Steam reveals all the sale dates and themed events for the first half of 2027
I’ve been around long enough that I can remember a time when we didn’t know Steam sale dates in advance. We had a rough window, based on the timing of previous sales, but the absence of anything precise meant that all of us poor news guys had to sit around mashing F5 on Steam every hour.
It sounds weird now, because now, Valve tells everyone well in advance when all of these things are going to happen. And I do mean all, as you can see in the Steamworks schedule shared today that lays out all the Steam sales and themed events set to happen in the first half of 2027.
“What better way to celebrate making it (more than) halfway through 2026 than by sharing the schedule of all the awesome Steam events we have planned for the first half of 2027?” Valve wrote, reminding us all of the daily struggle to survive we face in each of our remaining days upon this benighted world. “Each year we work to come up with different ideas for fun themes to build fests around so that all kinds of games can be celebrated, and we’re excited about where we’ve landed for 2027 so far.”
Here’s what’s coming in the year two-oh-two-seven, up to and including the Steam Summer Sale:
- January 2027
- February 2027
- March 2027
- April 2027
- May 2027
- June 2027
So there you have it: A look 12 months into the future of Steam sales and themed events that will keep you absolutely buried in bargoons and wondering when you’re ever going to have time to play all these games—sometimes even as you buy them. And fear not: As linked above, we keep a running tally of Steam sale dates you can check with if you’re ever worried that you might be missing one.
