➡️ The Shortcut Skinny: Another Steam sale

  • 📅 Steam Winter Sale runs from 12/22/22-1/5/2022

  • 🎮 Thousands of games will be on sale

  • 🤑 This is Black Friday for PC gamers

Fresh off the release of the new best GPUs, the RTX 4080 and Radeon RX 7900 XTX, the Steam Winter sale is starting next week. So, you’ll be able to put the best gaming PC you just bought to the test for less.

Every year, Steam has several seasonal sales, but the Winter Sale is always the biggest. There are going to be thousands of the best PC games seeing deep discounts. Games like The Witcher 3 – which just saw a juicy next-gen update – are usually the winner here. You should be able to pick up the classics of yesteryear for pennies on the dollar.

This comes via a YouTube teaser released by Steam, and the sale will be running from December 22 to January 5. That gives you around two weeks to stock up your Steam library.

With graphics cards being as expensive as they are these days, sales like this are more important. If you just dropped $1,600 on the RTX 4090, you’re going to welcome any discounts on AAA games that will truly push it to its limits.

But more than that, it’s a great time to pick up games that you were perhaps unsure about. If you’re anything like me, you have a long wishlist of PC games that you want to play, but you’re not really going to spend full price to pick it up.

There will be a ton of games that will see deep discounts, allowing you to be a little bit more experimental with how you play your games. And, as an added bonus, the Steam Awards will also be going on, which is Valve’s own answer to the Game Awards – even if the company gave away a ton of Steam Decks during that show earlier in December 2022.
