Indie titles have also had their prices slashed – check out Rocket League, reduced by 40% at £8.99 and This War Of Mine selling for just £2.99 which is a big 80% off.
Valve introduce new deals each day throughout the sale, so if the game you want isn’t on sale this evening, don’t lose hope.
There is a Steam mobile app, which you can download on iOS and Android, where you can keep track of the latest deals.
Steam sales are infamous for leaving gamers with an enormous library of games they will probably never play.

What is Steam?
Steam is a digital shop, a bit like the Google Play and iTunes app stores – but for PCs, not mobile phones and tablets.
Gaming company Valve launched Steam in 2004, and it now has the biggest catalogue of games to buy and download of any online site.
Steam is also a social networking site – with discussion groups, a messaging system and on-site rewards.
