The 15th Annual Steam Winter Sale is on now thru January 5th, offering big savings on thousands of titles, new seasonal items in an upgraded Points Shop, and the chance to vote for the final nominees in the 5th Annual Steam Awards.

In addition to offering massive savings on thousands of titles, the Steam Points Program is updated for the event with new seasonal items -- including animated stickers, avatars, and the Seasonal Profile -- plus additional upgrades and community awards to redeem for Steam Points. Meanwhile, Steam Chat now includes in-line chat reactions with emoticons and animated stickers.



Don't forget to vote! Thanks to millions of nominations from Steam players, the 2020 Steam Award nominees are in (https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/2904223825309909103). And starting now, the community can vote for the winners of the 2020 Steam Awards' 10 categories and earn trading cards for doing their civic duty. Voting ends on January 3rd, when the winners are scheduled to be announced.

The sale ends January 5, 2021 at 10 am Pacific.

On Epic if you buy a game you also get 10 USD off. ..So if you see a game on sale you will automatically get an extra 10 USD off.
You get the initial $10 coupon just by claiming a free game.

Do you still get another coupon after using the first one while on the sale?

YES., every-time you buy a games you get 10 USD coupon. ..However be careful, the coupon is not active for everything. I bought Zombie Amy 4 "season pass 2" & I paid full price.
So check coupon is active before you pay for the software.

I've been using EPIC more lately, yes for the free games but just to see why everyone seems to hate them. I see, nor have had any problems with that platform at all. I don't get it, but i'm not what you call a dedicated gamer tho.
