The Steam Summer Sale 2026 goes live today, 25 June, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time and runs through to 9 July 2026. As with previous years, all discounts are active for the full two-week duration with no rotating daily deals, so there is no rush to buy on day one. Valve confirmed the dates via its official Steamworks event schedule well ahead of the sale, and the storefront is now showing discounts across more than 4,000 participating titles.
Average discounts sit at around 45 per cent, with the most common tiers landing at 50, 57, and 75 per cent off. Deeper cuts of up to 90 per cent are available on older catalogue titles. Several notable 2026 releases are making their first significant sale appearances this summer, including Gothic 1 Remake, Resident Evil Requiem, and Crimson Desert. Bigger 2025 titles, including Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, are seeing reductions in the 40 per cent-plus range, and Dead Space is available for under $10 this cycle. The sale covers PC, Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck titles uniformly.
The timing is well chosen. June 25 also marks the opening of GTA 6 pre-orders at midnight local time, making it one of the busiest days in gaming this summer. Beyond that, the sale arrives ahead of a packed few months on PC: Halo: Campaign Evolved launches 28 July, The Blood of Dawnwalkeron 3 September, and Gears of War E-Day on 6 October. For anyone looking to fill the gaps between those releases or simply clear a long-neglected wishlist, the Steam Summer Sale 2026 is live now at store.steampowered.com.
