Prepare Your Wallets: Steam Summer Sale Begins In Two Weeks

Valve's latest Steam Summer Sale begins on June 11, and will be followed by a full two days of encore sales.

<a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/tag/view/summer>Summer technically begins on June 21, but I'd say most of us would be happy if it could start now. But for many gamers, summer doesn't kick off with weather and ending school programs - it happens when Valve kicks off <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/125896-Steam-Summer-Sale-Goes-Live>the annual Steam sale. This period heralds insane price cuts and discounts across the entire Steam library and puts a rather significant drain on our wallets before starting the vacation season. But at least now we have some time to prepare, as this year's Summer Sale runs from June 11-20, 2015.

The news broke today when IGN Russia spotted a post on VKontakte, a social network platform used across the country. While there aren't any details on specific offers, it states that the sale will run for just over a week followed by two days of encore sales. If it's anything like previous Summer Sales, Valve will probably also run a meta-game like the Steam Summer Adventure that let players collect and trade digital trading cards.

Now if you'll excuse me, it's time to update my wishlist.

Wonder what silly game they will implement this time, so the community can abuse it and everyone will whine over 6 cents.

I'm glad the 2 last years have been boring as hell, if not my wallet would feel threatened right now.

I apologize from taking this video from the first person who uploaded it from the last video but it is still my curreny favourite Steam sale video!

OT- Please let Borderlands:The Pre Sequel Doppelganger and Baroness packs be on sale! I got back to playing the game and loving it all over it again!

So the summer sale kicks off when E3 kicks off. This should be interesting.

 

[Aerosteam]

Good. I have 50 games on my wishlist and they ain't dropping down in price by themselves.

 

[marioandsonic]

Oh goody, I was wondering when those games on my wishlist would finally drop in price!

I can't wait.

<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midsummer>Midsummer begins on June 21,

Fixed that for you.

Meh.

I'm gonna play about 300 more hours of Witcher 3, and then there is the new Terraria patch....I dont need a new game for years

 

[Hairless Mammoth]

I just checked my wallet and there was a note saying I need to play Freedom Planet and WH40K: Space Marine, the only two games I bought during the winter sale, first. Maybe I'll ignore that note for a few minutes to browse what's being offered, but I might not even sign in to Steam, during the whole sale just to avoid temptation.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Between Witcher 3, GTAV, Pillars of Eternity and Invisble Inc plus the all the other games from pass sales in my backlog for once I can honestly say I think I'm good for games for the moment.

Gird thy loins fellow gamers... IT BEGINS

Spoiler: Accurate depiction of my wallet's near future

 

[Zydrate]

Good. I get paid again in exactly two weeks.

 

[MonsterCrit]

Well the only uestion is.. what gimmick will they use this year and... when will GoG try doing their SUmmer Sale.. before or after Steam.

 

[Nazulu]

I have gathered many on my wishlist this time that never altered, never came down. But now, the end is nigh! Hahahahhahaha

 

[gorfias]

I'm thinking there's nothing left they could possibly tempt me with. Then...

Good I can finally get GTA 5. I refuse to pay more than $40 for it after they delayed its PC release so damn long.

Crap. There goes $40. And with Comicon coming. Games. Comics. Decisions.

 

[Vigormortis]

Here's hoping Grey Goo, Oblitus, Homeworld: Remastered, Apotheon, and Titan Souls go on sale. Been wanting them all, but I can't justify buying them at their listed prices - especially Homeworld.[footnote]Still have my original copy, and it still works.[/footnote]

Well...those and Terraria. If I can nab a dozen or so copies at a buck a piece I will happily spread the joy around. I have no problem dropping a 10 or a 20 in that endeavor.

Though, this makes me wonder...

Now that Valve is going to start offering hardware on the Storefront, will they slash those prices as well during the holiday/seasonal sales?

I wonder only because, though I feel $50 is a reasonable price, I'd love to pick up a Steam Controller this fall for $40 or less.

What can I say? Sometimes I'm frugal to a fault.

 

[TruthInGaming]

Good. I have 50 games on my wishlist and they ain't dropping down in price by themselves.

Amen to that.
