The Steam Summer Sale has officially kicked off. Starting June 25 at 8:00 PM (GMT+3), the discounts will run until July 9 at 8:00 PM (GMT+3). Now's the perfect time to check your wishlist and grab the games you've been eyeing.

How long will it last?

This year's Summer Sale is live for a full 14 days. It starts on June 25 and ends on July 9 at 8:00 PM (GMT+3). Since 2015, Steam has stopped daily flash sales, so the price you see now will remain the same until the last day. There's no need to rush; two weeks gives you plenty of time to decide.

How many games are discounted?

Over 4,000 games are on sale this year. The average discount sits around 45 percent. Popular AAA titles are seeing discounts between 50 and 75 percent, while indie and older games are dropping up to 90 percent off.

First-time discounts this summer

The best deals often come from games released in the past year that are getting their first major price cut. Gothic 1 Remake, Resident Evil Requiem, and Crimson Desert are among the highlights seeing their first big discount in this Summer Sale.

How to track the best prices

If you want to make sure you're getting the best deal, use SteamDB's price history tool. In seconds, you can compare the current price, the previous lowest price, and past Summer Sale discounts. Sometimes, games get even better deals during Fest weeks, so if you're on a budget, it pays to compare before you buy.

If you've already filled your Steam wishlist, you'll get email notifications for every game that goes on sale. For titles not discounted, you'll need to check manually.

When is the next big Steam sale?

Valve announced the entire 2026 calendar back in January. After the Summer Sale, the next major seasonal event is the Autumn Sale, running from October 1 to 8. The Winter Sale will follow from December 17, 2026, to January 4, 2027.
