Video games can be expensive.It's not a cheap hobby, and with the latest AAA new game now priced at $80, more and more games are being backlogged on the list to be played.Rather than buying these games at launch, you will find that some games are better off putting aside first.The prices of these games will drop over time.However, you can also buy games at a low price by keeping an eye on promotions, such as the upcoming Steam Summer Sale.

Valve is known for hosting multiple promotions.We usually see seasonal promotions that significantly reduce the price of games in their stores.While we are still waiting for the official trailer to warm up the promotion, we already know the exact time to host thanks to an early post about the 2025 promotion earlier this year.

If you don't remember, Valve released a roadmap for the first half of 2025, showing off various upcoming promotions and festivals.The last promotion highlighted in the post is the official date of Steam Summer Sale.The promotion date is June 26, 2025 and will last until July 10, 2025.

Again, we don't have any previews on which games will be discounted yet.All seasonal promotions on Steam are important, but Steam Summer promotions may get more attention, as there may be a lot of players on holiday or on vacation by then.This may give you plenty of time to start playing some games you've been following.

Of course, once we learn more, we show more about promotions and which games are being discounted.But at least for now, you know when you can expect the promotion to start.
