When is the next Steam sale? It feels like one Steam sale has just ended when the next one begins, but with some events offering better discounts than others and genre-specific sales, it’s a good idea to keep these dates to hand.
Fortunately, Valve has released the entire Steam sale dates for the rest of the year and beyond, so that you can plan your wishlist. Whether you’re looking for new PC games to sink your teeth into or simply the best PC games of all time, there’s something for everyone on Steam. Smaller publisher sales can introduce you to new favorites if you get to the bargains in time, while seasonal sales are much bigger and last one to two weeks, with more games, DLC, and bundles available with chunkier discounts.

Steam sale Wishlist
The best Steam feature, especially for keeping an eye on sales, is your Wishlist. Sure, browsing these sales for some decent bargains or games you’ve never heard of before can often introduce you to surprise hits, but if there are games that you know you want, be sure to add them to your wishlist to be notified when they go on sale.
There is almost always a sale going on on Steam, and if you’re unsure, the current sale is most likely being advertised on the Steam front page. Even when there’s no event on, there are always special offers, so check out the Steam specials page, and be sure to wishlist your most wanted games so you’re notified when they go on sale.
