Shop the Steam Winter Sales Event for The Best Last Minute Holiday Gaming Deals
The holidays are here in full force and the way you can tell is that once again, everybody and their mother is releasing a record-breaking AAA title. First there was Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, followed closely by Red Dead Redemption 2 in October. Then November turned up the heat with the highly-anticipated Fallout 76 and Battlefield V games. December kept the party going with Just Cause 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate hitting shelves with tremendous support from gamers everywhere. Although everyone is clamoring for these new games, it’s still tough to pull the trigger on buying one since their $60 price tags never go down. Thankfully, Steam has come to the rescue of gamers in search of a value deal on AAA games with their new Winter Sale that’s going on now until January 3rd, 2019. Let’s peek at some of the hot games that they’re slinging for a fraction of the cost of other retailers.
The Steam Winter Sale features over 15,000 games at great prices during the sale plus a special promotion called the Extremely Cozy Cottage of Surprisesthat gives you the opportunity to receive up to 3 digital items every day you open a door during the 14-day sale. That’s more than 50 possible digital gifts available in your pocket! These special gifts range from in-game items and community items such as Steam Profile Backgrounds and Emoticons from participating games to consumable knick-knacks specifically designed for the sale.
Here are our picks for the top deals during this sale:
The Final Fantasy Collection (50% off)
Final Fantasy has always tugged at the heart strings of gamers across the world since the first iteration was released for the NES more than 21 years ago this month. There have been many spinoffs of the original on top of the 14 additional titles that have been released as part of the main (numbered) series. The combination of enticing narrative gameplay and high quality turn-based-role-playing action sequences have led to this collection being one of the most coveted franchises in video game history. Streamers love to speedrun the collection and viewers love to watch them do it and play it themselves!
Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey (50% off)
Travel back to Ancient Greece to play as a mercenary who fights for both sides as they attempt to unite their family and uncover a malign cult in Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. Ubisoft took everything that they learned from the successes of AC: Black Flag’s story line and AC: Origins gameplay and put it into this amazing game fit for King Leonidas. Odyssey was well reviewed and is up for a Game of the Year award this year. If you’re wondering why this game is discounted so heavily even though it is so good, you’ll have to look to the inopportune time of its release: 1 week before Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Ubisoft’s loss is you gain, amiright?
