Steam Sales

A lot of people feel conflicted about buying something on Steam - "Isn't this a lot of money?" or "What if I don't play the game enough after buying it?" might be a familiar thought process to some gamers.

But at the same time, you do want to have a library full of games that you can resort to when you're bored or during times when nothing new that interests you is being released. This is where Steam sales come in handy: You get the same game for a fraction of the price!

Luckily, Valve, the corporation behind Steam, announces all of the events ahead of time, so you can always know when you'll get the best price on your desired games. In a post on the Steam community forum, Valve recently revealed the events for the second half of 2025.

But just to be extra thorough, we'll tell you all of the events for the whole year:
