Gamers excited for biggest ever Steam sale – when to grab popular games at huge discounts

29th June 2023

STEAM’S Summer Sale is just around the corner, giving shoppers amazing value for money.

Steam holds numerous sales throughout the year, but the Summer Sale is special.

Steam Sales are the highlights of the year for PC gamers.

That’s because every year, the Summer and Winter Sales are Steam’s biggest.

Not only do they have more games than the other sales in the year, but they often have steeper discounts.

Here’s everything you need to know about 2023’s Steam Summer Sale.

When does 2023’s Steam Summer Sale start?

This year the Steam Summer Sale will start on Thursday, June 29, 2023, and does not have a global start time.

Instead of launching at the same time all over the world, it will begin at 6pm local time.

Your local time is not connected to your IP address.

Instead, it is based on the billing address on your chosen payment method.

This means it is much harder to change your location if you are trying to access the sale early.

The Steam Summer Sale will end on Thursday, July 12, 2023, giving everyone three weeks to browse and buy.

Steam’s Summer Sales usually contain a mix of recent and older but still popular games.

There is a large variance in discounts, though older games tend to have the bigger price cuts.

In previous years we’ve seen bargains of up to 95% off, and there are often games that are given away.

Expect to see discounts on a huge number of titles, with very low prices on classic games.
