Steam DB dataminer Pavel Djundik originally said that the information is “generally trustworthy, but not fully confirmed.” Djundik later says it’s confirmed, though doesn’t specify how or by whom. Another person on Twitter seems to have come up with the same dates just beforehand, so it seems reasonably likely they’re both correct. Either way, tradition dictates that Steam will have a big blowout summer sale as it does every year and odds are it will be sometime in June. The 25th seems as nice a day as any to listlessly scroll through the Steam catalog wondering which game will worm its way into my ever-expanding backlog. We do know for sure that Valve will be hosting another Steam Game Festival from June 9 through June 14. You’ll be able to play “time-limited demos or short playable experiences” for upcoming games and all that. Seems like a great event to have right before holding a big sale. Whet the appetite and all.
