If you’re a PC gamer, Steam is your best friend. Valve changed how the best PC games were bought and played when it created this platform and we’ve never looked back. Others like Epic and Ubisoft have tried to create their own launchers, but the hardcore gamers will never abandon Steam. It isn’t just for convenience, either. Steam sales offer the best deals in the entire industry, with massive games regularly seeing discounts of 50%, 60%, 70% or more. Most of us hold off on buying upcoming PC games we’re excited about in hopes that the price will be slashed in an upcoming Steam sale. But how long will you need to wait until the next sale? Steam sales come regularly, but if you’re looking to save up for the next one, here’s how long you have.
When is the next Steam sale?
The first major sale of 2025 is the Steam Spring Sale. This event will run from March 13 and end one week later on March 20. This is hot off the heels of the Steam Next Fest, where tons of demos were released for upcoming PC games. Odds are none of those titles will be out in time for this sale, but no doubt there will be tons of games hitting record-low prices for you to spend your cash on.
Steam sales do pop up all the time between the major seasonal ones, but the four big sales are always the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter sales, so your best bet at a great deal is to wait for these events.
