It’s ridiculously hot everywhere, right? The kind of heat where you feel like you’re wading through soup or something. Anyway, while you’re sitting there fanning yourself with whatever’s handy, Steam’s gone and cranked the temperature up with their legendary Summer Sale. Yep, it’s that time of year again.
So here’s the thing – Thursday, June 26, mark it on your calendars. At exactly 10 a.m. if you’re on the West Coast (1 p.m. for those on the East Coast), the madness kicks off and it’s like a virtual shopping spree with awesome discounts that last until July 10. Two entire weeks of unbridled game-buying frenzy! Valve’s even rolled out an official trailer to announce this whole shindig. And oh boy, is it a thing… it’s like they took the Fresh Prince’s “Summertime” and kinda squashed it into a cringy parody. “An Ode to Steam Summer Sale” performed by Steam Lady – whoever that is. It’s… well, it’s something.
But hang on, let’s talk about what really matters: the games. The trailer gives you just a taste, showing off stuff like Balatro, Death Stranding (which if you haven’t played yet, why?), Pico Park 2, Fox Hole, Lethal Company, and others. I mean, those are just the tip of the digital iceberg, if you ask me.
If watching trailers is your thing, sure, go ahead and check out the sizzle reel. But if you’re like me and need to see everything because, well, FOMO, there’s a full lineup out there. If you’re feeling brave and your wallet can handle it, sift through Steam’s endless discounts. Seriously, it’s like a goldmine. Or is it a black hole for your bank account? Either way, happy hunting!
