Steam’s Winter Sale to start in hours as gamers are hoping for hefty discounts on big-name games like Baldur’s Gate 3

STEAM’s Winter Sale 2024 is about to kick off in just a few hours, and PC gamers have already prepared their wishlists for the big discounts.

Many players took to Reddit to voice their hopes for the last sale of the year, sharing their wishlists and plans.

Steam Winter Sale 2024 starts at 6pm UK Time / 1pm ET / 10am PT today, December 19, 2024, and here’s what’s on PC gamers’ wishlists for the sale.

Players who have already finished Baldur’s Gate 3 once (or twice), are already looking for similar titles to scratch that CRPG itch.

Larian Studios’ previous games, like Divinity: Original Sin and its sequel, are perfect replacements for BG3, and fans are hoping to get them for cheap.

Baldur’s Gate 3 itself is still high on many people’s wishlists, as players are waiting for deeper discounts than the 20% off we’ve seen during previous sales.

Redditor "MrNigel117" is looking for games giving off indie vibes, like boss rush bullet-hell Void Rains Upon Her Heart, and branching narrative gem Slay the Princess.

He would also appreciate challenging metroidvania Nine Sols and action RPG Atlyss.

Apart from smaller games, other big-name titles from the last few years, like Hogwarts Legacy, God of War Ragnarök, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, and Elden Ring, rank high on people’s wishlists.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is also mentioned frequently, as players are keen on playing the first part of the remake trilogy ahead of FF7 Rebirth’s PC release in January.

A lot of gamers would be happy to pick up any good game, if it is discounted by more than 75% or even 90% of its regular price.

The last big Steam campaign, the Autumn Sale, ended just a few weeks ago, on December 4, and brought quite a few deals.

While many players are excited about the Steam Winter Sale, some were not sure if they’d be buying anything at all.

Reddit user "24OuncesofFaygoGrape" pointed out that Steam might be running sales too often.
