The Steam Winter Sale Has Started, Here Are The Best Deals
It’s not truly the holidays until Gabe Newell flips the switch over at Valve HQ that activates the digital storefront’s annual winter sale. This year the sale runs from today until January 5. To help you get to take advantage of this massive sale, I’ve dug through Steam to find 30+ deals worth checking out.
And to help all you Steam Deck owners out there, I’ve split the list up into two sections: Steam Deck-verified games and everything else. A reminder: Just because a game isn’t “verified” doesn’t mean it won’t play well on the Deck; it just means you should do a little bit of research to see how it runs or if it works at all. Of course, this isn’t even close to everything on sale right now, so if you don’t see a game you care about, make sure to check out the full Steam store before January 5 to find even more discounts and deals.
