If there is a ray of sunshine in this doom and gloom of the year 2020 for us PC gamers, it’s the Steam Summer Sale! The sale returns this year with some fantastic discounts as well as a permanent Points Shop where you can buy cosmetic items for your profile and chat like avatars, stickers, effects, emoticons, community content awards, and backgrounds- both static and animated. Steam is also letting you claim one sticker and trading card for free every day of the sale. And if you are in search for that elusive item that gives you bragging rights, you can go for the oh-so-shiny 30-day limited edition Summer Golden Profile.
Themed around an exciting road trip special, the Steam Summer Sale sale will let buyers save $5 for every $30 they spend – or equivalent in their country. For example, Indian gamers will save INR 120 on a purchase of INR 700!
