A look back at the 2019 Winter Sale

Classic Games

As we all find some time to relax after a year of hot releases and big sales, we thought it would be fun to look back and give you a short recap of GOG.COM’s Winter Sale and listen to your opinions on the event.

Our annual Winter Sale ran for 23 days this time (from December 11th, 2019 to January 2nd, 2020) with almost 3,000 deals for games, including completion bundles and special game collections. One title, Lost Sea, had the highest discount amount them – coming in at 95% off!

If you followed the entire Winter Sale, you were also able to claim four free games (Wasteland 2, POSTAL 2, POSTAL: Classic and Uncut, and Tower of Time), and eight more games through GOG Connect if you already owned them on Steam. These offers were super popular and we’re always very happy when we can give you such gifts.

Behind the scenes of the Winter Sale

While our Winter Sale has a lot happening on the front end, what is not usually visible is all the work that goes into making it happen, not only weeks before the sale (like discount approvals and designing the takeover images) but also during the event.

A new option to hide DLCs in the catalog was also introduced during the sale (which we’re still testing and improving) and should help you in the future when searching for games on sale. We also gathered and shared our recommendations and suggestions with you through a series of promo pages with the best deals, top-rated games, and more. It shouldn’t be a surprise …read more
