The 2023 Steam Winter Sale is live. You’ve got until 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BT on January 4, 2024 to add yet more games to your backlog – or, if you’re actually a healthy PC gamer, grab something to play immediately – on the cheap.
The winter sale kickoff also opened voting for the 2023 Steam Awards, which have been narrowed down since the preliminary nominations during the Autumn Sale. You can cast your final votes here. This year’s categories are:
- Game of the Year
- VR Game of the Year
- Labor of Love
- Best Game on Steam Deck
- Better with Friends
- Most Innovative Gameplay
- Outstanding Story-Rich Game
- Best Game You Suck At
- Outstanding Visual Style
- Best Soundtrack
- Sit Back and Relax
The official trailer for the Steam Winter Sale 2023 – and it’s still wild to me that these things have trailers now – featured Steam sale regulars like The Witcher 3 and Dwarf Fortress, as well as newer games such as Atomic Heart and Battlebit Remastered. With the sale now live, heaps of new games and unmissable classics are discounted.
- Baldur’s Gate 3 – 10% off at $53.99 (its lowest price ever, with the same deal also available on GOG and PS5)
- Remnant 2 – 40% off at $29.99 (the still-good first game is 70% off)
- Monster Hunter World – 67% off at $9.89 (now’s the time to prepare for Monster Hunter Wilds)
- Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade – 50% off at $34.99 (Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a-comin’, folks)
- Dave the Diver – 20% off at $15.99 (one of the many 2023 indies you shouldn’t skip)
My favorite game of 2023 was Steam Next Fest, writes our own Rollin Bishop.
