The Steam Winter Sale has returned yet again to offer jaw-dropping discounts to gamers as they prepare to stock their Steam library before the end of the year. For many players, the Steam Winter Sale is when they look out for games that they missed during the Autumn (or what can be termed as the “Black Friday'') Sale.
The 2022 Winter Sale brings considerable discounts to popular games, with many hitting record lows in discounts. This isn’t surprising, as Steam is well known for its discounts. With over 65000 items on sale this year, plays have quite a handful to choose from.
Some of the best deals during the sale are directed toward the “open world” genre of games.
