Steam Sales: When to Get the Best Deals
Steam holds several major sales throughout the year. During these events, most games receive significant discounts — from 50% to 90%. Here are the main sales:
- Summer Sale (June–July) — the biggest sale of the year, lasting ~2 weeks
- Winter Sale (December–January) — the second largest, coinciding with the holiday season
- Autumn Sale (November) — coincides with Steam Awards nominations
- Spring Sale (March) — a major sale with a wide range of discounts
Additionally, publishers regularly run their own promotions, and themed sales (Halloween, Lunar New Year) offer discounts on specific genres.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check a Steam game's price?
Enter the game name in our search bar. You'll see the current price, active discounts, and prices across 12 regions worldwide. Data is loaded directly from the Steam store.
Why do prices differ between countries?
Steam uses regional pricing that allows publishers to set different prices based on each country's purchasing power. However, changing your region to get lower prices violates Steam's Terms of Service.
When is the best time to buy games?
The best discounts come during major Steam sales (Summer, Autumn, Winter). Discounts reach 50–90% on most games. If the current discount is 75% or higher, it's almost always a great time to buy. Check when the next sale starts in our Steam Sales calendar.
How do I know if a discount is good?
Our tool automatically rates deal quality: 75%+ is great, 50–74% is good, 20–49% is average, below 20% means you should wait for a major sale. We also show the next sale date so you can decide whether to wait.

Steam holds 4–6 major sales per year: Lunar New Year (February), Spring (March), Summer (June–July), Halloween (October), Autumn (November), and Winter (December). Publishers also run their own promotions year-round.
