When the Year of the Rat ends, the Year of the Ox begins – and marks the start of Steam’s Lunar New Year Sale. Between now and February 15th, thousands of games are discounted at Valve’s store. You see, the real Chinese New Year doesn’t start until tomorrow, but it’s a good idea to celebrate a little earlier (especially when these celebrations involve buying a lot of games that you may have missed at a low price).
If your pockets are still a little clear from last month’s Steam Winter Promotion, okay, you can just look at the Lunar New Year Promotion just for the adorable Ox-themed artwork. There are free animated Ox stickers to get on each settlement day, if you like that, but the background art alone is a wide variety of roses and purples.
After a quick look around, there are a handful of interesting deals. Everyone’s favorite game in 2021, Hades, has a 20% discount, for example. Outer Wilds, everyone’s favorite game the previous year, is 40% off. We will have a post with more substantial recommendations tomorrow, without a doubt.
It runs from today until February 15, at 6 pm GMT / 10 am PT / 1 pm ET.
