being treated well over this 12-month period, with Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1, and Tekken 8 all being released within months of each other. So let’s kick things off with one of those games on sale right now during the Steam Autumn Sale.
Street Fighter 6 is currently 34% off, which may not be the biggest discount, but the game is only five months old at this point. Even at launch, Street Fighter 6 may be one of the best fighting games in some time and Capcom hasn’t even begun to release new fighters, which will add even more value to an already fantastic fighting game.

Cyberpunk 2077 – 50% Off
Cyberpunk 2077 started as an incredibly disappointing game, failing to live up to the expectations of its eight-year development cycle. But, CD Projekt Red refused to let the game go down in history as a letdown and worked tirelessly to redeem the game and bring it to the standards that it should have been at launch.
Their hard work paid off and Cyberpunk 2077 is now hailed as one of the best games of this generation. Recently, an expansion DLC called Phantom Liberty was released to overwhelming critical acclaim. While Phantom Liberty isn’t on sale, the main game is currently 50% off so you can check out the main game before jumping into the must-play Phantom Liberty.

The Call of Duty Modern Warfare series was rebooted in 2019 and the third new entry in the series was released earlier this month.

But, that means that the Steam sale is a great opportunity to go back to where the reboot began with the incredible Modern Warfare from 2019. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare features one of the best campaigns of recent times and the multiplayer is solid and still provides a lot of fun today.
