From now until July 9, there's thousands of titles discounted across the whole of the Steam store so you can fill up that backlog with some goodies.
Like every year, the Steam store struggles to cope with the demand and it's been up and down as people from all over the world rush to check out the deals. Valve has included a few extras this year. If you spend £30/$30 or regional equivalent you get £5/$5 off the price of it which is applied at the checkout.
Something of a novelty is included this year too as a brand new Steam feature with a special Points Shop. This is a permanent thing. As Valve said 'The Points Shop is here to stay, now open all year round.'. So at least now we know what the rumoured Steam Rewards system would be.
It works similarly to previous special sale event systems though, where you gather points which you can then spend on various fluff. This includes avatar frames, animated stickers, chat effects and more. Everything you buy from games to DLC and soundtracks gives you points. On top of that, you can also reward community content like reviews with badges which will then send some points to that user. Will be interesting to see how Valve plan to expand this Points Shop since it's sticking around.
The Steam Summer Sale is always a great time to pick up new games that you’ll probably never get around to playing. If you’re like us, and you’re looking to add some new titles to your backlog. The Steam Summer Sale is an annual sale that Steam offers during the hottest months of the year. During this time, you can save big money on some of the hottest PC and VR titles. There will be sales on thousands of games on the Steam store. In 2020, the sale will run from June 25th until July 9th. And as is customary with every Steam Sale for years now, the Steam Summer Sale 2020 dates have been leaked, just like the dates of its preceding sales. The dates were announced by Pavel Djundik, the mastermind behind SteamDB. He took to Twitter to announce that the Steam Summer Sale 2020 will begin on June 25th and continue until July 9.
Plenty of amazing deals going like Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun at 85% off, Civilization VI with 75% off, Prison Architect has 75% off, Don't Starve Together gets 66% off, a personal favourite Dying Light also has 66% off and if you're after a little strategy Into the Breach has 50% off. There's even a brand new Cities: Skylines - City Startup Bundle created for the sale, which brings in the latest expansion for new players.
The Steam Summer Sale 2020 will run from June 25 until July 9. Head on over to Steam for all the deals.
As an additional note, SteamDB put out a call recently for help to get people to use their Token Dumper. Keeping in mind SteamDB is unofficial, they've been pretty helpful for numerous reasons over the years. On Twitter, they mentioned that Steam now requires more to access package info, so 'SteamDB will no longer be able to get info for packages that are not in the store or we have no token for' so the Token Dumper was set up to help. Use at your own risk on that.
