Steam Sale is here again! Everyone knows that Steam Sale offers some of the best gaming deals. There are four Steam Sales this 2016 including Steam Summer Sale, Halloween Sale and Black Friday Sale which already made their remarkable entrances this year, and as players, it's not a bad thing to expect another promo before the year ends.

In just over a week, the Steam Winter Sale 2016 will be here, meaning gamers still have time to get their wallets ready for Steam's huge Christmas promo.

As we all know, Valve rarely announces the timings of its Steam Sales in advance. But to make sure that players get the best value of the deals, here's a quick guide on what you can get on Steam Winter Sale 2016.

According on a post from NeoGAF, which contains images probably from the game developers' group only, the Christmas Promo is happening this Dec. 22 and will run through Jan. 2. However, this is not yet verified. Valve recently ditched 'Flash Deals' during their Steam Sales, so we already have an idea that prices will drop on Dec. 22.

What Steam Game Deals Should Players Expect

So far, Steam hasn't released any information yet as to how game prices will drop or what the best deals we can get during their ten-day Steam Sale. But the last Autumn Sale can give you a bit of idea on the price drops. Dark Souls 3, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Batman: Arkham Knight had 50 percent discounts, so we can expect similar savings this incoming 2016 Steam Winter Sale. Civilization 6 and Titanfall 2 are most likely to get 14 to 15 percent discounts. Again, these prices are not yet verified. And yes, fans should know more about other game deals. Rest assured, we will keep this page updated with all the latest information as it becomes available.

In 2015, the Steam Winter Sale kicked-off on Dec. 22, the same day we expect it to kick-off this year. Even if this information is not yet verified, the truth is, there's still a pretty good chance that this Steam Winter Sale 2016 leak is correct.
