One of the best sales Steam has every year is the Winter Sale, and since we’re about to wrap up an excellent 2025, at least in terms of gaming, it is the time for spending. Since there are thousands of games out there that you can get at a low price, we’ve decided to make a list of 10 must-play titles that you should grab while the sale lasts. So, grab your wallet, make sure you have enough money, and apologize to your backlog because it is about to get bigger.
Hades II – 25% Off
Let’s begin with one of the most anticipated roguelikes of recent memory, and one that blew us away as soon as its 1.0 update launched: Hades II. This highly awaited sequel delivered in every possible way. Combat felt much better, bosses and enemies were way more challenging, and the characters were as endearing as always. And yes, there are even more ways to romance those cute Underworld dwellers.
Jurassic World Evolution 3 – 20% Off
The dino park management sim didn’t reach the heights it intended with the second entry, but Jurassic World Evolution 3 has fixed every single thing that didn’t work, added many more species, an interesting breeding system, and more tools than you can imagine to work on your park. It might have launched just a few months ago, but it is already part of the Steam Winter Sale, and one deal you can’t miss while it lasts.
Diablo 4 – 40% Off
We all know you can purchase this one on Battle.net, but let’s face it: we just all love Steam a little bit more. Fortunately, Diablo 4 is on Steam, and now’s the perfect time to buy it. Besides the recent announcement of the new expansion, those who pre-order get to play the Paladin right now, which is one of the best classes in the whole game. On top of that, the current season has been loved by many, so there’s no better time to join the grind than now.
Silent Hill f – 40% Off
One of the scariest and best-looking games of the year is definitely Silent Hill f, and frankly, we were not expecting it to be a part of the Steam Winter Sale. Thankfully, it is, and it boasts a 40% discount, which is one of the lowest prices the game has had. While this entry moves away from the typical Silent Hill setting, people have praised it a lot, claiming it is one of the best in the series.
The Outer Worlds 2 – 30% Off
Those RPG fans should know that Obsidian delivered once again with The Outer Worlds 2. The predecessor wasn’t bad, but it had some pacing issues, and combat felt a bit stiff. The sequel, however, improves upon every system and shines when it comes to player freedom, branching paths, and customizable combat. Plus, the humor remains top-notch, and that’s just another cherry on top of the RPG masterpiece.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered – 33% Off
We were not expecting one of the biggest shadowdrops of recent memory to be the remaster of Oblivion, but here we are. This beloved title boasts new visuals and several gameplay improvements that make this adventure through Cyrodiil much better. While you can play it through Game Pass, many prefer having it on Steam, and for those faithful Steam players, this title is at a great price right now.
Enshrouded – 20% Off
We usually don’t feature Early Access games on our list, but Enshrouded is one of the best out there, and one that you should get while the Steam Winter Sale is live. For starters, Enshrouded already feels like a complete game with a lot of content, especially if you compare it to some underwhelming 1.0 titles. Furthermore, it released one of its biggest updates not long ago, which added water physics, an underwater biome, and a combat revamp that makes the leveling experience much more enjoyable.
Stellar Blade – 20% Off
It might be a bit weird to put Stellar Blade on the Steam Winter Sale list, but the reason is that it launched on PC in 2025. While it’s been out for a while on PS5, the PC version brought many new things, including the recent crossover DLCs, such as NieR: Automata and Nikke, and all the PC graphical suite that will make this gorgeous game look even better. There are even more outfits to collect now, which is great for those who love trying new outfits on Eve.
Dune: Awakening – 35% Off
We’ve talked about Dune: Awakening countless times here on the site, but there are many reasons why. For starters, it is one of the best Dune games out there. Its story, characters, and gameplay loop are addictive. Also, it combines superb survival mechanics with a living multiplayer world where players affect Arrakis with their actions. Also, the developers announced a huge update, and many players are rushing into the game to rebuild their bases and prepare for the harsh desert once more.
Sniper Elite: Resistance – 40% Off
To wrap the list, we have one of our favorite stealth titles of the year, which may feel too similar to its predecessor, but it has some of the most intricate levels in the series: Sniper Elite: Resistance. This game runs parallel with the plot of Sniper Elite 5, so a few locations and weapons may feel familiar. However, it is the new guns and maps that make this title stand out on its own. If you want to pull off those epic cinematic shots once again, you can’t miss this one.
Ultimately, there are hundreds, nay, thousands of games to purchase during the Steam Winter Sale, but these are some of the standouts of this year that are at a great price and offer hours of fun. Whether you get all ten or just a few of them, they are all worth your money, and you’ll be glad to have them in your library.
