Steam Summer 2026 Sale runs until July 9 at 10 a.m. PT

Steam Summer 2026 Sale is live and runs until July 9 at 10 a.m. PT. The r/Games post links the Steam store and specials page and gives the key timing players need before sorting through wishlist discounts. For PC buyers, the practical workflow is checking Steam, then comparing the displayed discount with SteamDB or deal trackers.

One Reddit comment listed several SteamDB historical-low candidates, including Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Slay the Princess — The Pristine Cut, Another Crab's Treasure, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, The Alters, Blood West, Sins of a Solar Empire II, INDIKA, Turbo Overkill, Aliens: Dark Descent, System Shock, Rain World, and Assassin's Creed Shadows.

The sale is a regular Steam event rather than a new platform launch, but the player-facing detail is concrete: discounts remain available until July 9 at 10 a.m. PT, and final prices depend on regional pricing, bundles, DLC ownership, and whether a game is actually at a new low. That makes external price history useful before buying from a wishlist.

The Reddit thread reflected that behavior. Users traded short lists of notable lows and also warned that not every wishlist item was at its best Steam price. The reaction was less about volume and more about checking actual value: wait for the store to settle, compare against price history, and buy only where the discount is meaningful.
