When Is the Next Steam Sale?

Valve has detailed the company’s upcoming sales throughout the year, including when the next Steam Sale will take place. 

As with every Steam Sale, it’s impossible to predict what will and won’t be on sale. Last year’s sales saw a wealth of solid discounts on older titles, but few on the more recently-released titles. I still paid £25 for Cyberpunk 2077 though, so maybe I’m part of the problem. 

Anywho, below you’ll find a breakdown of every Steam Sale coming in 2023 and should you decide to continue reading, we’ve also got when all the major Next Fests and events are as well.
