» Watch video: Steam festivals
In addition to the Summer, Spring and Winter Sale, Steam also offers other discount campaigns. You can find out what the Steam Festivals offer and where you can find them in the video.
Festivals instead of big sales
If you were hoping for an offer for a specific game, you don’t have to despair. And no, this is not about key seller platforms. The solution can be found directly on Steam itself and is accessible to everyone.
In addition to the huge sales, the platform also organizes smaller, thematically focused events every few weeks. A good example was recently the Medieval Games Festival, where you could get big discounts on titles like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 or The Witcher 3.
Festival calendar on Steam
The best thing about it: Steam doesn’t keep these events secret. In the official one Steamworks documentationwhich is actually intended for developers, Valve publishes a calendar with all the upcoming promotions. There you can see exactly when the next thematic festival is coming up.
Plans include, for example, the Deck Builders Festival – the perfect chance to finally treat yourself to Balatro -, the Social Deduction Games Festival for all Among Us fans or even a Train Games Festival for railway simulation lovers.
Missed the sale? No problem
So if you’re hoping for a sale on a specific game, it’s worth taking a look at this list. There is a high probability that a title will also be reduced during the appropriate genre festival. This way you can plan your purchases better and don’t have to wait for the next big summer or winter sale.
