While not fairly as dependable a supply as PayPal (who had leaked particulars on the wallet-devouring occasion in years previous), the ever-unofficial Steam Database reckon that the 2019 Steam Summer Sale begins on Tuesday, June 25th. Kicking off at 10am PST/6pm BST on the day, it’ll run two weeks, and flood anybody who has a Steam wishlist with mail notifications. Steam Database have been persistently dependable, and cite Chinese Steam fan-site SteamCN as their main reference, which they’ve confirmed with “multiple sources”, which I’d hazard a guess at that means nameless builders.
This is only a rumoured date, however Steam Database is often very correct on data like this. While the Steam summer time and winter gross sales are massive occasions and often provide the widest vary of reductions, it’s nonetheless price buying round slightly as soon as the sale begins. Other shops like Humble and GOG typically run their very own gross sales and undercut on a couple of key objects. Not that the summer time sale seems like such an enormous deal when smaller occasions run all 12 months spherical. We’re solely simply previous Steam’s Golden Week sale, which provided the most effective offers but on quite a lot of visible novels and Japanese games.

I’ve received my fingers crossed that Valve skip on the awkward browser-based mini-games this time spherical. You’d assume that being an skilled games studio, they’d have the ability to do higher than the completely naff Steam Saliens last year, however apparently not. For their most up-to-date winter sale, they eschewed awkward interactivity for a each day creation calendar that spat out buying and selling playing cards and minor bonuses. Not very fascinating, granted, however higher uninteresting and useful than damaged. Still, at the very least we all know when the storm begins. Seal your pockets away in a darkish pit earlier than June 25th.
