All sales and fests coming to Steam in first six months of 2025

If you’re a PC gamer, then there’s no doubt that you have Steam installed and a hefty library filled with titles to play at a moment’s notice. Steam is well known for its periodical sales and events, but they can sometimes sneak up on you without any warning if you’re not careful. 

These special events on Steam can be split into three dis🔥tinct types:

• Seasonal sales: A period during which any game could become available at a discounted price.
• Fests: Themed sales events during which games of a certain type are available at a discounted price.
• Next Fest: Focuses on games that are not yet released, with a lot of demos becoming available to play and opportunities to connect with developers.

These events usually last for seven days each, with many occurring back to back with no break. It’s always worth keeping an eye on upcoming games from y🤪our favorite developers or publishers, as they can 🔥often get on board with these events and release new updates to coincide with them, or otherwise release demos during a Next Fest event.

With so many different types of events spread throughout the year, it can be hard to keep track. Don’t worry, here’s the rundown of every event happening on Steam in the first six months of 2025 so you can mark anyౠ that interest you on your calendar.
