In July 2024, Steam announced the dates for various sale events and fests for the first half of 2025, and now we have the calendar for the rest of the year. Before we dive into that, Steam is currently hosting the Couch Co-Op Fest from February 10 to February 17, and then we’ll get the Steam Next Fest – February 2025 Edition from February 24 to March 3. The next big sale event is the 2025 Steam Spring Sale from March 13 to March 20. After numerous other fests, including City Builder & Colony Sim, Sokoban, Wargames, and Zombies vs. Vampires, players can look forward to the 2025 Steam Summer Sale from June 26 to July 10.
For the second half of 2025, the Automation Fest will take place from July 14 to July 21. Players can then look forward to the Racing Fest, which runs from July 28 to August 4, while strategy gamers should mark the 4X Fest on their calendars from August 11 to August 18. From August 25 to September 1 will be the Third Person Shooter Fest, and then we’ll have the Political Sim Fest from September 8 to September 15. The 2025 Steam Autumn Sale will happen from September 29 to October 6, which is a different time frame compared to previous Autumn Sales. This is likely to create a bigger gap between the Autumn Sale and the Winter Sale, which will run from December 18 to January 5.
