Valve has announced the full roster of Steam sale dates and Next Fests for the second half of 2025, and it's made one big change: This year's Steam Autumn Sale is going to kick off nearly two full months earlier than it has in past years.
In practical terms, the advance list of Steam sale dates is mostly useful for developers, so they can plan out how they want to take part in all the various events. But it's also of interest to the public at large, because while Steam sales may not be the thrilling special events they were in days gone by, they're still great opportunities to save big piles of money.
