Last month it was leaked that the upcoming annual Steam Summer Sale would be kicking off on the 23rd of June. Given that this isn’t official news, we guess there are some who were rightfully skeptical about it. The good news is that it looks like the dates have since been confirmed by PayPal themselves.
It should be noted that Valve has yet to make any kind of official announcement regarding the summer sale, but in the past we have seen PayPal make their announcements on their behalf ahead of time and so far they haven’t been wrong, so it seems unlikely this the dates provided this time are inaccurate (but we’ll keep an eye on it anyway, just to be safe).
PayPal did not mention when the sale would end, but assuming the previous leak is correct, it will end on the 4th of July. To be more specific, the sale will kick off at 9:45am PT on the 23rd of June, and end at 10am PT on the 4th of July. We expect that the sale this year will bring about a ton of huge discounts to some of your favorite games.
It has also been speculated that maybe we could look forward to some hardware discounts, like for the Steam Controller, and maybe even discounts on VR-related titles. Either way if you have some games you’ve been meaning to buy, time to get your credit cards ready.
