Sam & Max Patrolling Steam

15
Telltale Games today announced that its well-received first season of Sam & Max adventure games has been released through Valve's Steam service. Telltale concluded the season in April, and has stated its intention to follow up with a second season.

All six episodes are now downloadable, each for $8.95; until June 22, each episode has a 10% discount applied for a final price of $8.06. Compilations of Episodes 1-3 and 4-6 are available for $19.99 each.

Throughout Sam & Max: Season 1, episodes were released first to GameTap subscribers, then put up for individual purchase two weeks later on Telltale's own site for $8.95 each. Telltale and retail publisher The Adventure Company also recently announced two separate physical Sam & Max: Season 1 packages.

"Digital distribution is clearly a core component of our business and we're really impressed by Valve's approach to the market," said Telltale CEO Dan Connors. "The Steam folks have a great understanding of how robust online channels can bring new value added content, product expansions and serialized episodes to keep audiences regularly engaged."
