Steam’s Winter Sale 2023 is now live.

Running until January 4, 2024, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT, the promotion includes “huge savings on 1,000s of games”, according to Valve.

Featured discounts include:

• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for $48.99 / £50.99 (30% off)
• EA Sports FC 24 for $27.99 / £23.99 (40% off)
• Diablo 4 for $35.99 / £35.99 (40% off)
• Resident Evil 4 for $29.99 / £24.99 (50% off)
• Persona 5 Royal for $29.99 / £24.99 (50% off)
• Street Fighter 6 for $39.59 / £32.99 (34% off)
• Sonic Superstars for $35.99 / £32.99 (40% off)
• Hogwarts Legacy for $29.99 / £24.99 (50% off)
• The Last of Us Part I for $41.19 / £33.49 (33% off)
• Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition for $12.49 / £9.99 (75% off)

While the discounts available in the Winter Sale are widespread and some are significant, it’s always worth checking prices elsewhere before buying as Steam still might not be the cheapest place to purchase the game you’re after.

For example, the Epic Games Store’s ongoing Holiday Sale also includes major discounts on some of this year’s biggest games, including EA Sports FC 24 for $19 / £16, Hogwarts Legacy for $24 / £20, Alan Wake 2 for $27 / £21.50 and Assassin’s Creed Mirage for $23 / £21.

The Epic Games Store is also giving away Melvor Idle free of charge until 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm GMT today, when it will be replaced by another giveaway.

GOG is giving away five free games as part of its Winter Sale too.

And Sony launched PlayStation Store’s Holiday Sale this week. Billed as the marketplace’s “biggest sale event of the year”, it includes over 4,500 discounted games and DLC packs for PS5 and PS4.
