Steam’s Winter Sale is still ongoing, with thousands of sales on games big and small. You only have ~24 hours left to nab yourself some good savings, so get at it! I’ve put down a handful of my own recommendations below, but I’m sure you can find other gems if you scroll for long enough. And of course, other giants like Elden Ring and the LEGO games are also heavily discounted.
Have you considered that the real pleasure of PC gaming lies in buying games, installing them, and then playing them for one hour or not at all? If so, then good news! The Steam winter sale has begun, offering discounts on thousands of games you can add to your backlog.
In the survey for November 2022, two unreleased Macs with identifiers “Mac14,6” and “Mac15,4” were spotted towards the bottom of the list, alongside model identifiers that correspond to the Mac Studio, 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro, M2 MacBook Air, and other models.
Both “Mac14,6” and “Mac15,4” are listed with 0% usage on Steam’s platform, but their placement on the list does suggest Apple may be testing the unreleased Macs with upcoming Apple silicon chips on Steam’s gaming platform.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a reference to an unannounced Mac with the model identifier “Mac14,6.” That same identifier has been spotted in two separate (1,2) Geekbench score entries with the M2 Max chip, which is likely to come first in upcoming 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. Apple was expected to announce the updated MacBook Pro models during the fall of this year but then pushed plans until 2023.
The upcoming Macs are expected to feature M2 Pro and M2 Max chips with faster performance and possible options for higher memory configurations. Apple announced the M2 chip in June, marking the beginning of the second generation of Apple silicon, which came first to the redesigned MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Your wallet may still be quivering from the Steam Autumn Sale. Tough. It’s time to grab hold of it again, comfort it with a few tender strokes, then gorge on its innards to pay for some of the splendid turn-based strategy games on sale in Steam’s TurnBasedFest.
There are decent discounts for Katharine’s beloved Dorfromantik, my beloved Slipways, and many generally beloved digified board games. Most of the sales end on December 12th, so don’t spend too long thinking about it. Reality’s turn-timers aren’t optional.
Next week is Black Friday, the yearly sales event which means everyone will be thrusting air fryers and SD cards towards you. That’s fine with me – I need an SD card – but you may also enjoy Steam’s unaffiliated Autumn Sale. Valve have announced it’ll begin on Tuesday, November 22nd and run for a week until November 29th.
