Steam Winter Sale Offers Big Discounts on Hit Games

Grab Amazing Deals Until January 5, 2026

The holiday rush is in full effect, signaling the arrival of the Steam Winter Sale. This season, Valve's promotion runs from December 18, 2025, through January 5, 2026, featuring markdowns on several of this year's top games such as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Silent Hill f, and Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Clair Obscur now retails for $40 instead of its original $50. Silent Hill f enjoys a 40% discount, reducing its cost to $42, while Assassin's Creed Shadows, regularly priced at $70, is now available for $35—a notable bargain for Ubisoft's renowned series revival. Furthermore, Stardew Valley is yours for just $9, and you can test your skill with the challenging walking simulator Baby Steps for $13. I’m also tempted to add Consume Me, priced at $10, and Ball x Pit, available for $12, to complete my collection of 2025 indie successes.

Steam sales are a frequent occurrence from Valve, so if the game you're interested in isn't discounted now, it might be soon. As the holiday season presents a chance for downtime and gaming, it could be the ideal moment to enrich your library. If you miss out this year, think of it as a future investment for a Steam Machine purchase in 2026.
