This holiday’s upcoming Steam sales are going to be different, and we think you will be happy with the changes.
Valve has revealed in advance that there are two big sales on schedule. This month will have the Black Friday/Exploration sale on November 25, 10 AM PST, to December 1, 10 AM PST. After that, there will be the Holiday sale, from December 22nd 10AM PST, to Jan 4th 10AM PST.
Valve has made arrangements with developers to have only one discount for individual games, to run the length of the sale. They have explained that this will allow developers to get as many sales as possible, and it will also allow them to get the word out on their sales as effectively as possible.
