Valve has announced that the Steam Winter Sale will start next week on December 22nd. I can already see myself standing in front of my mirror chanting “I don’t need any more games” before I sit back down at my desk and splurge on everything I missed from this year’s RPS advent calendar.
Valve has given us a sneak peek at what will be on sale, so click through to see what you should avoid buying until it launches.
So, based on what’s shown in this trailer, the games you definitely shouldn’t buy before they’re discounted on December 22nd include: Fallout 76, SD Gundam Battle Alliance, Ready or Not, Two Point Campus, Persona 5 Royal, Sonic Frontiers, Naraka Bladepoint, Raft, New World, Construction Simulator, Across the Obelisk, F1 Manager 2022, Dinkum and The Wandering Village.
Having said that, I know that at least New World and Naraka: Bladepoint are already 50% off, and it would be weird if this sale pushed them to an even bigger discount. Bladepoint is also currently running a free weekend which is worth a jump/parkour somersault if my review of Naraka: Bladepoint is to be believed.
When the sale starts I have my eye on Dinkum which is Stardew Valley but in Australia. There’s nothing more Christmassy than disappearing into your childhood bedroom to raise kangaroos.
December 22 will also see the start of voting for the Steam Awards, which have a new Steam Deck-inspired category this year for “Best Game on the Go.” Spoilers: it’s a Marvel Snap. No, wait, those are vampire survivors. No, Snap. Hmmm.
