Steam Summer Sale 2020: the best games to take advantage of
It is at that time of year that Steam users can save a lot of money on PC games: Steam Summer Sale 2020 launched on Thursday, June 25 and will last two weeks until July 9. As always, literally thousands of games are experiencing huge discounts on the Steam Sale, which covers almost every genre, from action-adventure and first-person shooter to horror and visual novel. You’ll find deals on AAA games like Rainbow Six Siege, Grand Theft Auto V, Borderlands 3, and Red Dead Redemption 2 included alongside independent hits like Disco Elysium, A Plague Tale: Innocence, and Outer Wilds. Steam Summer Sale is always a good time to enjoy any game that has been on your wish list, but it is also a good opportunity to discover new games that will keep you busy this summer. Until the next big Steam sale, which probably won’t be for several months, this is the best time to get new games on the platform.
This year’s Steam Summer Sale features a summer travel theme and allows you to earn interchangeable cards while shopping, which can then be created in the Summer Travel Badge. On top of that, you’ll get $ 5 off any purchase of $ 30 or more, and you can claim a free sticker every day of sale. Steam also launched a new point store that will be available year-round, allowing you to earn points while you shop. Those points can be spent on special items or to give rewards to certain user reviews.
To help you find new games that are really worth your money in this year’s Steam Summer Sale, we’ve selected some of the best Steam games currently for sale that we wholeheartedly recommend. Here are the GameSpot picks for Steam Summer Sale 2020. (Plus, check out our recommendations for the best cheap games under $ 10 and the best PC exclusives for sale.)
