Eurogamer says they can confirm a NeoGAF report that the Steam Winter Sale will run from December 22 until January 2nd. But for those looking for bargains right now, GOG.com announces the launch of their Monstrous Winter Sale, which will run from now until December 11th. The opportunity to buy DRM-free games also includes a cost-free game, as they are offering a free copy of Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition for the first 48 hours of the sale. There is also the opportunity to get more freebies by earning XP over the course of the sale. Here's word:

Now that all your holiday shopping is complete (…right?), it's time to get a little something for yourself. Our annual Winter Sale begins with hundreds of deals and even some gifts of our own, including a free copy of Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition!

Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition – 48h Giveaway
While Neverwinter Nights garnered a cult following on release, it's the Premium Modules – expansions often compared to Baldur's Gate & Planescape: Torment – that elevated the game to legendary status.

Now you have 48 hours to claim this celebrated Dungeons & Dragons classic in its definitive edition, complete with all official expansions and digital goodies, the official soundtrack, map, manuals, and more.

Collect XP to Unlock More Free Games
Once again, you will earn XP for every dollar spent, for checking-in daily, and for collecting badges all throughout the sale. You can learn more about it and track your progress here.

If you've participated in our Monstrous Fall Sale, we may have some bonus XP for you, to be used towards our new free unlockables. And boy are they sweet!
