Seasonal and holiday sales

Discounts on games on Steam happen all the time, but there are also seasonal sales, which are the most delicious event for gamers. Summer and winter seasonal sales are the largest of the year. Sales are smaller in autumn and spring. The summer sale usually takes place in July, and the winter sale in December-January. The trick of such sales is that discounts apply to both new and old games.


There are 3 types of summer sale discounts:

  • general (store-wide discount) - discounts here are the lowest, apply to all games over the past six months;
  • daily deals - impressive discounts on games released in the last 2 days (24-48 hours);
  • instant (flash sales) - the biggest discounts, reaching up to 90%! Such discounts last no more than 12 hours.

You can find out if there is a sale going on right now. Steam group Vkontakte or on the official website. During major sales, an ad hangs on the main page of the site, and therefore it is very difficult to miss such an event. Discounts on games during seasonal sales range from 30% to 90% depending on the specific game. For example, CS:GO at the last winter sale was sold at a 33% discount, while Fallout 4 and Doom (2016) could even be bought for a third of the price.


In addition to the winter and summer sales, Steam annually hosts holiday sales that fall on Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving, New Years, etc. For example, on Halloween, horror (horror) films are most often sold at a discount.


Steam also has themed sales associated with a particular event. They differ from the festive ones in that they can take place not every year, but once. For example, sometimes the service may start selling indie games or games about space, etc. It is impossible to know the exact date of such an event, you just need to carefully follow the updates on the official website.

There are no global sales on Russian holidays, but some publishers like 1C or Buk may launch discounts on a limited number of games. As a rule, this happens on very important holidays - Victory Day, International Women's Day, etc.
