Spring doesn't officially begin until tomorrow, March 20, and as a Canadian let me digress for a moment and say that's a lie. The calendar might have "spring!" written on that date, but oh no: The icy grip of winter remains tight on our throat, and the last gasps of the dying season still blows frigid winds in our face. Valve doesn't care about any of that, though, and probably neither do you, because the 2026 Steam Spring Sale is live!
A bit of trivia to start things off: Did you know that in the very long history of Steam sales, this is only the fourth Steam Spring Sale ever? Until a few years ago, Steam had three big seasonal sales—summer, fall, and winter—but spring was traditionally left with themed sales, or the "Spring Cleaning Event" for a number of years. It wasn't until 2022 that Valve said, 'Hey hey hey—why are there four seasons but only three seasonal sales?'
