Posted Sept. 29, 2022, 5:24 p.m. At this point, Steam’s many platform-wide sales are something many gamers look forward to, with these massive discounts making thousands of games too cheap to ignore. Moving forward, Steam will be changing a couple of things regarding this seasonal tradition.In a first for the platform, Steam has announced the dates of its next three major seasonal sales, instead of having surprise drops for these massive sales. The upcoming dates are: Autumn Sale: November 22 to November 29, 2022 Winter Sale: December 22, 2022, to January 5, 2023 Spring Sale: March 16 to March 23, 2023The Spring Sale will be making its debut next year and will replace the usual Lunar New Year sale, with Steam’s sales period moving forward covering the four major seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.This announcement was made through an official community post, where the platform states that the addition of a Spring Sale has been a popular request from the developers and publishers on Steam.The post goes on to explain how the Lunar New Year Sale was introduced in 2016 to celebrate the developers and gamers of Asia. Steam has since received feedback on the close proximity of the Lunar New Year Sale to the Winter Sale, hence the introduction of the Spring Sale in March.While this does not mean

Just in case your massive backlog of games isn't quite massive enough, Steam's 2024 Lunar New Year Sale is here to help you bulk it up a little bit more.You might recall that in 2022, Valve announced that it was replacing its annual Lunar New Year Sale with a Spring Sale, giving it a big annual sale for each of the four seasons. But then in 2023 it surprised us all with a Chinese New Year Sale, and now it's 2024 and—surprise again!—the Lunar New Year event is back in business.As always, the Steam Lunar New Year Sale features discounts on a range of games, with a focus on studios based in China—in fact, it's "hosted by Steam China," according to the sale banner, that being the limited version of Steam that's legally available to people living in mainland China.It's not the biggest of the multitudinous parade of Steam sales that passes our way each year, but here are a few games I think look interesting (and are well-rated by users):My Time at Portia - $6/£5/€6 (80% off)Mr. Pumpkin Adventure - $1/£1/€1 (72% off)My Vow to My Liege - $6/£4/€5 (40% off)Opus: Echo of Starsong Full Bloom Edition - $13/£11/€12 (50% off)Warm Snow - $13/£10/€11 (30% off)And yes, there are daily rewards as well—like this cute little baby dragon sticker. (I think it's a baby dragon, anyway.)(Image credit: Valve)Valve didn't say why it's brought the Lunar New Year Sale back just a couple years after pulling the plug on it, but I'd wager it has something to do with the explosive growth of Steam in China. The Steam Hardware and Software Survey indicates that Simplified Chinese is one of the dominant languages used on the storefront (and has been for some time), and while those results aren't scientifically precise—in October 2023, for instance, Simplified Chinese was the language of choice of nearly 46% of Steam users, while English accounted for just 26.4%, and that seems like the kind of variance that raises questions about methodology—there's no doubt that people whose primary language is Chinese make up a huge portion of Steam's user base.Steam's download stats page reinforces the scale of the Chinese market, revealing that China accounts for 28% of Steam's global traffic—more than a quarter of the world's usage concentrated in one single country. The US, by comparison, sucks up 18.7% of Steam traffic.Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.Steam's 2024 Lunar New Year Sale is live now and runs until February 15. The big Steam Spring Sale will follow in just over a month, on March 14.

This year we don't have spring sale? Or I completely missed it? XD Comment has been collapsed. The amount of sales for the past 2 weeks, is pretty much a spring sale for me. ^.- too bad I missed the capcom one... Or its about to start... Idk. Comment has been collapsed. yeah It's over but Summer Sale and winter sale they are always the best at lowering prices so save your wallet for Summer Sale Comment has been collapsed. Steam doesn't have spring sales. Only summer, autumn and winter. Comment has been collapsed. There was spring sale this year tho. Comment has been collapsed. I saw spring VR sale, didn't know if it was that or what. Comment has been collapsed. There wasn't. There were random sales during spring but no massive 'Spring Sale' like they have in other seasons. Comment has been collapsed. Sometimes Steam has Chinese New Year's sale. Close to as the summer and winter sales in significance. Comment has been collapsed. Steam has smaller sales for what concerns mainly holidays, being them Western or not, but Jinnai is right - there is no Spring Sale. Comment has been collapsed. I elaborated on that a couple years back: pretty steadily stuck to their four sale + themed weekend sales approach since then; The fourth notable/reliable sale is Halloween, not Spring, which is a bit harder to intuitively remember [and it has traditionally been a weekend sale in duration, itself- historically, the only especially lengthy sales are Summer and Winter, though Autumn has been catching up to them as the years go on, and last year's Halloween sale was comparable].There've been a couple Lunar Sales in February [back in 2016 and the start of this year] comparable in length to the yearly Autumn Sale or lengthier 2017 Halloween Sale in duration, but they're still unreliable additions [and, unlike the Autumn/Exploration sale, have never been labeled as a 'Spring Sale'].Edit: I've updated the chart with the past two years of sales dates. Comment has been collapsed. Summer, Autumn, Halloween and Winter. Mind you, the latter three are weeks apart from one another. Comment has been collapsed. I'm totally going to be ignoring those for PSN sales, I just know it. Dang PS4, always demanding I get more games. Comment has been collapsed. Comment has been collapsed. Comment has been collapsed. Very detailed leak, it looks almost like not just anyone could have said it... :P Comment has been collapsed. Ohh, right when summer starts, and also in my birthday hohoho. I'll autogift me something nice! :P Comment has been collapsed. Autogifs are the best gifts :) Comment has been collapsed. Every single Steam sale is at the middle

Steam sales also offer a great opportunity to try out new games, perhaps even ones you haven’t heard of. Luckily, they happen fairly often, with smaller sales happening monthly.READ MORE: ‘Hitman Freelancer’ is ‘Hitman’ at its very bestThere are a few different kinds of Steam sale to consider here.
