Summer sale in game steam. Upcoming sales on Steam this year. What games will be featured in the summer sale?

Traditional summer Steam sale starts tomorrow, June 23rd. This event is one of the most anticipated among gamers. What to expect from the biggest gaming sale of the year?

Steam Summer Sale: what is it

The Summer Sale is an annual event on Steam. It is at this time that the platform offers the biggest discounts on thousands of different products. Moreover, the organizers involve the community of players in the action by holding various activities.

The main feature of the event has always been the ability of platform users to influence the size of discounts for some games. Three votes are held every day, during which the community chooses one of the three "huge discounts" options.

Active participants in voting and other activities are encouraged collectible cards summer sale. They can be used to build a souvenir badge that will show up on your Steam profile. Also, cards can be sold to other users, spending the proceeds on new purchases.

What games will be on summer sale?

Traditionally, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest of the year. Each product on the platform receives one or another discount. A rare exception is AAA projects that came out on the eve of the event: perhaps you should not hope for a favorable price for DOOM yet.

The exact list of games and discounts for them is not published anywhere. Users can only monitor the situation during the sale. However, the events of past years allow us to make some assumptions. It is very likely that AAA titles like Mad Max, gta v, The Witcher 3 and Elite: Dangerous.

Last year, Valve started manufacturing gaming devices. It is possible that this summer it will be possible to purchase the Steam Controller developed by the company at a bargain price.

When will the sale take place?

Officially, Valve has not yet announced the date of the sale. However, numerous leaks, as well as messages from PayPal, made it possible to reliably mark the beginning of the event. The Steam Summer Sale starts on June 23 at 19:45 Moscow time and will last until 20:00 on July 4. You can find out the time before the start of the sale on the timer below.

Tips from Game2Day: how to stock up and not go broke

During such events, there is a high probability of spending a lot of money without meeting your own expectations. Valve's seeming generosity is actually aimed at selling as many goods as possible.

Remember: discounts on games are beneficial primarily to the seller. By purchasing a title that you are not interested in, you do not save 75% on the purchase, but only waste 25% of the total cost of the game. About 37% of those purchased in Steam games never run. Think carefully: is there anything in the product that attracted your attention, besides a favorable price?

You can also advise to follow the "community choice". Discounts on the games that won the vote are much more than the usual value. And the sale of cards received for voting can be good option if prior to purchase desired game a couple of tens of rubles are missing.

It is also worth noting that even during the sale, keys on Steam may not be the most profitable purchase option. Check: maybe other marketplaces have more interesting offers. True, some popular places are still worth it.

Discounts from 25% and below, we decided not to include, so as not to inflate the list.

AAA cheap

Everyone has it, but you never know

Dragon Fin Soup: $167 (-60%) - a game about the evil Little Red Riding Hood. That is, not about her, but we are well aware that this is Little Red Riding Hood.

Undertale: $174 (-30%) - last year's indie hit in which you have to make friends with monsters. Or you can not be friends, but then the game will try to convince you with all the pixels that you are doing very badly.

Hard West: $179 (-60%) - uneven but curious turn-based mystical western. For some reason, the special edition with additional materials turned out to be cheaper than the usual one, so take it.

Sunless Sea: $199 (-40%) and Darkest Dungeon : 269 rubles. (-40%) - two stylish, almost Lovecraftian roguelikes in different settings, in which your wards can easily go crazy and this really affects the gameplay.

Kholat : 199 r. (-60%) - topographic idiot simulator based on the history of the Dyatlov group.

Oxenfree: $209 (-50%) - an insanely varied adventure on an island where something strange is happening. Don't be put off by the rustic graphics, this game is just as good Life is Strange, and somewhere even more interesting in mechanics.

Kentucky Route Zero: $224 (-50%) - a mystical journey along the roads of America. The developers promise to finish the fourth act (out of five) just about.

The Age of Decadence: $2.99 (-50%) - hardcore, VERY hardcore RPG with turn-based combat in an alternative Roman Empire. Variation in hardcore is included.

SOMA: 249 p. (-50%) - sci-fi horror from the creators Amnesia, which, however, is too scary for sci-fi fans and too abstruse for horror fans. Highly recommended for fans of hard science fiction. If you are too afraid, then install a mod that disables the aggression of monsters and enjoy the story.

Firewatch: 280 rubles (-33%) - a walker with a beautifully written story, in which, in fact, only two characters participate.

Bundles

Please note that recently Steam began to subtract from the price of the bundle the games that are already in the library, so it may turn out that it is more profitable to buy a bundle for the sake of a single game than to buy it separately.

Turn-Based Indie Strategy (The Banner Saga, Invisible, Inc., Thea: The Awakening, Gremlins Inc., Hard West): $886.50 - a collection of diverse strategies that you can hardly guess to buy separately.

First-person puzzles (Portal 2, The Talos Principle, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Superhot, The Witness) - but here, on the contrary, such games that if you liked one or two, then most likely you will like the rest. However, discounts on recent The Witness and Superhot are small, so they make the bundle more expensive.

Bundle Shadowrun : 336 p. - the whole series restarted, but without questionable quality Shadowrun Chronicles. It costs about as much as any of the games included in it without a discount.

Valve Complete Pack: $743.17 - the very time when all the games valve you can buy cheap and not take anything else for a long time.

Spiderweb Software Complete Pack: $2.99 - when the video card dies, when there are no newfangled RPGs, but you want to play something, you will always come to the rescue SpiderWeb Software, which over many decades has accumulated all sorts of isometric goodness for 60-80 hours of play each.

Two bundles Tale of Tales: Collection (174 rubles) and Experience (399 rubles): in 2015 studio Tale of Tales disappointed in commercial games and curtailed development, but the games themselves, unlike most of the upcoming ones, remained.

Double Fine Bundle 2015 : most of the games Double Fine, including the canceled Spacebase DF-9 and not the best Massive Chalice, and great Psychonauts.

Assassin's Creed Bundle ( Black Flag, Rogue, Unity, Syndicate): $2898.90 - relatively fresh Assassins at a still biting price.
