Steam’s Summer Sale is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated event for gamers all around the globe. For those who do not know much about this, every year around the end of June, Steam offers a discount on prices for a lot of games (yes, a lot). This is one of the many discount events that Steam offers throughout the year, the summer edition being one of the biggest, where you can get discounts of 10 per cent to 90 per cent on your desired games.
Last year, a whopping 5,199 games went on sale which included popular titles like DOOM, Rocket League and Grand Theft Auto V. This year’s sale likely begins tomorrow as revealed by PayPal. PayPal’s UK Twitter account tweeted that the sale will go live on 6 PM BST (10 AM PT / 1 PM ET) on Thursday, 22 June. However, nothing has been confirmed by Valve itself, PayPal does have a promotion in place for the event as spending £20 on Steam with PayPal during the sale will save you £5.
