2024's Steam Winter Sale kicked off earlier today, bringing a vast number of deep discounts to PC games big and small between now and January 2.

At the end of every year, Valve holds a massive Steam Winter Sale on its PC gaming launcher and storefront. For two weeks, developers have a platform to discount their games on Steam; we often see all-time-low prices for high-profile games during this event. This year's Winter Sale runs concurrently to the 2024 Steam Awards, where Steam users can vote for their favorite titles in categories like Game of the Year and Best Game on Steam Deck. Voting for the 2024 Steam Awards ends at 10 a.m. PT on December 31, while the Steam Winter Sale will run until 10 a.m. PT on January 2, 2025.
