After the Steam Sale is before the Steam Sale, that is a well-known law of nature. Every few months, the Valve platform offers big discounts on many games. So that you can better plan when you have a chance at exciting bargains, we have collected all the confirmed and expected dates for the Summer Sale, Winter Sale and so on.
We will update this article regularly so that you will always find the latest relevant dates here.
The big Steam Sales 2021
Some Steam promotions happen around the same time every year. Therefore, we can already pretty much predict when which sale will start and how long it is expected to last. Valve usually only sends out the official confirmation at short notice.
When is the next Steam Sale? Currently, it looks like there will be a longer sale break. The next big promotion will probably be another Steam Next festival and will take place at the beginning of October 2021. However, this has not been officially confirmed yet.
Fortunately, there are still many smaller sales, for example the weekly Midweek Madness or publisher promotions. At GameStar, we always look for the best deals for you!
