It’s been far too long since PC players’ wallets have been terrorized by another Steam Sale, something which Valve will be fixing soon. According to Steam Database on Twitter, the next sale, namely the Steam Summer Sale, will start on June 21st. You’d think Valve would find a way to prevent such dates from being leaked but it hasn’t worked against them yet.

Last year’s Summer Sale began on June 22nd and ended on July 5th. If this year’s sale lasts for the same period, then it will end on July 4th. This is just conjecture though so don’t take it as the official end date for the sale.

The Steam Sale is a wondrous period where numerous games, from big triple A releases to small indie titles, see discounts. While more recent games likely won’t be discounted, it’s still a good time to fill up that backlog that you’ll never complete.

Steam Summer Sale starts on June 21st.

In case you’re experiencing slow loading times on Steam, then don’t worry – the Steam Summer Sale is simply live. So you should basically worry in case you want to buy anything.

The Steam Summer Sale will start today and end on July 5th. Discounts thus far include the Call of Duty franchise, Final Fantasy franchise, the Ys series, the Ghost Recon franchise, Grand Theft Auto 5, Dishonored 2, Prey, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition, DOOM and so on.

Furthermore, must-play indie titles like Hollow Knight, Owlboy, Not A Hero, Apotheon and much more. Honestly, if you want something, there’s a good chance it’s currently on sale.

With the popularity that the Steam Summer Sale brings, there’s obviously going to be some slowdown. The store is currently better than when the sale when live but things are still a bit unresponsive from time to time. Don’t worry though – there’s plenty of time since daily deals and flash deals have been done away with.

As is the case every year, the Steam Summer Sale’s starting date has been leaked by PayPal. The official Twitter account for PayPal UK noted that it would begin on June 22nd, 10 AM PST/6 PM BST and that it was “official”.

The sale will apparently run till July 5th. Valve has done away with deals that rotate after a period of time and will likely offer more straightforward sales. That’s barring any major changes of course.

Though Valve has yet to make an official announcement about the same, it does seem concurrent with previous rumours that stated the same. Furthermore, PayPal has usually nailed the starting date. We’ll see if that’s the case this year.

What are you looking forward to picking up from this year’s Steam Summer Sale? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more information in the next 24 hours if it does go live.

The rumors were all true! Steam’s Summer Sale, which was rumored to be beginning on June 23, has in fact begun on June 23, and it will be continuing all the way through July 4. Officially called the Summer Picnic Sale, the new sale appears to be taking on from the previous one, where it just puts all the deals available for the customer upfront, with no daily or flash deals offering timebound discounts.

So far, there also does not seem to be any metagame associated with the sale, though it is possible that it is just well hidden, and that someone or the other will discover it eventually. That said, at least there seem to be new trading cards that are being offered simply for browsing your discovery queue, so that’s something.

As of right now, Steam seems to be very slow or just down outright, owing to the sheer number of people who are probably trying to access the storefront right now. But since there aren’t any timed deals anymore, you don’t have to worry about missing a good deal on a game you wanted, at least.

PayPal UK has confirmed the date for the Steam Summer Sale on its official Twitter. Expect to empty our saving on awesome deals starting from July 23rd.

A leak on Reddit, based on an image from a notice within Valve, claimed the sale would begin on June 23rd and end on July 4th. Now that the starting date has been confirmed, we can expect to learn about the duration in due time.

If you don’t know about the Steam Summer Sale, then you haven’t truly lived. It’s one of the few times in a year when almost everything on Steam is discounted, in some cases to an absurd degree. Daily deals offer even better discounts and it’s the perfect time to bolster your Steam collection. Or to just leave said games in your account and get to them when the Winter Sale comes around.

What are your thoughts on the Steam Summer Sale starting next week? Let us know in the comments below.

The annual Steam Summer Sale, a veritable massacre of people’s wallets and money, as great PC games are offered for absurdly low prices, leading to people buying dozens of games, none of which they ever plan on actually playing, will be starting on June 11 this year, according to  Valve’s social networking site in Russia.

The site also notes that the sale ends on June 20, which sounds about right, given that previous sales (summer or otherwise) have all lasted a little more than a week. This, unfortunately, also means that the Steam Sale will run concurrently alongside E3- so get ready to have to focus on the press conferences as well as the latest flash deals that run through the store.

The dates haven’t officially been announced yet, of course, and it is entirely possible that the final dates will be something else, but we have no reason to doubt this source and its report.
