It’s that time of the year we’ve all been waiting for, and we’re not talking about Christmas dinner with our relatives; we’re talking about the Steam Winter Sale 2023, which brings fantastic deals. As you know, this is one of the biggest sales of the year, and many gamers are preparing their wallets just for this one. With new and old games having huge discounts, this is the perfect time to grab some of the best titles of this year if you haven’t played them yet.
10 Games You Should Grab During Steam Winter Sale 2023
From old titles to some of the most recent ones of the year, and even a few who won many awards, there are plenty of deals you can grab in the Steam Winter Sale 2023. However, since listing all of them is challenging, we selected 10 you should add to your backlog this season.
1. Atomic Heart – 50% Off
We’d like to kick off the list with Atomic Heart, one of the best-looking games of the year. While it had some performance issues, the developers have done wonders to correct them, and the game is more than playable. Besides, for those who skipped on it, this is the perfect time to grab it. The Trapped in Limbo DLC is coming in February, so you have plenty of time to catch up with this game’s story.

Best Shooters of 20232. Baldur’s Gate 3 – 10% Off
It might not be the cheapest price ever, but it’s a start for the GOTY winner here at The Nerd Stash. This game took the internet by storm with its ease of playing D&D combat, the lovable characters, and all the permutations you have in the game. No other title does what Baldur’s Gate 3 did, and if you’re one of the few who haven’t played this game, now’s the time to try it.
3. Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak – 50% Off
With the announcement of Monster Hunter Wilds, everyone is returning to their favorite entry of the franchise, and those who favor something new can find it in Rise. This is a fantastic title that returns to the series’ arcade-like roots. It has terrific endgame content and some of the best Layered Armor options you can find for your characters. And, of course, some of the most challenging hunts of the series you can tackle alone or with others. Furthermore, the Sunbreak expansion is also on sale, so it’s a perfect time to try this entry.

Best RPG of 20234. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – 50% Off
Say what you want about Star Wars and its products lately, but if there’s one that’s been nailing it, it is the Jedi series. The sequel to Fallen Order features one of the best stories of the franchise, accompanied by some of the most jaw-dropping cutscenes and setpieces ever. While it had some horrible performance problems, recent patches have fixed them. Ultimately, what awaits you is an incredibly exciting adventure in a galaxy far, far away.
5. Diablo 4 – 40% Off
Diablo 4 had a rough start with an even rougher first season, but after much feedback and adjustments, the game is in a good spot right now. With a new season underway and plenty of time to jump into it, now’s a good time to try this entry. We recommend playing it with friends as it is much more fun, but you can solo most things in the game, so don’t be afraid to venture into these demon-riddled lands.

Best Ongoing Support of 20236. Street Fighter 6 – 34% Off
It was a huge year for fighting games, but our favorite is still Street Fighter 6. After the lackluster fifth entry, this new game revitalized the franchise with its style, accessibility for controls, flashy moves, and a great roster of characters. While some microtransactions are quite expensive, you can play the game without spending a dime, and now that it’s on sale, it’s a great time to get your fighting on.
7. Payday 3 – 25% Off
Another game with a rough launch, but one that eventually got better. If you’re tired of GTA Online‘s heists and want something more immersive, Payday 3 is for you. There are new mechanics and stages to try that people will love. Besides, there are many approaches to every job. So, if you want to commit some video game crimes this year, we can’t recommend this game enough.
8. Harvestella – 50% Off
There have been many farming sims this year, but none are like Harvestella. Made by Square Enix, this title is more story-driven RPG than a farming sim. Yes, you can plant, raise animals, and more. However, the bread and butter is the story and combat. It might not be as deep as Final Fantasy 7 Remake or its sequel, but it’ll provide players with an epic adventure with a cozy feel on the side.
9. Octopath Traveler 2 – 30% Off
Another title from Square Enix we had to add to our list of the best Steam Winter 2023 deals. Octopath Traveler 2 has been out for a while, but it rarely goes on sale. After getting much feedback from the first entry, the studio made the right changes for the sequel. With new characters, fighting mechanics, and a beautiful world to explore, this is an adventure of epic proportions.
10. Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Digital Deluxe – 60% Off
There’s nothing more fitting for this season than fighting huge monsters in cold territory, and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne provides you with that. While the base game is already huge, the expansion adds several new functions and monsters. You have some of the most challenging and epic fights of the game here, and the game’s at its lowest price ever. If you want to prepare for Wilds, now’s the time.
The Steam Winter Sale 2023 has great deals, and it’s the last big sale of the year. If you’ve been saving some cash for new video games, this is the perfect time to get them. Also, don’t worry about making your backlog bigger. Your New Year’s resolution could be playing everything you buy during this sale, which is something to look forward to, right?
