The Game Awards 2024 is happening today, December 12, at 4:30 p.m. PT, and expectations are high following the report that there’ll be some major reveals. Leading up to the event, Steam’s The Game Awards 2024 sale has gone live, with an elusive Helldivers 2 armor making a comeback.
So, what kind of Steam sale is this? I’m glad I asked. The Game Awards Steam sale consists of discounted games that have earned nominations for the 2024 show. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Animal Well, Black Myth: Wukong, Helldivers 2, and many more are on sale ahead of the show. The sales page on Steam also highlights some winners from prior events, although not all of them are discounted.
The sales page is not too hard to navigate. Tabs at the top quickly take you to Featured, Past Winners, and 2024 Nominated Titles categories. There are tabs for 2024 Winners and Just Announced, but those won’t point to anything until after the show concludes.
The Game Awards 2024 Steam sale brings back an exclusive Helldivers 2 armor
The sale also coincides with the return of an armor set for Helldivers 2: the TR-117 Alpha Commander. This set was given away as a free Twitch reward back in February. Those who missed out have asked if it’ll ever be seen again.
You can grab the set starting now by visiting the Helldivers 2 events page. It’s only available for a week, so you better get on it before it’s gone again. The green light armor comes with the Med-Kit passive, adding two more Stims with effects that last two seconds longer. Helldivers 2 has been nominated for four awards, including Best Multiplayer Game.
Helldivers 2 isn’t alone with the free in-game items. No Man’s Sky owners can grab the Starborn Phoenix Ship for free right now. Hit this link and click on “Add to Account” to get a new ride.
The Game Awards 2024 begins later today. Be sure to stay locked on Destructoid for all of our TGA coverage.
