STEAM has slashed the prices of loads of top games in a major Christmas promotion.
The online gaming platform’s Steam Winter Sale sees titles discounted by as much as 90%.

It’s a great opportunity to bag some cut-price games.
And if you’ve got some time off over the holiday season, there are some discounts that you definitely won’t want to miss.
We’ve picked out five particularly impressive offerings – and included plenty more to consider too.
PAYS TO PLAY

THE SUN’S FIVE PICKS TO CONSIDER
Here are five of the best buys on Steam right now.
Diablo 4
One of our top picks is Diablo 4, from gaming giant Blizzard Entertainment.
It’s the latest in the iconic RPG series, and only came out in late 2023.
And once again, you’ll be battling eerie hellspawn using a mix of magic and might.
It’s currently down from £41.99 to £25.19, which is a respectable 40% saving.
Diablo 4, £25.19
F1 2025
The real F1 season might have ended, but the action continues in the virtual world with F1 2025.
This well-reviewed racing title is the official game for the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship.
And it includes your favourite drivers, teams and tracks, all stunningly (and realistically) rendered for your gaming pleasure.
It’s now down from £49.99 to £24.99 in a 50% price cut.
Or you can get the souped-up Iconic Edition, which is down from £69.99 to £34.99.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Assassin’s Creed almost needs no introduction – it’s one of the most iconic gaming franchises in history.
For Assassin’s Creed Shadows, you’re taken to feudal Japan where you take on the roles of lethal shinobi assassin and powerful samurai.
It’s a well-reviewed entry to the series, and takes place in a beautiful open world that you’re free to explore.
It’s on offer for £29.99 (down from £59.99) – but the Digital Deluxe Edition is also an option, down from £74.99 to £37.49.

Slay The Spire
If you’re a keen gamer, you might already have heard of Slay the Spire.
It’s a wildly popular deckbuilder that combines card games and roguelikes for endless replayability.
And the discount is frankly too good to ignore.
You can get the game for just £1.99 – that’s 90% off the usual £19.99 price tag. Wow.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition
And last but certainly not least is Red Dead Redemption II.
This open-world Wild West title created by Rockstar Games (the minds behind Grand Theft Auto) is rich, thrilling, and stunningly rendered.
