The Summer Steam Sale Is Here
As the warmer months arrive, one thought lingers in the back of every PC gamer's mind. Each morning, one question is repeated over and over. "When does the Steam Summer Sale begin?"
We have an answer, bargain hunters. The Steam Sale begins… NOW.
In addition to eleven days of savings (including 50 percent off Bioshock Infinite and Hotline Miami for less than $3 today), eight-hour, community-driven flash sales will see even deeper cuts.
Additionally, last month's launch of Steam Trading Cards is paying off, with eight of thirteen daily deals today offering them. This time out, the unique profile badge for the sale can only be earned by crafting the cards you earn (or acquire from friends).
We're aware that the Steam Store is undergoing some heavy traffic right now. Our suggestion is to come back a little later once things even out a bit.
Our Take
The Steam Sale continues to offer absurd bargains for PC gamers. This discount season has come out of the gate strong with great prices on Bioshock Infinite, Hotline Miami, Defiance, Don't Starve, Endless Space and others. Don't forget to vote in the flash sales if there's something big you've been hoping to nab for very little.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
