Hi all,

Anyone have any idea when the next Steam sale might be?

Given Christmas is around the corner.

There may be a small one around Black Friday/Cyber Monday. The next big one will be the Winter Sale (dates tba). Also note that there are many threads discussing this already.

They do not publish sale dates ahead of time as it would hurt business. Last year there was a Spring sale (just indie titles) in March, Summer Sale (most titles) in July, Halloween sale (horror titles), Autumn sale (don't remember general I think) around Thanksgiving, and the Winter sale around Christmas(general).

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 minnimum length is 48 hours though it could be 24).

There can also be limited time trials of part/full games 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

Still though they don't announce them ahead of time.You're on these forums regularly, I'm sure you see the constant "when will X go on sale" "when is the next big sale" "I bought X for 20% off and it went on sale for 50% off later" threads. The people asking these questions don't seem like they are the best at recognizing/looking into patterns/history.
