The annual Steam Summer Sale is a great way to get a handful of PC games at a fraction of their normal price, and it appears we now know when you’ll be have to get your wallet out. According toSteam Database, thesale will begin on June 21.
The same date was leaked on theSteam Reddit pageon May 8, which also listed an end date of July 5 for the sale. If true, this would bealmost identical to 2017, when the sale ran from June 22 until July 5.
Last year’s Steam Summer Saleincluded an 83 percent discount on the Borderlands Triple Pack, which usually sells for over $100, as well as a 44 percent discount onSuperhotandSuperhot VR.
Valve also holds a Steam Winter Sale that includes similarly crazy deals. In December, the2017 Winter Sale offeredWatch Dogs 2for $20,Rainbow Six Siegefor just $9, andInsidefor $10. Though not the absolute newest games on the market, they were still significantly less expensive than at other times of the year.
If you’re a PlayStation 4 player, Sony is currently alsorunning a salefocusing on games that are primarily available via digital download. In addition to the standard sale price being significantly reduced on all of the included games, PlayStation Plus members get an additional discount.The Witness, for example, is available for $10 through PlayStation Plus — it normally sells for $40. It was recently free through Xbox Live’s Games With Gold as well. Ubisoft’sGrow UpandGrow Homeare available for less than $5 a piece, and the multiplayer fencing gameNidhogg 2can be purchased for just $9.
Xbox One players aren’t getting left out either, though they won’t be able to find their deals on the console’s own store. Head toAmazonand you’ll find digital codes for several major new games available at a steep discount. These includeResident Evil 7for less than $25,Star Wars: Battlefront IIfor $24, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Deluxe Editionfor just $40 — half of its usual price. Since you’re paying for digital codes that will allow you to download the games, you won’t have to wait for Amazon to ship them to begin playing.
