Steam Winter Sale 2023: best deals, how long is the sale, and more

By

Prepare your wallets, because the Steam Winter Sale 2023 is here to drain whatever cash you have leftover from any holiday spending. Thankfully, you don’t have to have a lot left in your bank account since Steam consistently offers some of the steepest discounts on the platform’s biggest titles for these sales. From award-winning AAA experiences to smaller, more personal indies, there’s a deal here you will want to know about.

Like any sale, the Steam Winter Sale is only here for a limited time. Even if you have too many games in your backlog already, there’s no harm in adding a few more since games don’t have an expiration date. This could also be a perfect time to grab a game as a gift or maybe a multiplayer game to play with friends over the break!

If you want to get into gaming but don't really want to build a gaming PC from scratch, then there are a lot of great pre-built gaming PCs that are worth checking out. In fact, even though the general wisdom is that making your own PC is cheaper, the deals that we've been able to find more than make up the difference, and in some cases, are probably cheaper than if you made it yourself. To that end, check out all the great desktop computer deals we've been able to find and collect below, especially given that quite a few of them can play the best PC games with pretty good graphical settings.

Once you've grabbed a pre-built, check out gaming monitor deals for a chance to save on a nice display. If the machine you pick up needs some upgrades, you can save with GPU deals, SSD deals, and RAM deals.

A Redditor ‘didn’t know’ about the Steam Deck, so they built their own

It's hard to imagine that anyone interested in portable gaming hasn't heard of the Steam Deck, but one Redditor says they "didn't know" it existed. And because of that, they decided to build their own.

The 3D-printed contraption comes from Raven0606, who shared images of the completed handheld on the r/SBCGaming subreddit, which is dedicated to handheld emulators. The build took nine months to complete, and Raven0606 dubbed it the Ryzen Deck in honor of the Steam Deck (they found out about Valve's handheld halfway through the build process).

When is the PlayStation Spring Sale 2024?
The PlayStation Spring Sale started on March 27, 2024, but new deals were added on April 10 that will last until April 24.
