If your holiday plans involve chillaxing and binging on a ton of video games, we have some great news for you. Now through January 4th at 1PM ET, thousands of great titles are on sale as part of Steam’s annual winter sale, including many of our favorites from the past year.

The ongoing promo offers a great chance to catch up on newer titles, including demon-slaying action RPG Diablo IV ($28 off), the terrific remake of Dead Space($36 off), and Mortal Kombat 1 ($35 off). Other titles that aren’t as discounted but still well worth a look include GOTY contender Baldur’s Gate 3 ($6 off), Cocoon ($5 off), and the delightfully charming deep sea exploration game, Dave the Diver($4 off).

There are plenty of older titles on sale, too, just in case you’ve already played all of the aforementioned 2023 hits. Cyberpunk 2077 is half off at $29.99, for instance, and the recently released Ultimate Edition is already down to just $51.04 ($39 off). The Supergiant Collection is on sale for even less at $35.63 ($94 off) — which is a banger of a deal given the superb bundle includes Hades, Bastion, Transistor, andPyre along with their respective soundtracks.

Diablo IV is the latest installment in Activision Blizzard’s dungeon-crawling series. The live service take on the Diablo franchise has a lengthy mainline story in a sidequest-filled open world, with seasonal content added over time. Read our review.
