Schedule for all Steam Sales and Fests in 2023 HAS BEEN leaked on reddit

In an email sent to Steam developers and publishers, Valve revealed the schedule for all upcoming Steam sales and festivals for this year.

A Reddit user on the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit leaked this information, which reveals the following schedule:

Schedule:

Mystery Fest: February 20 - 27

• Puzzle Fest: April 24 - May 1

• Spring Sale: March 16 - 23 (major seasonal sale)

• Sports Fest: May 15 - 22

• Next Fest: June 19 - 26

• Summer Sale: June 29 - July 13 (major seasonal sale)

• Stealth Fest: July 24 - 31

• Visual Novel Fest: August 7 - 14

• Strategy Fest: August 28 - September 4

• SHMUP Fest: September 25 - October 2

• Next Fest: October 9 - 16

• Return of Steam Scream Fest (Halloween): October 26 - November 2 (additional details to come)

• Autumn Sale: November 21 - 28 (major seasonal sale)

• Winter Sale: December 21 - January 4, 2024 (major seasonal sale)

The schedule includes traditional and seasonal sales such as the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter sales, as well as themed fests such as the currently running Mystery Fest, A Sports Fest, and others.

These festivals will last about a week and will include demos and discounts related to games in their respective themes.

Spring sale

The email has sparked quite some hype among redditors,(not so much among their wallets) who are especially excited about the Spring Sale, which bridges the gap between the Lunar New Year Sale and the Summer Sale, as this period has traditionally been relatively empty in comparison to the insanely crowded autumn and winter schedule.

Start planning

With the release of the schedule, gamers can now plan their purchases ahead of time to take advantage of the various sales and festivals that will take place throughout the year. It's time to start freeing up some space on those hard drives and prepare your wallet!
