Here’s everything you need to know about 2023’s Steam Summer Sale.

Instead of launching at the same time all over the world, it will begin at 6pm local time.
Your local time is not connected to your IP address.
Instead, it is based on the billing address on your chosen payment method.
This means it is much harder to change your location if you are trying to access the sale early.

What games will be available in 2023’s Steam Summer Sale?
Steam’s Summer Sales usually contain a mix of recent and older but still popular games.
There is a large variance in discounts, though older games tend to have the bigger price cuts.
In previous years we’ve seen bargains of up to 95% off, and there are often games that are given away.
Expect to see discounts on a huge number of titles, with very low prices on classic games.
