Steam\u2019s Winter Sale<\/a> has arrived just in time for the holidays, discounting many of 2024\u2019s best games by up to 50%.<\/p>\n

The Steam Winter Sale runs through Thursday, Jan. 2, 2025. You can find deals on games like Helldivers 2<\/a><\/em>, Balatro<\/a><\/em>, Hades 2<\/a><\/em>, and other awesome titles for your Windows PC or Steam Deck that you may have overlooked this year. Every one of the games below landed somewhere on Polygon\u2019s list of the best games of 2024<\/a>, and if the game isn\u2019t discounted to its lowest price yet, it’s pretty darn close.<\/p>\n

For example, Dragon Age: The Veilguard<\/a><\/em> is on sale for $38.99 (was $69.99), while Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2<\/a><\/em> is discounted to $44.99 (was $59.99). You can even pick up one of my personal faves, Tactical Breach Wizards<\/a><\/em>, for $15.99 (was $19.99).<\/p>\n
