Sale ended early?

It's 7 pm central. Its supposed to go through today. Why has the sale stopped before the day was over?

Most sales, event's etc end at 10AM PDT, or 12PM Central.

Sale ends on 1/24 doesn't meant 1/24 23:59:59 your time zone.

This would hardly be the first time a user has raised this question. It's been this way since Steam has been selling games.

Time zones basically.

Steam works on their time in Seatlle. So when it's midday there, that's when it changes (or finishes).

That equates to 6pm here in Britain. So whatever it is in your timezone.

Thanks guys. This is the first time I've ever actually dealt with a Steam sale. Now I know!

Any store that promotes sales are going to have time frame how long they last, it best to figure that out, and if it going by timezone that is not of your own, it best to use Google to figure out what time zone they're in going by.

Just like with games having midnight launch via digital stores, often they don't go by everyone midnight but actually a fixed time zone midnight which yes have to google time zone to compare to your time zone.

Steam lunar sale going to start on the 27th, so keep in mind, after that there might be Anime golden week sale which said to be around end of April this year.

Most sales I've seen on Steam these days even have a countdown till the sale ends. I didn't notice it for that sale, but I'm assuming it was there.

Yeah, while it is a good idea to be aware of the fact Steam is an international platform and know what time in your country the store refreshes each day it does also usually tell you on a games store page exactly when a discount is going to end with a live countdown.
