The Steam Winter Sale 2015 is now live

The rumors were true: Christmas has come slightly early because the Steam Winter Sale is now live.

There are also Steam trading cards to collect, some of which you can pick up simply by browsing your Discovery Queue. The feature is a bit overloaded at the moment (such is the way during the opening moments of Steam sales) but you can dig into it here when it's working (and also enjoy the exciting comic book adventures of Gingerbreak Jake in "Northpole Noir") or get more details about the trading card extravaganza by way of this handy FAQ.

The 2015 Steam Winter Sale is live now and runs until 10 am PST on January 4.
