Steam’s Winter Sale has officially begun, and it’s discounting thousands of titles through Jan. 4, 2024. Although Epic Games Store is currently having its own holiday sale through Jan. 10 (one that gives each gamer a 33% off coupon to use on games), this sale is an opportunity to save on a number of excellent titles on Steam, like Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Battlebit Remastered, Wasteland 3, and more.
Below, we’ve highlighted some of the great PC titles discounted during the Steam Winter Sale, which, as an added bonus, are all playable on the Steam Deck. We’ve included links to the Epic Games Store when possible, in case you prefer to shop there.
