Steam’s Lunar New Year sale is here, after Valve said it wasn’t going ahead
If you log into Steam right now, you’ll find that the Lunar New Year sale is currently underway. This is despite Valve having said that it would be cancelled and replaced with a later, spring sale in March.
Back in September of last year, Valve went ahead and detailed all of its anticipated sale dates. In that blog post, it also shared that the winter sale and Lunar New Year sale were too close to one another. As a result, the latter was to be cancelled and replaced with a spring sale in March. That said, Valve did also note that publishers and developers were welcome to discount their games during the Lunar New Year if they wanted to.
Now, if you head to Steam’s home page, you’ll find a banner for the Lunar New Year sale, and an abundance of titles discounted as a result. This is actually an independent Steam sale as part of the East Meets West initiative led by Curve Games, and will run from January 16 to January 23.

Overwatch 2 Is Celebrating The Lunar New Year With A New Event
Blizzard has announced a Lunar New Year event for Overwatch 2. The new seasonal event introduces new skins for players, festive map changes, the return of arcade brawls, and more.
Whenever a player loads into Lijang Tower, they’ll see fireworks shooting up into the sky as a part of the Lunar New Year celebration. They’ll also be able to play the following modes: capture the flag, capture the flag blitz, and bounty hunter.
Capture the flag blitz is a faster-paced version of capture the flag arcade brawl. The flag is placed in the center of the map, and both teams have to race to the flag first to ensure they win. Players can also participate in the 2023 competitive capture the flag and earn competitive points. In bounty hunter mode, players will be thrown into a free-for-all match. Whoever can kill an opponent first will have a bounty placed on them, and while they have the bounty on them, they can earn more points when they get kills –but the catch is that everyone can see the bounty at all times, no matter where they are.
