Steam hosts huge cleaning sales. The Winter sales, the Lunar Sales (which was held this year in the month of February), Halloween Sales, Steam Black Friday or Autumn Sales, the Summer and Spring Sales. Valve hasn’t held a Spring Sale for the year 2019 and 2020. In 2021, the same has been officially released as Open World Sale.
When Will The Steam Spring Sale Happen?
The dates for Steam Sales are supposed to be one of the top secrets of Valve. But the gaming community has never once failed to know the exact the dates of the events – and there are not a lot of times we’ve been wrong. Steam shares the details of the Sales with all its partners and developers. The main reason why the community isn’t made aware of the dates, is because on the contrary they would just wait for the sales to happen instead of buying the games at the real MRP. The Spring Cleaning Sale, also known as the Steam Open World Sale will be from May 27 – 31, 2021 at 10am PDT (Pacific Daylight Time), which is 10:30PM IST (Indian Standard Time). Games with Open-World explorations are going to be under the spotlight. After skipping this specific sale for 2 years, Valve has renamed under a new theme. Valve called the sale a “celebration of infinite exploration.” In the sales, almost all titles are on sale, even if the discounted price is not very different than the actual price. Plenty of Triple A titles are on sale – but not the new or bestselling titles. Discounts can range anywhere from ten percent to ninety percent. The discounts, at first, used to be unstable on a day-to-day basis but now it is more steady these days. So the users don’t have to wait out to see if the price is discounted further.

Is There Any Way To Know Which Games Will Be Discounted in the Steam Spring Sale?
Yes, but it is not foolproof. You can go the game, individually, and find out whether or not it has been discounted in the previous sales. This can be known by taking a look at the price history. If the said game has had it’s price dropped on all the previous huge Steam sales, there is a big chance it will be discounted again. The amount it will discounted at is variable. This is because the game developers themselves set the price drop and it is completely arbritary. To locate the price history: Every app page has a price graph under the price table. Search the game, and click on it. If the game is not free it will have a prices tab. The price tab will be where you can see the price history. Also Read: Genshin Impact: Everything About 1.7 Update
