Steam’s Winter Sale is live today, December 18, 2025, and the storefront is stacked with price cuts across big-budget releases and indie hits. We have gone through basically all of the games and decided to let you know what are the best offers. Hopefully this short list of games would help you decide if it’s a purchase or not for you.
Standout bargains
Below are some headline picks from the sale. Prices and discounts are the ones listed on the storefront at launch and may change as the event runs.
- Avowed – $34.99 (50% off). One of the bigger RPGs of the year hitting what looks like an all-time low.
- Slay the Spire – $2.49 (90% off). Card roguelike perfection for pocket change.
- Hogwarts Legacy – $5.99 (90% off). Big world RPG for a tiny price if it’s on your list.
- Persona 5 Royal – $17.99 (70% off). Deep JRPG with a generous discount.
- Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth – $34.99 (50% off). A big franchise entry cut in price.
- Resident Evil 4 Remake – $15.99 (60% off). A solid horror pick at a low price.
$10 and under
For bargain hunters who want hours of gameplay without spending much, the sale has plenty of sub-$10 finds. A few clear steals include Roadwarden at $2.74 (75% off) and Yoku’s Island Express at $1.99 (90% off).
Newer 2025 releases worth checking
The sale also trims prices on recent 2025 releases. “Avowed” appears in both the new-release and all-time-low lists, and other 2025 entries such as The Alters and Hades 2 are discounted enough to be worth a look if they were on your radar. Prices and availability can shift during the event, so the best approach is to snag what you actually plan to play and avoid impulse hoarding. If hunting deals is the goal, consider making a short wishlist before the weekend to keep spending sane.
