There are two big ones the "Summer Sale" (Late June ish) and "Winter Sale" (Late December ish) and a few other larger ones during holidays and such.

You just missed a large sale over Black Friday, next sale should be in a few weeks which will be the "Winter Sale."

Here's the lowdown on sales: They do not publish sale dates ahead of time . Last year there was a Lunar/Chinese New Year sale in February (it didn't happen this year), Summer Sale (most titles) in June, Halloween sale (horror titles), Autumn sale (general) around Thanksgiving, and the Winter sale (general) around Christmas.

Lastly, you have the constant sales as well. The daily title sale (posted at 1 p.m. est lasting 48 hours), Mid-week madness sales (I think tue-thr @1 p.m.)), Weekend sales (thurs-monday @ 1 p.m.), Week long sales (Monday 1 p.m.-next monday @1 p.m.). Also publishers are free to make sales at any point they wish ( I believe the minimum length is 48 hours.

There can also be limited time trials of part/full games (free weekends usually ) and very rarely a game may be given away for a short period of time to keep forever if you start downloading it within that time window.
