Steam Winter Sale is live with Steam Awards 2025 open for voting

This is the sale event you've been waiting on isn't it? The Steam Winter Sale 2025 has arrived with a great many thousands of games discounted. No doubt the Steam store will be a little flaky for a while, as it usually struggles to cope with the increased demand of everyone madly throwing their payment cards at the servers.

• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
• ARC Raiders
• Dispatch
