The Steam Winter Sale has gone live

Embrace the inevitable - the Steam Winter Sale has begun marking that magical time of year when you have to buy your loved ones gifts and presents, but instead, you end up throwing your money at all of these sweet deals and discounts. Damn you, Gabe! You've ruined the Christmas again!

There's so much stuff to look at that you can really get lost. For example, the whole Assassin's Creed franchise is on a sale of epic scale with discounts going as high as 67% - including the freshly released Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Assassin's Creed Origins from the previous year as a follow-up. The rest of the series' entries are also on display. Apart from that, there're games for literally everyone. Strategies, shooters, simulators, RPGs - you name it:

• Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience -33%
• Monster Hunter: World -34%
• Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition -35%
• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition -60%
• Jurassic World Evolution -75%
• ...and much more!

There's also a special festive event called the Steam's Extremely Cozy Cottage of Surprises with a dedicated landing page where you can find a bunch of digital freebies ranging from Holiday emojis and wallpapers to special items called knick-knacks which are usable for a limited time. The details can be found via the link.

Don't forget about the ongoing voting for the Steam Awards - the only community awards ceremony that really matters. It is worth noting the event itself covers only PC games released on Steam - but frankly that should be obvious. Voting closes January 3rd.

The Winter Sale runs through January 3rd as well, so you have plenty of time to grab whatever you find most attractive specifically for you. Once again, here's the link - or you can just launch the Steam client.
