Steam sale dates are usually a case of guesswork or conjecture based on previous sale periods.

Recently though, Valve has begun confirming the future dates outright.

  • Upcoming PC games: The best new games to look forward to

Late in 2022 Valve announced that it was dropping the Lunar New Year celebration sale. The company said that it was due to feedback that it was too close to the Winter sale, that seems to have changed now though because the Lunar New Year sale 2023 is indeed currently running on the Steam Store.

This current Steam sale is part of the East Meets West initiative by Curve Games but also includes a Sega Lunar Sale as well, with up to 80 per cent discounts on Sega games.

Upcoming Steam Sales

After this sale ends there will naturally be a number of other sale periods throughout the year. The current planned Steam Sale calendar looks like this:

  • Steam Spring Sale: 16 March to 23 March Steam Summer Sale: Unannounced Steam Autumn Sale: 22 November to 29 November Steam Winter Sale: 22 December to 5 January

What about Steam Fest?

As well as the main Steam sale dates we obviously also have the various Steam Fest events to watch out for. These are themed celebrations for specific game genres where there are usually special game discounts, in-game events and more.

The Steam Fest calendar currently includes:

  • Steam Base Builder fest: 23 January to 30 January Steam Mystery Fest: 20 February to 27 February Steam Next Fest: 3 October to 10 October Steam Scream Fest (Halloween): 25 October to 1 November
