Steam Summer Sale news for June (Image: VALVE)
The latest reports suggest that Valve has at least two major Steam sales scheduled for May and June.
The largest is the Steam Summer Sale, which will include discounts on hundreds of games.
Valve’s summer sale has become one of the hottest events, and the good news is we know exactly when it will arrive.
We also know that there will be another Steam sale ahead of the summer event, with the final spring sale coming this week.
The Steam Spring sale has been absent for the past few years as the 2019 and 2020 dates were skipped.
This year, however, Valve will instead host something called the Steam Open World Sale.
According to Valve, the Steam Open World Sale is a multi-day event honoring games featuring the popular open-world mechanic.
The sale will highlight many sub-genres and styles of open world games while showing live streams of participating Steam games.
The Steam platform has invited all open-world games to participate in the event, which means we don’t know exactly which titles will be included.
The Steam Open World sale has a launch date scheduled for May 27, with a start time of 6:00 p.m. BST.
The Steam Open World sale ends on May 31, making it a very short event compared to the summer sale.
WHEN IS THE STEAM SUMMER SALE?
The Steam Summer Sale is one of Valve’s biggest events of the year and has a release date of June 24.
We are aware of these new dates due to leaked information meaning they have not yet been announced by Valve.
However, since the company is never one to provide early news on such events, this sounds like the best guide we’ll have for now.
Other sales are expected to start before and after the big summer sale, which usually lasts about two weeks.
The Steam Summer Sale 2020 kicked off around June 25th in June, making this year’s date look like a good shout out.
Last year’s event mainly focused on big discounts, but it also featured ways to unlock other items, with the official announcement confirming:
“Buy games, earn points, then stop quickly at the all-new Stay Here Points Shop, where you’re sure to find the perfect souvenir for your summer adventures on Steam.
“The store offers dozens of new animated stickers and chat effects, profile backgrounds, mini profile backgrounds, avatars, avatar frames and more! Plus, discover hundreds of profile backgrounds and emoticons associated with your favorite games, now available in exchange for Steam points.
“To celebrate summer, claim your free animated stickers at our road trip destinations for the next two weeks. Plus, save an extra $ 5 when you spend $ 30 on the sale, or the equivalent in your country. “
It’s unclear if the same stuff is slated for the 2021 Steam Summer Sale, or if Valve is planning something else.
