When is the next big Steam Sale? Upcoming steam sales & discounts – full schedule

Okay, okay so the Steam Winter Sale has not long finished  but we are never far away from the next big discount fest. Steam, as you may know has four major sales period based around the seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. So far we have dates for the next two of those, Spring and Summer and you can see everything else coming up in the table below.

Outside of the four main sales there are plenty of themed promotions that tend to rotate around genres – for example, the RTS sale finishes later today but then we have the Idler Fest sale starting just a few days later. Basically, there is always something on sale on Steam, just whether it fits into the sort of games you find yourself playing is the only question.

When is the Steam Spring sale?

As well as all the themed events the next large season Steam Sale is of course the Spring Sale which will start on 13th March and run for a week until the 20th. While a week is not the longest Steam sale we get, it should still hopefully give you enough time to get what you want, although annoying for many it will fall the week before a lot of people’s pay day, so you might want to consider saving up a few magic beans to make sure you can snap up any new bargains you have been after.
