sale When does the Steam sale end?

[gal-m]

When does it end? Is there a date? If I understand correctly it should last till June 8th, but I am unsure. Also, does it end "equally" for all games (not sure how to put it, but I think you'll understand) or does it vary and some games go back to normal pricing sooner than others?

 

Thanks

Based on the Steam website https://store.steampowered.com/ I'd say the same probably runs until July 8th at 1000 pacific time.

Yeah, I read that too. It prob. lasts till 8th of July like I thought

 

How about the games? Does the sale end sooner for some of them or is it all equal - would you know anything about that @kirashi?

In past years, most games remain on sale for the duration of the event, unless they're one day surprise sales. I would imagine this is the case for this sale too, but I don't work for Valve so this could change at any second.

Usually limited time sales like that will tell you how much longer they will be on sale so even if a specific game is not on sale the whole time it would say so on its store page. Granted I haven't really seen it during summer sales events and events like it. Usually at other times when there is a sudden sale it will say how long it will be on sale.

Really glad to hear that @Brooksie359, thanks! The reason I was wondering that is because I'm not anywhere close to my computer until Tuesday and wanted to buy some games then

Can you not use the mobile app?

 

You can buy them and then download them when you get home...I've done it myself a few times.

Yeah I think all games on sale are on sale for the entire event. They haven't done the flash sales or daily sales in several years. I have to admit, it's more convenient now but it does take some of the excitement out of it.

Oh... I honestly didn't know there was a mobile app 

Thanks, that's actually a good idea

I was going to buy a couple of new games anyways because I'm going to be setting up a brand new system next week, but since a lot of them are on sale I'd really like to take advantage of that @Maury Sells Wigs.

I bought Mafia 3:Definitive Edition, Far Cry 5, and Bioshock Infinite last week and the combined price was just over £20 (probably about $/€25).

 

The mobile app is great, it's just like a slimmed down version of the proper desktop one.

 

If you are Android just visit the Play Store, if you are on i-phone I can't say if it is on the apple store...but I can't see why it wouldn't be.

 

Anyway, good luck.
