Gamers patiently waiting for the Steam Summer Sale to start will be pleased to know that it is now underway and will run until July 9th, 2020, at 10am PMT. This annual event is one of the most anticipated sales in the gaming community, offering significant discounts on a wide range of games. In celebration of summer, you can also claim your free animated stickers at Valve’s Steam road trip destinations over the course of the next two weeks. Plus, save an additional $5 when you spend $30 during the sale, or the equivalent in your country, says Valve.
Exclusive Offers and Discounts
The Steam Summer Sale is renowned for its extensive discounts on thousands of games, ranging from indie titles to blockbuster hits. This year is no exception, with massive savings available across various genres. Whether you’re a fan of action, adventure, RPGs, or strategy games, there’s something for everyone. Popular titles like “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,” “Red Dead Redemption 2,” and “Doom Eternal” are expected to see significant price drops, making it the perfect time to expand your gaming library.
In addition to game discounts, the sale also includes deals on downloadable content (DLC), game bundles, and even software. This makes it an excellent opportunity to not only pick up new games but also enhance your existing ones with additional content.
Steam Points and the Points Shop
One of the unique features of this year’s Summer Sale is the introduction of the all-new Points Shop. When you make purchases during the sale, you earn Steam Points, which can be redeemed for various digital items. The Points Shop features dozens of Summer Sale souvenir options for you to collect, including new animated stickers and chat effects, profile backgrounds, mini-profile backgrounds, avatars, avatar frames, and more. These items allow you to personalize your Steam profile and make it stand out in the community.
The Points Shop is here to stay, meaning you can continue to earn and spend points even after the sale ends. This adds an extra layer of engagement and rewards for regular Steam users. Additionally, you can discover hundreds of profile backgrounds and emoticons associated with your favorite games, now available in exchange for Steam Points. This feature not only enhances the user experience but also fosters a sense of community among gamers.
Claim Your Free Animated Stickers
As part of the Summer Sale festivities, Valve is offering free animated stickers that can be claimed at Steam road trip destinations. These stickers are a fun way to celebrate the sale and add a bit of flair to your Steam profile. To claim your stickers, simply visit the designated road trip destinations on Steam over the next two weeks. Each destination offers a unique sticker, so be sure to check back regularly to collect them all.

To maximize your savings during the Steam Summer Sale, consider the following tips:
1. Wishlist: Add games you’re interested in to your Steam wishlist. This way, you’ll receive notifications when they go on sale.
2. Bundles: Look for game bundles, which often offer better value than purchasing individual titles.
