Most PC gamers have plenty of history with the storewide sales that Steam hosts a few times a year, offering absolutely massive amounts of discounts to peruse for a couple of weeks at a time. In between them, the store has other kinds of genre-specific sales and game festivals to keep things exciting. Today, Valve gave a complete look at what's incoming in 2025.
While the events incoming in the first half of 2025 had already been announced for publishers and developers to register for, now the complete year has been planned out.
This includes the major discount promotions like Steam Spring Sale, Steam Summer Sale, and Steam Winter Sale, as well as sale events that celebrate horror experiences, visual novels, and city builders, as well as demo festivals that offer players hands-on looks at upcoming indies for free.
Interestingly, Valve is moving back the Steam Autumn Sale from late November (its usual time) to late September this year.
Here's the complete list of sales and events hitting Steam in 2025:
