Steam Winter Sale 2024 is here, and every gamer in the world is excited to partake in one of Steam’s biggest sales to end the year.
The Steam Winter Sale is a big deal. It’s an annual sale that many game enthusiasts, like us here at GameEels, look forward to. It will start on December 19, 2024, and end on January 2, 2025. Steam offers some very hefty discounts during this time, so if you want to save up on buying some games, you should definitely take this chance.
You may benefit from all of the Steam and Steam Deck deals through January 2 because the most recent promotion lasts for two full weeks, compared to the Autumn Sale from a month ago.
Additionally, we are already aware of the numerous discounts offered during the sale. This is thanks to a recently released teaser we’ll be checking out further down the page.
Winter Sale for Steam Has Provided a Trailer for Us Gamers
Metal Slug Tactics and other relatively recent games will be discounted during Steam’s biggest sale for December, as the trailer below shows. In addition, there are discounts for the sandbox survival game Core Keeper, the racing game CarX Street, and the stealth-based action game Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
Discounts on popular games like Final Fantasy 16, Helldivers 2, and the unexpected smash Manor Lords are also anticipated by fans. Along with the exclusive TCG Card Shop Simulator, colorful titles like Planet Coaster 2 and Castle Crashers will be discounted.
Baldur’s Gate 3, the Game of the Year from the previous year, will be discounted, which is great if you’ve had it on the list of games you want to buy. Lastly, games like Sonic X Shadow Generations, the most current platforming remake, and The Last of Us Part 1 are discounted.
Here’s the trailer posted by Steam’s official X (formerly Twitter) account:
Steam Game Discounts Before the Winter Sale Came Along
Naturally, several titles were already on sale before the Steam Winter Sale 2024 even began. The Standard Edition of Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is now USD 52.49, while the Vault Edition is now at USD 79.99.
God of War Ragnarok is one of the other titles that is presently on sale for USD 47.99. LEGO Horizon Adventures will also be seeing a price reduction, so you can expect more bang for your buck.
Fans can get the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which includes one of the greatest games ever created, for just USD 4.79. That price is a great deal and an absolute steal.
Numerous Resident Evil titles, as well as Star Wars Jedi Survivor (USD 17.49), are already on sale.
Tips to Help You Prepare to Get Cheap PC Games for the Winter Sale
Preparing for a sale is a normal thing to do. In fact, I’d say not having any form of preparation is a wasted opportunity to optimize the benefits of a sale.
Here are some tips that you can take note of to help you get ready for this year’s Steam Winter Sale:
• Tip #1: Hunt Down Those "Historical Low Prices" in Steam
The “historical low” attribute shows the lowest price the game has ever had. Keep your eyes out for green “historical low” labels. It’s the ideal time to buy should you notice the game you’re going to buy has this symbol next to the price.
You can check out websites like SteamDB and GG.Deals to check the prices of the games you want to buy.
• Tip #2: Be Patient and Wait for Other Sales to Kick Off
On the opening day of the sale, some deals may appear so alluring that you might be tempted to make a hasty purchase. However, many different online retailers will also have their own sales, and a few of these deals may be better than those on Valve’s website. Waiting until others begin their events is therefore preferable.
But you’re also good with the Steam Winter Sale 2024 because it’s the sale when Steam often offers some of the best deals for the games on their store.
• Tip #3: Avail of Those Bundles During the Steam Holiday Sale When You Can
Verifying if the game is offered as part of a Steam bundle is another essential thing to do. During the Steam Winter Sale 2024, look for inexpensive bundles to take advantage of an additional discount that adds to the sale price. Additionally, you will only be charged for the titles you do not already own if you already possess some of the products in the package!
To view additional offers, sign in to Steam and navigate down the game page. The cost of the bundle may occasionally be even less than that of a single game.
