Spring is here, but that’s no reason to go outside—not when the Steam store has a killer sale going on. The video game digital distribution service and storefront for PC games is running a Spring Sale between now and March 23, offering you a chance to pick up a backlog of acclaimed games at a steep discount.
Almost everything in the Steam store is on sale, some of them for as much as 90% off, including Civilization IV, so it’s worth perusing their inventory to see what draws your eye. The sale continues through March 23 at 10 a.m. PT, so time is running out.
