For those PC gamers who aren’t yet broke from all the holiday shopping, this week Steam, GMG, GameStop, and heck — even Uplay, launched PC games winter sales to tug at your wallet.

Steam’s winter sale went live Thursday at the usual 10:00 AM time slot, filled with some nice surprise such as the appearance of Microsoft Flight Simulator X Steam Edition. Over at GMG, they’re attempting to price match Steam and tossing in a coupon for an additional 20% off for good measure.

GameStop’s winter sale, while not as large as others, does have EA titles such as Battlefield 4 and C&C Ultimate Collection for only five bucks. Meanwhile, everyone’s favorite DRM Uplay has its catalog on sale too: the excellent Valiant Hearts and Child of Light are only $6 a piece. Heck, even Steam keys of Stick of Truth are available at $13.

If you’re looking for a last-minute gift on a console system, a few retailers are having some decent sales. For instance, the Xbox One Assassin’s Creed Unity Bundle is $349.99 at Target with a bonus $70 Gift Card today while the 32GB Wii U Deluxe clocks in at $249.99. Not bad.

Game deals brought to by the crew at Dealzon. FYI: Sales from certain retailers help support Destructoid.
