When Steam Summer Sale 2020 ends:

Steam Summer Sale 2020 kicked off Thursday, June 25, and will run until July 9, ending at 10 PM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST.

Steam Summer Sale 2020's best deals:

If you're on a tight budget this summer, you can find some incredible games for cheap in the Steam Summer Sale. Some of them are just a few bucks. Games like Celeste, Undertale, Darkest Dungeon, and Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice will all cost you less than $10 right now, and they're absolutely worth playing.

Most multi-platform games make their way onto Steam at some point, but there are still plenty of games that launch on PC and don't get ported to other platforms right away. For that reason, it's worth paying extra attention to PC exclusives during Steam Summer Sale, as you're likely to find the best prices on these games that you'll find in a long time.

Summer Sale 2020 Point Shop:

Steam has launched the Points Shop alongside the Summer Sale, which lets you earn points as you shop. You'll earn 100 points for every dollar you spend, whether that's on a game, DLC, application, soundtrack, or in-game items. Those points can then be redeemed for Profile or Chat items, including animated avatars, frames, backgrounds, and badges.

You can also redeem your points to get a background or emoticon for games you already own, including those that were previously associated with trading cards. Another new feature: Community Awards, which let you reward reviews or other user-generated content that you find particularly insightful, heartwarming, or notable in some other way. There are also badges you can earn by rewarding others' content.

Remember!! The Steam Summer Sale 2020 ends on July 9.
