Steam Winter Sale 2024 COUNTDOWN: Start Time, End Date, & Sales

2024 is almost over, but Steam has one more sale in store! As usual, the Steam Winter Sale is nearly here to close out the year, and you'll soon have one more chance to snag some discounted games before and even into the new year. Want to know when the sale takes place and what games you can expect to see discounted? We've got the info down below!

When is the Steam Winter Sale 2024

As announced on the official Steam YouTube channel, the Steam Winter Sale will take place start on December 19, 2024, and run until January 2, 2025. If you'd like to get more specific, the sales will all begin at 6pm UTC. As is typical with Steam sales, this one will run for two weeks. While Steam has regular sales throughout the year, its seasonal sales are the biggest and most exciting as they often feature the largest number of games with sizable price cuts. After the Winter sale ends, we won't see another large sale until March and the Steam Spring sale. So if you're looking for a gift or want to treat yourself this holiday season, keep an eye on Steam!
