Steam’s winter sales are live – here are the best games to get

Steam’s annual winter sale is live. If you’ve been meaning to buy a few games, either for yourself or as a gift for the next vacation, now is the time to take a look. There are thousands of games for sale on the Steam Store (and you can vote for the 2020 Steam Awards while you’re there).

As you browse, the Epic Games store is also in the middle of its holiday sale. In addition to discounts of up to 75 percent, the offer offers endless $ 10 coupons, meaning you can apply one to a purchase (on “eligible games” priced at $ 14.99 and up), apply another to your next purchase, etc. . And the store will be giving away free games until December 31. As of this writing, the current gift is Metro: 2033 Redux (usually $ 19.99).

These are some of the best deals you can get at both stores. If you’re looking for more game discounts, we’ve rounded up the best deals of the week from Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers here.
