There are currently some ongoing and upcoming minor steam sale events:
There are generally three types of Steam Sale and event.
The first are the Major Steam Sales which take place once a season. These offer discounts on the majority of games on the Steam Platforms, usually with record low prices and great deals. Often, you’ll find big name games reduced to very low prices and reaching new historical low levels. If you’re saving up, this is the best time to spend.
Then there are Steam Fests. These are generally genre-specific, such as Simulator Fest, a celebration of Simulation games, or Fighter fest, targeting the best fighting games on Steam . In these events, discounts will usually be focused on just the games within that genre .
The final type are Next Fests. Next Fests don’t generally have discounts, and instead offer demos of upcoming games still in development. If there are sales, they’re typically on early access games or previous entries in a franchise, rather than the upcoming game.
There are also some publisher sales which are available as publishers and developers put their games on sale.
