Best Steam Summer Sale 2022 PC Game Deals – CNET [CNET]
Valve’s Steam online store is having its annual Summer Sale, which runs from June 23 to July 7, 2022. Yes, Steam has many other sales during the year, but this is one of the bigger ones.
With new GPU prices finally cooling off and the introduction of exciting new PC hardware like the excellent handheld Steam Deck, PC gaming is in a sweet spot right now.
I’ve collected a handful of what I think are noteworthy deals. All should be available for the entire length of the sale, although you’d be wise to comparison shop (using a tool like CheapShark.com) to see if other online PC game shops are offering even lower prices.
The deals range from evergreen classics like The Sims 4 (which, yes, still has a big audience) to newer games like New World or Chivalry 2, although most are what you’d call midlist games from the past few years. This list is focused on games that I think are both interesting and have fairly deep discounts. I’ll be crowdsourcing additional picks from my colleagues in future updates.
