It wouldn't be the holidays without a Steam Sale, and the first one of the season -- called the "Exploration Sale" -- drops the day before Thanksgiving.
This time around, a specific genre or series isn't the main target. Instead, discounts can be found all over the store, from small indie titles to some of the biggest games to date. Obviously, Valve will highlight a few choices on the front page, but if you have a growing Wishlist of games in your account, chances are some of them will be on sale.
A big difference between this current sale and past events is that there won't be any daily deals, flash sales, or community voting to decide the next game to be put on sale. This is a new approach for the company, as some customers in the past have waited until the last minute for the best deals, but this time around the prices stay the same for the entire duration.
Speaking of which, the Exploration Sale will go on through the Black Friday weekend and end on (Cyber) Monday, November 30 at 10 am PST.
