Over the years, the Steam Summer Sale has become a tradition in the gaming community, and now 2024’s long-awaited edition is finally here!

Gamers eagerly anticipate the sale’s arrival each year and plan their purchases accordingly, sometimes even saving up specifically for the event.

During the sale - which typically runs for a couple of weeks and is accompanied by daily deals, flash sales and other special promotions - Steam offers significant discounts on a vast range of games, sometimes up to as much as 70 - 90% off.

This means you can purchase games you've been eyeing for a while at much lower prices, a great opportunity to expand your game library without spending a fortune.

With so many games on sale, it’s also an excellent opportunity to discover new titles you might not have considered before, with the discounted prices making it easier to take a chance on something new and potentially find a hidden gem.
