Every year, Valve adds a fun minigame to its sale — whether it be collecting badges or some kind of trading-card-palooza. This year is no exception, since you can now “fight the Duldrumz” in a new minigame. This will of course net you some trading cards. I guess it’s true what they say about Valve making games again. Maybe you’ve cultivated a perfect wishlist this year, just waiting for the perfect moment — if so, good for you. But sometimes, you just want to mosey through a sale at your own pace. Well, if you get overwhelmed, here are some of the best deals from this year’s sale. But you’ll need to act fast if you want to nab any of these; the 2018 Steam Summer Sale ends on July 5.<doc-sep>
The Steam Summer Sale for 2018 starts today (June 21), which is great news for people who love video games and hate having any extra money. Steam, the video game distribution platform created by Valve Corporation, provides daily discounts on select games, but its recurring seasonal and holiday sales offer broader discounts for longer periods of time. During a Summer Sale, games can be discounted as much as 90%, though it’s more common to see between 30% and 50% off the usual price. As of the launch, you can currently find deals on games like the popular battle-royale shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds for 33% off and space survival game Empyrion for 50% off. When does the Steam Summer Sale end? The Steam Summer Sale will last until July 5, giving you two full weeks to stock up on any games you need, want, or have a slight interest in buying. Steam Sales are a good opportunity to pick up a few big-budget titles from large video game publishers at a discounted rate, but they’re also a fantastic chance to score several cheaper indie games you may have normally overlooked. Some indie games can sell for less than $1 during Steam Summer Sales, which means you could walk away from an afternoon of shopping with a dozen new games without spending more than $20. Upon launch, Steam’s site already appears to be struggling under the stress of a sudden wave of traffic—so you’re probably going to need as much patience as disposable cash to get these deals.
