The festive season has arrived, bringing Valve's annual Steam Winter Sale. Scheduled from December 18, 2025, to January 5, 2026, the event features price reductions on several standout titles from the past year, including Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Silent Hill f, and Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Expedition 33 now costs $40, reduced from $50, while Silent Hill f sees a 40% discount that lowers its price to $42. Assassin's Creed Shadows, typically $70, is available for $35, providing an attractive offer for a recent entry in Ubisoft's established franchise. Additional bargains include Stardew Valley at $9 and the challenging exploration game Baby Steps for $13. Further options among 2025's independent successes are Consume Me at $10 and Ball x Pit for $12.
Valve maintains a consistent schedule for its Steam promotions, meaning titles not discounted this time may appear in upcoming events. As holiday breaks approach with potential opportunities for gaming, the current sale presents an ideal moment to acquire fresh releases. Should playtime not occur immediately, these purchases could serve as forward-thinking additions for a possible Steam Machine acquisition next year.
