Steam sales are a great way to pick up a selection of games at a heavily reduced price. Often, it’s worth waiting for the sales, given just how cheap some games can be, and how easy it is to pick up multiple games at once. 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.
There are a few different kinds of Steam sale to consider here. The first is smaller sales, which can occur a couple of times a month. Then there’s seasonal sales, like horror games at Halloween etc. Finally, there are major seasonal sales. Generally, there are four of these major seasonal sales a year, and they tend to be where you’ll find the best offers and discounts.
