A Steam sale is one of the best opportunities to pick up some games you’ve been eager to play. Here’s everything you need to know about the next Steam events and sales, including all the key dates and themes.
When is the 2024 Steam Winter sale?
The next Steam sale begins Dec. 19 at 12pm CT and ends on Jan. 2 at the same time, bringing with it a bunch of Holiday-related savings to some of your favorite games. It is the final sale of the year and the best way to spend some of your holiday bonus on some games you’ve been dying to play over the year.
The next Steam sale after the Winter Sale is going to be the Ream-Time Strategy Fest from Jan. 20, with Next Fest, the bigger of the sales, coming back Feb. 24, 2025, until March 3, 2025. So you’ll have a few months until a big sale comes about if you miss this one.
