The Steam Lunar New Year Sale 2022 is live
The Year of the Tiger has arrived.
The 2022 Steam Lunar New Year has begun! This year's event has kicked off a couple weeks earlier than the 2021 sale, which got underway in mid-February, but we can't say that it caught us my surprise: Like virtually every Steam sale date, we've known about this one for awhile.
Steam's first sale of 2022 features discounts on thousands of games, along with discounts in the Steam Points Shop. Free stickers for your Steam profile will also be given away each day during the sale.
Feeling overwhelmed by options? That's okay—here are some ideas about where to get started:
- XCOM 2 - $6/£3.50/€5 (90% off)
- Middle-earth: Shadow of War - $7.50/£5/€6 (85% off)
