At long last, the Steam winter sale is here, and gamers across the world are getting ready to spend their “hard-earned” holiday money on some new games. From December 22 to January 5, Valve’s storefront is giving players some of the best deals of the year to splurge on. But what are the best Steam winter sale deals you can get between now and the end of the event?
Fortunately for you, I decided to spend some of my incredibly valuable time scouring the deals and find the games worth checking out for the price. And because of the rise of the Steam Deck in 2022, I made sure to mark the games that are “verified” for Valve’s handheld gaming machine. And remember, just because a game isn’t “Steam Deck verified”, that doesn’t mean you can’t play it on the handheld. It just may not work fully as expected.
Note: Verified games will have a checkmark.
