Valve has published the official schedule for Steam sales and festivals through the first half of 2027. This release gives gamers a clear roadmap for upcoming discounts and developers a timeline for marketing campaigns. Buyers can now plan their purchasing decisions around specific dates rather than guessing when prices will drop.
Official calendar outlines Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer sale windows
The schedule covers the remainder of 2026 and extends into early 2027. It includes minor sales, storewide seasonal events, and genre-specific festivals. Valve also confirmed the dates for Next Fests, which highlight upcoming indie and mid-tier titles.
Key dates for late 2026 include the Steam Autumn Sale running from October 1 to 8. The Steam Winter Sale follows from December 17 to January 4, 2027. Early 2027 features the Steam Spring Sale from March 18 to 25. The Steam Summer Sale is scheduled for June 24 to July 8, 2027.

The official calendar is now live on the Steam store. Users can refer to these dates to track when specific sales begin and end. This information removes uncertainty from the purchasing cycle for the next six months.
