Information

A beautiful countdown timer which shows the remaining estimated time until the next big Steam Sale.

whenisthenextsteamsale.com tracks Holiday Sale, Summer Sale, Halloween Sale and the Autumn Sale.

If you quickly want to find out how long it takes for a new big sale to start, a quick glance at this page is all you need.

Background images are randomly picked every time you visit to give you that little bit of variety.

How does it work?

Valve never announces Steam sale dates up front, but Steam sales return every year in a relatively stable frequency.

Based on data from the last few years, the upcoming sale dates are predicted.

These predictions are a combination of the following factors:

Dates and months in which a sales started

Which day of the week a sale usually starts

How long a sale usually lasts

What dates/events a sale generally hits

Times are based on the East Pacific time zone

Furthermore the dates are updated every now and then when there is more information in recent news.

As you can see there are multiple sources to find out when a sale will most likely start.

What about accuracy?

This is a fan-based site which will try its best to help you prepare for the upcoming Steam sales.

Please keep in mind that Valve and Steam are not involved in the creation of this countdown timer.

In the end the dates provided by this site are basically a guess, even though it's an educated one.

This means that it's more likely that a sale will start at a different time than the timer says, or maybe even not start at all.



A small label will inform you whether the date has been confirmed or not.

You can safely assume that a countdown with a confirmed label will match with the Steam sale time.

Otherwise it's a good idea to keep in mind that dates can deviate a few days.
