Valve Announces Steam Summer Sale 2024 With Deep Discounts and Surprise Demos

Valve has officially unveiled the Steam Summer Sale 2024, igniting excitement across the PC gaming community with massive discounts, free demos, and limited-time events. Beginning June 27 and running through July 11, this year’s sale promises one of Valve’s most ambitious seasonal promos to date.

As with previous years, thousands of games across all genres are seeing significant markdowns—some slashed by up to 90%. Early highlights include blockbuster hits like *Elden Ring* dipping to 40% off, *Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty* bundled with the base game at 55% off, and *Baldur’s Gate 3*, Game of the Year winner, featuring its first major discount at 30%.

But 2024’s Steam Summer Sale is introducing something new: the “Demo Dive,” a rotating catalog of indie and triple-A game demos that refresh daily. Valve is curating a lineup of unreleased and recently announced titles for players to sample, giving gamers a sneak peek at upcoming hits ahead of their official launch. Notably, demos for *Hollow Knight: Silksong*, *Black Myth: Wukong*, and the much-anticipated indie RPG *Mindsear* are already drawing massive attention.

Valve is also bringing back its fan-favorite Steam Badge event, where users can complete tasks—such as trying demos, buying games, or reviewing purchases—to level up a special Summer Sale 2024 profile badge. Each level unlocks cosmetic rewards and entries into a sweepstakes to win a custom Steam Deck OLED.

The social aspect hasn’t been forgotten either. Limited-time chat stickers, game-themed avatars, and new animated profile backgrounds are available to purchase or earn for free during the event, adding an extra layer of engagement to the sale.

With just two weeks to explore the discounts and demos, players are already clamoring to wishlist titles and fill up their carts. While long-time PC gamers are no strangers to Steam sale madness, 2024’s added focus on demos and player interaction puts a fresh spin on the tradition.
