Steam Winter Sale Starts December 18 at 10 a.m. PT

A new Steam trailer previews featured deals, with heavy traffic likely to cause short load delays at launch.

Overview

  • The sale goes live globally on Thursday at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. UTC, with some regions seeing a local start on December 19.
  • Valve says the event runs through January 5, giving players the holiday period to shop discounts.
  • Steam’s trailer highlights planned deals on Hades II, Dispatch, Elden Ring Nightreign, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Borderlands 4, and more.
  • Outlets note that exact pricing is not yet disclosed, and past patterns suggest steeper cuts on older titles with recent 2025 releases also likely to see discounts.
  • Because the rollout is simultaneous worldwide, brief downtime or delays as regional store pages populate are possible at the moment the sale begins.
