The 2024 Steam Winter Sale kicked off today with a veritable avalanche of savings, and as we always do, we're putting together a big list of our favorite deals to help you figure out what you want to throw your money at. But we wanted to center this one out right away: Elden Ring is 40% off, taking it to $36/£30/£36 for just the second time on Steam since its February 2022 release.
You've probably already heard this but just in case, Elden Ring is a god-tier videogame. We scored it 90% in our review and that's a pretty big deal, but what's even bigger (from my perspective, anyway) is that I liked it—I liked it so much it basically took over my life for half of 2022. This matters because I really don't like soulslikes, and I think it's important to note that even after immersing myself for months in the absolute magic of Elden Ring, I still don't like soulslikes. It's a DNA-level dislike, and yet Elden Ring (with some help from a few determined PC Gamer pals) managed to punch through it and make me a believer. It's just that good.
