Steam Winter Sale 2023: best deals, how long is the sale, and more

By

Prepare your wallets, because the Steam Winter Sale 2023 is here to drain whatever cash you have leftover from any holiday spending. Thankfully, you don’t have to have a lot left in your bank account since Steam consistently offers some of the steepest discounts on the platform’s biggest titles for these sales. From award-winning AAA experiences to smaller, more personal indies, there’s a deal here you will want to know about.

Like any sale, the Steam Winter Sale is only here for a limited time. Even if you have too many games in your backlog already, there’s no harm in adding a few more since games don’t have an expiration date. This could also be a perfect time to grab a game as a gift or maybe a multiplayer game to play with friends over the break!

Best gaming chair deals: Save on Corsair, Razer, and more
Razer - Iskur Gaming Chair.

When we start to play, we can often lose track of time, which is perfectly fine given that we absolutely love to play. That said, sitting in front of a computer for hours and hours isn't really healthy since it can affect your circulation and hurt your back, which isn't great at all. That said, having a good gaming chair can help with some of those issues, such as providing lumbar support and more breathability, and some chairs can even help with circulation. Of course, the quality that you get depends a lot on the price, which is why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite gaming chair deals for you below across various price brackets.

Also, if you're still in the shopping phase and haven't fully built your gaming setup yet, be sure to check out these gaming PC deals, gaming monitor deals, and gaming console deals to deck yourself out with the best stuff.

Best PS5 SSD deals: Add more storage to your PS5 from $125
A 2TB WD Black

When the PlayStation 5 first came out, you couldn't expand the internal storage because there weren't really any SSDs with the latest PCIe Gen 4x4 tech that works specifically with the PS5. Luckily, since then, there have been a lot of great NVME SSDs that work great with the PS5. Even better, there are a lot of SSDs for the PS5s with large sizes all the way up to 8TB, which is pretty massive, although you probably don't need anything that massive. Either way, we've gone out and collected some of the best SSDs for the PS5 for you below.

That said, if you haven't picked up a PS5 yet, be sure to check out these excellent PS5 deals, and if you already own one, maybe check out these PS5 game deals to expand your library.

Steam is introducing a new system to improve the "helpfulness" of user reviews on its platforms, and it may spell bad news for your sass and one-word jokes.

Valve posted a platform update Wednesday, and along with the usual patches and bug fixes, it introduced the beta for a user review system, which is now on by default during its testing period. It seeks to rank reviews by quality, moving comments that help people with making a buying decision up and pushing jokey ones down.
