SUMMARY
- Steam has began its final sale of the year, the Winter Sale.
- Some of the biggest games in the sale are Baldur's Gate 3, Remnant 2 and many more.
The biggest year-end gaming sale has kick-started. The 2023 Steam Winter Sale is now live. And that means heavy discounts on thousands of games including the top titles of the year. Thus, players can grab some of the biggest titles at a slashed price and make the most of the holidays.
Along with the Steam Winter Sale, like every year the platform also kicks off the voting for its upcoming 2023 Steam Awards. This means users can now head to Steam and start casting their votes for multiple categories at the Steam Awards. Notably, the voting has been narrowed down this year since the preliminary nominations during last month’s Steam Autumn Sale 2023.
Steam Winter Sale 2023 dates
The Steam Winter Sale 2023 began on December 21, 2023, at 6 pm GMT UK time. The sale will remain live until January 4, 2024, at the same time. Thus players have until 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 6 pm BT on January 4, 2024, to add more and more titles to their library at discounted rates.
Players must note that it is likely that Steam servers may be very busy at launch, hence it is advised to be prepared to face lags, delays, and extended load times in viewing available titles. Additionally, the sale will feature some deals that will only be available for a limited time. Therefore, it is important to keep checking back regularly for new offers and grab a good deal as soon as it is spotted.
