The big one, the sale that players save their cash and put off buying the biggest games for, has finally landed. Late on Thursday evening (Dec. 19) the Steam Winter Sale 2024 began reducing quite literally thousands of games across the internet’s favorite gaming platform. There’s quite simply too many deals to go over individually, and we recommend you check it out yourself, but here’s some highlights
- Titanfall 2 – $2.99 – One of the best FPS of all time for less than the price of a Big Mac.
- The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth – $4.94 – The king of roguelikes for a historical low price.
- Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition – $12.23 – The precursor to Baldur’s Gate 3 at a historic low price that you have to pick up.
Square Enix Winter Sale

Beyond just the regular Steam Winter Sale, Square Enix also kicked off their own Winter sale just a day or two before the start of the main Steam one. That means almost every single game in the Square Enix catalogue (including all the Final Fantasy games) are on some kind of discount.
- Life is Strange: True Colors Ultimate Edition – $31.33 – That’s every single Life is Strange game for just over 30 dollars.
- PowerWash Simulator – $17.49 – Strangely satisfying washing simulator game that’s worth every penny
- Old Final Fantasy Games – $Prices Vary – Almost every Final Fantasy game from the extensive list can be picked up for less than $20. A steal for hundreds of hours of gameplay.

Gamesplanet is an online storefront that has been rising in popularity due to its often cheaper-than-Steam deals on Steam Key delivery games, and their XMAS Sale is now on. And while many of these third-party retailers have unfortunate reputations, Gamesplanet appears totally legit. There’s some great deals on more recently released games.
- Persona 5 Royal – $22.99

GOG, formerly Good Old Games, boasts a storefront of completely DRM-free games, including titles from massive publishers like Blizzard and EA. Look, we’re not saying you should try and stick one to Activision by buying games from here, but lets put it this way: Even if GOG somehow gets shut down in the future, you still own all the games. Anyway, go shop the sale!
- Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (-20%)
- Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition (-60%)
- Heroes of Might and Magic® 3: Complete (-75%)
