PC Gaming News: Steam Sale, Apex Update (Nov 3, 2026)

PC gaming news this week is dominated by deep Steam discounts and the start of a new Apex Legends season. Here is what matters, with the deal timing updated as of November 6, 2026.

Steam's November discounts

A November 2 roundup (prices checked on US Steam accounts) found steep cuts. Tomb Raider is $1.99, down from $19.99, and Dying Light Essentials Edition is $2.49, down from $24.99, each about 90% off. The roundup also lists Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration at $2.99 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition at $3.99 (both 90% off), Dying Light 2: Reloaded Edition at $11.99 (80% off), Dying Light: The Beast at $29.99 (50% off), Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Resident Evil Village at $9.99 each (75% off), and Resident Evil Requiem at $48.99 (30% off). The roundup headlines "save up to 90%", but only some deals reach that level.

Timing matters: according to the roundup, the Resident Evil offers ended on November 3, the Tomb Raider offers end on November 6 (today), and the Dying Light promotions end on November 9. Check the current price in your own Steam region before buying.

Apex Legends Season 31

On the live-service side, Apex Legends: Cipher (Season 31) was scheduled to launch on November 3, 2026, with official patch notes due a day earlier, on November 2.

Why no one copies Outlast

In a more reflective story, PC Gamer reports that Red Barrels' co-founder is as confused as fans are about why nobody has tried to replicate Outlast's success. Asked why, his answer was, "Honestly, I don't know."

Assassin's Creed franchise update

Ubisoft gave an update on its Assassin's Creed roadmap. For the codename "Hexe" project, the next single-player Assassin's Creed set in the 17th-century Holy Roman Empire, the next major update will come in 2027. Valhalla's New Game Plus mode was slated to arrive with a November 5 update, letting players start a fresh run while carrying over progression. Ubisoft also said it currently has no other Assassin's Creed remake actively in development, while it will keep exploring ways to bring older titles back.

The bottom line

If you are shopping sales, the Dying Light deals run longest (until November 9), while the Tomb Raider offers end today. Apex Legends Season 31 was due to launch on November 3, and Assassin's Creed fans can expect Hexe news in 2027, not before.
