The Steam Summer Sale 2025 is on, and I'm ready to save a lot of money on my favorite games.

For anyone who play games on PC, the most important thing about summer is the Steam Summer Sale. It's a time when our wishlists get a lot of use and our wallets get ready for the inevitable, wonderful onslaught of hundreds of cheap games. This year, I'm really looking forward to the Steam Summer Sale 2025. It's going to be one of the biggest sales ever, with not only the customary huge discounts but also new ways for people all over the world to get involved.

Accessibility is a big aspect of the PC gaming world, and sales like this one are a big part of that. We may expect prices to drop by 15% to a startling 90% on everything from brand new AAA games to old favorites. It's a great opportunity for both experienced players and newcomers to add to their libraries without spending a lot of money. I've been looking forward to this event for a long time, and I know many of you have too.

Put it on your calendar: The dates for the Steam Summer Sale 2025 are set.

Gamers will be happy to hear that Valve is being more open about sale dates.

We no longer have to predict when Valve will have its big seasonal sales. I really like that the organization is now much more open about things, like letting people know about dates well in advance. This means we can plan what we buy and keep track of our gaming spending. The official start of the Steam Summer Sale 2025 was on June 26. It will go until July 10, giving us two full weeks to take advantage of the offers.

This openness goes beyond only the main events that happen every season. Valve has also announced dates for a number of other themed festivals throughout the year, each one concentrating on a different genre, such as automation, racing, or horror. This means that there will always be new games that fit our tastes, showing that Steam is continually trying to keep us interested and our game library increasing.

Sony's Big Move: PC Gamers Can Now Easily Access PlayStation Games

Regional unblocking gives players a lot of new options.

Sony's recent move to lift regional limitations on several of its key PlayStation PC ports is one of the most important things that has happened in the run-up to this year's Summer Sale. For millions of players in more than 100 countries who couldn't buy or play these games on Steam before, this is a game-changer. I was very happy to hear this news because it implies that more people can now play some really great games.

This change was made after a lot of feedback from the community, especially after the controversial demand for PlayStation Network accounts for games like Helldivers 2. You can now easily find games like Helldivers 2, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, God of War Ragnarok, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2. There are still certain restrictions on titles like Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut and Until Dawn, but this is a big step forward for making PC gaming more accessible around the world. Because these titles were previously limited, I expect to see a huge jump in sales. This sale will be quite special.

My Top Predictions for Big Discounts during the 2025 Steam Summer Sale

There are so many games to choose from that it might be hard to determine where to invest your money. Based on recent trends, publisher events, and my own personal wishes, these are some of the games I'm keeping a careful eye on for big price decreases during this Summer Sale:

Resident Evil 4 Remake Is About to Get a Big Price Cut

Capcom has been busy with deals, and because they just had a Capcom Spotlight on June 26, it makes perfect sense for Resident Evil 4 Remake to be on sale for a long time. It had a publisher sale earlier in June, but I think the Summer Sale will be much better. The original is a work of art, and the remake does it justice. If you haven't played it yet, now is the time.

Monster Hunter Wilds Needs a Big Price Cut to Get New Players

Monster Hunter Wilds came out in February, but it hasn't gotten a big discount on Steam yet. A big price drop during the Summer Sale could be just what Capcom needs to get new players and generate momentum, especially since the game is getting some bad reviews for its content and performance.

Cyberpunk 2077 Will Probably Get Its Biggest Discount Yet

With patches like 2.3 and a sequel called Project Orion in the pipeline, CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 is a great contender for a big discount. Getting new gamers into Night City now makes perfect sense to get people excited about the future of the franchise. I'm very sure this one will be one of the best deals of the sale.

Death Stranding Director's Cut Is A Chance To Get Ready For The Next Game

Death Stranding Director's Cut is already on sale, but I think the Summer Sale will have an even better deal because Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is already available on PS5. Now is the best time for PC gamers to enter Sam Porter Bridges' unique world before the next chapter comes out on their platform.

The price of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is about to drop much further.

On September 4, 2025, a new DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be out. This means that the Summer Sale is the best time to lower the price even more than the 20% that was offered in the Spring Sale. I want a big discount to go on Indy and his first-person excursions.

After its PC release, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is a must-have.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is in a great place for a sale right now because it came out on PC in April and its HBO series just ended. A lot of people will want to see what happens next in Ellie and Abby's narrative, and a sale makes it very easy to do so. I really want to see this one at a good price.

This time around, Baldur's Gate 3 will probably have a bigger sale.

Baldur's Gate 3 is having its second Steam Summer Sale, and I would be amazed if the discount isn't bigger than the 20% it got last year. There is no doubt that this is one of the best RPGs of the last several years, with an amazing number of players at the same time. This is your chance to dive into Faerûn if you haven't before.

Give Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 More Love With a Big Sale

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is a great game that doesn't get enough credit for its campaign and gameplay. It has gone on sale before, but I'm hoping for a bigger one this time to get more people into its violent, action-packed environment.

The first summer sale for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is here.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is on sale for the first time during the Steam Summer Sale. It was on sale for a respectable 20% off during Steam's Fishing Fest. It would surprise me if it wasn't included in the discounts, which would let you explore its historically accurate open world.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Ready for Its First Discount on Steam

Assassin's Creed Shadows looks amazing, but it hasn't been on sale on Steam yet. The Summer Sale is a great time for Ubisoft to lower prices, which could bring in more players. Some people think the gameplay is boring, but aficionados of the franchise will still have a wonderful time.

A first-time buyer should definitely consider Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

The full version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is ready for players since it was out on PC in January and there are no plans for DLC. I haven't seen a sale on Steam for it yet, so it would be strange if it missed one of Steam's largest sales.

The first official discount for Black Myth: Wukong is here!

Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most anticipated action RPGs, and this sale marks the first time it has ever officially gone on sale. A 20% discount might not seem like a big deal for a new AAA title, but it's a big deal for a game that hasn't had any price cuts before. I'm excited to see how many people play this beautiful game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 and Elden Ring will probably get regular seasonal discounts.

Red Dead Redemption 2 and Elden Ring are two games that are always good candidates for seasonal reductions. It's a great moment for new players to try out the base game now that Elden Ring's Nightreign equivalent has come out. These titles always offer great value, even when they are on sale.

Other Steam events to look forward to after the Summer Sale

The Summer Sale is definitely the main event right now, but Valve has already made plans for more interesting things to happen in 2025. After the Summer Sale, we may look forward to the Automation Fest in July. In August, there will be the Racing Fest, the 4X Fest, and the Third Person Shooter Fest. The Political Sim Fest and the much-anticipated Autumn Sale are both coming up in September. In December, we'll have the big Winter Sale, as well as the October Next Fest, Steam Scream Fest 4, Animal Fest, and Sports Fest. This means that there will still be many chances to get more games even after the Summer Sale is over.

It looks like the Steam Summer Sale 2025 will be one to remember. I think this year's event is more interesting and open to everyone than ever before, thanks to Valve's open schedule and Sony's wider regional access. Now is the best time to get rid of your wishlist, find new favorites, and get into the amazing world of PC gaming. Now is the time to start constructing your ideal collection!
