2027 Steam Sales Revealed For First Half Of The Year

Valve has announced the 2027 Steam Sales and Festivals for the first half of the year. These sales include the major seasonal sales such as the Spring and Summer sales as well as various festivals like Steam Next Fest, Racing Fest, Fighting Fest, and more.

A breakdown of the sales and festival descriptions is as follows, courtesy of Valve:

• Major Seasonal Sales: Steam celebrates the changing of the seasons four times a year with Steam-wide seasonal sales events, open to all released games to participate with a discount.
• Themed Sales Events (Fests): Several times a year, Steam hosts a wide range of celebrations surrounding themed categories, different each time and often different year-to-year. We have fun trying to come up with themes that are different enough to get players excited about discovering fun games, while also continuing to offer as many games as possible the chance to participate.
• Next Fest: Steam Next Fest highlights upcoming games on Steam with this thrice-yearly event, packed with free demos for players and the opportunity for developers to connect with and build an audience through wishlists.
