We are in the final month of what has been an incredible year of video game releases. This means there are lots of incoming deals and events just in time for Christmas. The GOG Winter Sale 2023 start date and time countdown has been confirmed, and here you will find when the event is taking place and what free games will be on offer to download and keep.
As is traditional with the month of Christmas, there is also the Steam Winter Sale 2023 start date to anticipate. This will happen later in the month, and so too will the Epic Games 15 days of free games event. Aside from just sales, there are also in-game events such as the always beloved Fortnite Winterfest 2023 full of free rewards to unwrap from under the Christmas tree.
While all of the above is exciting, so too are the annual GOG Christmas bargains. The bargains are about to begin very soon, so make sure to take advantage of the incoming discounts.

Free games
