That wonderful time of year where people go through their closets to make space, and in doing so discover forgotten gems lost to the bottom of plastic storage totes. Side notes: There are also lots of other retailers like Humble, Fanatical, etc that have their own set of sales which include games you can activate on Steam! Use sites like isthereanydeal.Spring Cleaning. These can vary on both date/time as a publisher can choose to end a sale at midnight if they felt like doing so. Released new DLC? Make the entire franchise on sale! It's the 12th of the month? 12% off all our games! etc and so forth. They will all start at 10AM on whatever day: Lunar Sale (Late January/Early February?) Spring Cleaning Event (Starts like a month or so before the Summer Sale, not really a sale as more of just an event to play your backlog) Summer Sale (Starts mid/late June) Winter Sale (Starts mid/late December) Halloween Sale (Around Halloween every year) Autumn Sale (Around US Thanksgiving weekend)ĪND THEN ON TOP OF ALL THAT: Publisher/developers can put their game(s) on sale whenever they damn well feel like. Then there are the major sales, exact dates aren't known/100% certain until the information leaks 1-2 weeks before they start.if they leak at all. Dates/days vary and aren't known ahead of time.

Event Sales (Quakecon, May the 4th/StarWars, Anime weekend, shoot-em up sale, Golden Week, others I can't remember that they do randomly throughout the year).

Deal times are same as Weekend Deals, the game you can play for free usually stops being free Sunday afternoon even though the deal is usually good through Monday at 10AM. Starts Thursday at 10AM, usually goes through Monday 10 AM. Starts Tuesdays at 10AM ending Thursday at 10AM. Starts Monday at 10AM, usually goes through Friday at 10AM. The item put on sale usually is on sale for 48 hours. Secondly, I know what you are asking, but I feel compelled to share this answer: THERE IS ALWAYS A SALE. First, if there is a known major sale that's date has been leaked, it'll be listed on
