Valve has successfully lodged the Steam Winter Sale into the same part of my brain that stores a fondness for shortbread and hot cider. Even if I don't buy anything, it's a holiday tradition to at least look.

Many of the Steam Winter Sale discounts are the same as or similar to those found in the last few seasonal Steam sales, but we've got lots of new and updated discounts on this list, including 40% off Elden Ring (not seen since the last Winter Sale), and the first ever discount on Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

For even more recommendations, we recently compiled a list of great games that always get Steam sale discounts, and you can check out guides to the best RPGs, best FPS games, best strategy games, and best survival games for even more inspiration.

I also suggest having a look at what's free on the Epic Games Store right now, and checking out GOG's Winter Sale.
