Uncle Gabe’s game store is still the number one platform for PC gamers. And what else do players love? Big discounts! Today, the CS.MONEY Blog will tell you about all the known Steam sales for 2025.
There are no sales for CS2 skins on Steam, but you can find low prices and great deals on the CS.MONEY Market!
What Types of Sales Does Steam Have?
There are three types of events in Steam:
- Seasonal Sales – The most important time for all gamers, as games can be heavily discounted for one or two weeks.
- Thematic Events (Fests) – Week-long events that focus on specific genres. For example, right now, there’s a Local Co-Op Festival.
- Next Fest – This is more about offering a lot of demos and the chance to fall in love with early-access games rather than discounts.

When is the next Steam Sale?
The next big Steam sale is scheduled for March 13-20. This will be the Spring Sale, during which we expect many discounts on major games.
How Long Do Steam Sales Last?
Typically, Steam sales last from one to two weeks, depending on the event. Major sales usually last two weeks or even more, while thematic fests are generally limited to one week.
Tips for Buying Games During Steam Sales
To avoid getting lost in the sea of offers, here are a few simple tips:
- Use your wishlist in advance. This way, you can filter out interesting games ahead of time and won’t have to scroll through dozens of pages on Steam.
- Check if the game is part of a bundle. Bundles often offer much better value, including DLC packs that expand gameplay.
- Before big sales, skin prices often drop as everyone rushes to sell skins to buy games. Keep this in mind and top up your balance ahead of time.
Steam sales seriously promote games, and thanks to them, more people learn about great titles. We wish you the best of luck during the sale, and remember the golden rule of gaming: have fun!
