PC gamers can save thousands as the Steam Summer Sale begins

STEAM is one of the cheapest platforms to purchase games thanks to its numerous sales.

While there are quite a few genre and publisher sales throughout the year, the highlights are the seasonal sales.

The biggest of these are the Steam Summer Sale and the Steam Winter Sale, where thousands of games are discounted by up to 90%.

Steam’s Summer Sale is about to begin, and with it gamers’ wallets are about to get a lot thinner.

The biggest Steam annual sale will begin today, Thursday, June 17, 2024, at 6pm UK time.

This means that there are just a few hours left before people can grab their cheap games.

The sale will last for two weeks, and discounts will only last until Thursday, July 11, 2024.

It’s unclear which games will be included in the sale yet, but there are a number of savings you can make already.

Steam has already discounted a number of Steam Deck models, and people can save up to £60/$70.

Following the patterns of previous Steam sales, the Summer Sale is likely to have discounts across every genre of games.

The most common theme is that older games will have huge discounts of up to 90 or even 95%, while modern games usually only go up to 30% off.

Don’t expect the most recent games to be on sale, though you sometimes see recent releases available for 10% off.

The discounts won’t vary throughout the fortnight, so feel free to think about the offers you want to grab before taking the plunge.
