Valve”s annual summer sale has reduced several games again. We provide you with interesting offers and a price comparison

Summer has begun, our fingers are glued to the mouse pointer, our backs arch in the scorching heat, the summer storm is longed for more than a good Star Wars sequel. But there”s a highlight even for the summer sourpusses: the big Steam Summer Sale. In 2023, one of the biggest Steam promotions of the year is going into a new round – starting right now!

Once again, hundreds of games are on sale, including blockbusters like Anno 1800, Sekiro and Total War: Warhammer 3. Reason enough to see if your Pile of Shame is already triggering no-fly zones or if there”s still a bit of room for improvement. Let”s clarify the most important questions and show you what is currently reduced.

Start time: When does the Steam Summer Sale 2023 start?

The Steam Summer Sale has been running since 29 June 2023 at 19:00. As expected, there may be server hiccups, so don”t spam F5 wildly, but give the servers a few minutes.

Endpoint: How long does the Steam Summer Sale last?

The really big seasonal Steam sales always run longer than the smaller Halloween promotions, so you”re in luck: The Steam Summer Sale 2023 runs until 13 July 2023, so you have easily two weeks to think through potential purchases. The promotion ends at 19:00 German time

Shut up, I want to see the trailer

Okay, okay, good manners never hurt anyone, but for our sake – here”s the first trailer for the Steam Summer Sale:

Don”t forget to check your Steam library before buying a new one. The Pile of Shame is real for most gamers. And it can prevent you from spending money unnecessarily when you still have great (unplayed) titles in your library.

We talked to psychologists about this topic to gather professional tips on how to effectively counteract the Pile of Shame. In the article above, members of the Plus family read up.
