Sale Details

The Steam Spring Sale 2026 will run from May 1st at 10:00 AM PT through May 15th at 10:00 AM PT. Valve has indicated that this year’s Spring Sale will feature deeper discounts than previous years, with over 40,000 titles participating.

Developers have been given an extended registration window to opt into the sale, which Valve says has resulted in the largest Spring Sale participation to date.

Alongside the sale, Valve is introducing a new “Spring Picks” event where curators and community members can vote on themed collections. The most popular collections will be featured on the store front page throughout the sale.

The Points Shop will receive new seasonal items including profile backgrounds, animated avatars, and mini-profile themes tied to a spring garden aesthetic.

Tips for Shoppers

Use the Steam Wishlist feature to get notified when games on your list go on sale. All discounts are available for the full duration of the sale, so there’s no need to rush — take your time and compare prices.

Check our Steam Price History tool to verify that sale prices represent genuine discounts compared to historical lows. Some games may show a percentage discount but still be priced above their all-time low.
