One of the best games ever with a 96-rating is less than £4

The Steam Winter Sale runs from December 19 until January 2, and features discounts on thousands of games.

In fact, some discounts have gone live early, including an absolutely incredible price cut on one of the best games of all time.

For a limited time only, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is currently available for just £3.99 on Steam. It’s also playable on Steam Deck.

It contains the original trilogy of games, including the critically-acclaimed Mass Effect 2, which has a whopping 96-rating on Metacritic.

The Legendary Edition also comes with a host of improvements to make the games look and play better on modern hardware.

This includes improved aiming and weapons balance, as well as superior sound effects, better Mako controls and new control options.

That’s on top of improved squad behaviour, cover behaviour and gameplay cameras for a better field of view.

Needless to say, the visuals have also been remastered, which means 4K and HDR support on monitors.

Elsewhere, Mass Effect Legendary Edition contains all post-release DLC, which means additional weapons and promo packs.

Most exciting of all, however, are the extra missions, such as the excellent Lair of the Shadow Broker from Mass Effect 2.

While the discount is scheduled to run out at 6pm GMT on December 19, it’s likely to be extended once the Steam Winter Sale goes live.

In addition to Mass Effect Legendary Edition, the Steam Winter Sale will include discounts on relatively new releases such as Metal Slug Tactics.

That’s on top of discounts for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, CarX Street and sandbox survival game Core Keeper.

Fans can also expect discounts on blockbusters such as Helldivers 2, Final Fantasy 16 and surprise hit Manor Lords.

Colourful games like Castle Crashers and Planet Coaster 2 will receive discounts, alongside the unique TCG Card Shop Simulator.

Last year’s Game of the Year Baldur’s Gate 3 will receive a discount, which is ideal if you have it on your Wishlist.

Finally, there are discounts for the likes of The Last of Us Part 1 and recent platforming remake Sonic X Shadow Generations.
