Steam Winter Sale lets you save huge on Sekiro, Red Dead Redemption 2, and more

By
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Steam’s annual Winter Sale has begun, and like always, the digital store is offering some impressive savings on some of the biggest video games. Regardless of whether you’re interested in shooters, role-playing games, action, or strategy, there is a deal waiting for you right now. Here are some of the deals we’re most excited about.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was just awarded The Game Awards 2019’s coveted game of the year prize, and it’s available on Steam for just $39 right now. The incredibly difficult action game blends elements of studio From Software’s past work with a new parrying system that creates some of the most intense melee combat encounters we’ve ever experienced. It also includes more stealth elements and direct storytelling that is far less confusing than the Souls series or Bloodborne.

Speaking of game of the year titles, 2018’s Red Dead Redemption 2 has come to Steam and is on sale for $48 during the Winter Sale. It’s a prequel to the original game, featuring new protagonist Arthur Morgan, and it chronicles an outlaw gang’s encounters with law enforcement hell-bent on removing the last remnants of the Wild West from America.

The massively underrated Devil May Cry 5 is on sale for less than $20 during the Steam Winter Sale, and comes with extra Red Orb currency to help you get your character’s abilities more quickly. After more than a decade away from Dante and Nero, we finally return to see them struggling with a mysterious new demon king while receiving assistance from the equally mysterious “V.” We recommend getting the slightly pricier Deluxe Edition, which comes with hilarious live-action versions of the game’s cutscenes.

If you need to get your strategy fix, then look no further than Civilization VI, which is being offered at a ridiculously low $15, down from the standard $60. The game is the latest in Firaxis’ long-running series, and has added a continuous stream of new leaders and content since its initial release. There are also new expansions that you can purchase, which are similarly on sale if you’re looking to get the full version of the game for a cheap price.

Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't a game that's wanting for content. With a campaign that lasts nearly 50 hours -- and enough extra content to keep players busy well past 100 -- it's about as close to a complete western experience as you can get. But that hasn't stopped the modding community from putting together some impressive new material for Rockstar's hit title. If you find yourself growing bored of roaming the wild west, installing any of these mods is bound to liven up the experience. Here are the best mods currently available for Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a highly detailed open-world game that really leans into the idea of realism. From lifelike character animations to weather, and certain horse "parts," RDR2 wants you to feel like you're in America's heartland circa 1899. The realism extends to the story's methodical pacing and belief that you should spend a ton of time working your way through the world.

Still, RDR2 is a video game, and it's a virtual playground filled with fun and hilarious possibilities. That's where cheat codes come in to spice things up. Like the original RDR, there are a variety of cheat codes you can enter in to turn the realism notch down a tad and see what kind of trouble you can get into. From infinite ammo to unlimited drunkenness and virtual invulnerability, cheat codes can be fun to mess around with in RDR2.

Xbox Game Pass gets a significant shake-up to its Xbox One library as it swaps out Grand Theft Auto V for Red Dead Redemption 2 on May 7.

GTA V's exit comes suddenly, as it was only added to the subscription service on January 3. Players will have two weeks to wrap up any dirty work that Trevor, Franklin, and Michael have to finish in Los Santos. Alternatively, they can purchase a copy of the game, which is still a top-selling title nearly seven years after release, to continue their Grand Theft Auto Online adventure. Game Pass members can get GTA V for 20% off, putting it at $24 for the base game. Premium bundles and Shark Cards for its multiplayer mode are similarly discounted.
