A bunch of Paradox strategy games are going cheap on Steam right now

Update - January 4, 2022: Now's your last chance to check out the games going cheap in the Steam winter sale

The 2021 Steam winter sale is in full swing, and that means a ton of the biggest and best PC games going for cheap right now. While there's obviously a whole lot of discounted stuff to check out across a bunch of different genres, one slice of the sale is offering some decent deals on various Paradox strategy games, including bundles aimed at helping bring new players aboard.

The Paradox winter sale has up to 75% off some of the studio's various games, with that full three-quarters discount currently available on city-building simulation game Cities: Skylines, military strategy game Hearts of Iron IV, sci-fi adventure Stellaris, and historical grand strategy game Europa Universalis IV. Crusader Kings III discounted by less, but still 20% off, bringing it down to £33.59 / $39.99, in case you've got that on your wishlist.

Elsewhere there are several starter packs going for cheap, which should prove handy if you've got your eye on any of these but are yet to dive in. The Cities: Skylines new player bundle has the base game plus three key DLC packs - Mass Transit, Industries, and Sunset Harbor - for 64% off.

Some of the best city-building games on PC are going cheap on Steam

There are plenty of great city-building games on our home platform, and a bunch of them are going cheap as part of Steam's ongoing winter sale. So, if you're in the mood to establish your own fledgling city - or settlement - and watch it flourish, now might be a good time to see what's out there.

Tropico 6, Limbic Entertainment's 2019 city builder, puts you in charge of large archipelagos as el presidente, and you'll get to decide whether you're going to be a feared dictator of Tropico or a more benevolent leader overseeing a peaceful, prosperous era for the island state. The game builds on the series with new transportation and infrastructure-building options, a "revised" research system, an election speech feature, and online multiplayer for up to four players. It's currently half-price on Steam in the winter sale, making it £17.49 / $19.99 as of writing, and there are a bunch of different editions and bundles with discounts up to 65% on the store page if you're keen to browse.

Frostpunk, 11 bit studios' 2018 city builder, brings a big survival twist to the genre. You're in charge of the last city remaining on earth in the wake of a volcanic winter that's devastated the alternative late-19th century world.

Cities: Skylines Airports DLC announced for release in January

Seems Paradox and Colossal Order aren't done with their city builder just yet, as the Cities: Skylines Airports DLC was just announced for release on January 25.

Cities: Skylines' next major DLC will let you build and manage better airports

I always liked the idea that a citybuilder eventually comes to contain several other management games within it. Cities: Skylines takes another step in that direction with its next DLC, which will let you construct sprawling airports when it takes flight in January.
