When the Summer Sale exactly ends?

Open
DaveQB

Steam's homepage says June 11-21 but in more than one place I read June 22th, even the exact hour it ends, 10 am Pacific which should correspond to 7 pm in my timezone (UTC+1 Italy Germany France etc). Also all games pages say June 22.

Just to know when to keep ready to buy - I'm first waiting the various special sales that rotate every 12-24 hours, in case games I'm interested in get further discounts, before going for whatever else I decided to buy regardless.

There will be 1-2 days of the Encore Sale after the sale ends.

This confuses me further. Should I buy today then? Or do you mean that after 10 a.m. of June 22 the Encore Sale will take place?

The Encore will take place from the 21st to the 22nd of June. To have the exact moment the sale ends, check the date written in the monster summer cards description. (mine's written for France, I don't know which timezone would help you)

Might not be true, the last sale had 2 day long encore iirc.

True, even the "leak" said that there would be 2 days of Encore. It may be so!

I played that game only a couple hours at best because I don't have time to dedicate to it, but the very few cards it dropped in my inventory say "Valid until 6/22/2015, 7:00:00 PM", so this clears my doubt. Thanks!

I'm in Italy, so the sale should end the exact same time for us.

Encore Sale will start after the Summer Sale has ended, which is 21st or 22nd. I believe it will only have the most popular sales in it.

Does anyone know if the encore will have further reduced prices? Or the same as the sale?

Encore is a selection of what Steam says were the most popular daily deals, and they're brought back. So if you regretted missing something on a daily you might get another chance at it. It's the same price as when they were on a daily.

If the game wasn't on a daily deal etc. then it stays the price it currently is.

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't want to have bought games and then they were reduced more!

Nope.. Encore sale days are included in the range of days for the sale.. so starting tomorrow it will be 2 Encore days and all deals will disappear on the 22nd at 10am PST.

I think the sales officially end at 1 EST 10 PST on Monday.

I think Monday at 10 AM Pacific too but don't quote me on it! It's when the cards expire, and like you said it's what it says on the store pages.

Sunday will be encore day. Maybe Saturday as well? I haven't been following exactly how the monster game works, but I can't see mention of tommorow's unlocks, would they normally be up by now? It also says the current unlocked deals are running for 2 days instead of 1 - again not sure if that's any different, I just assumed they were 24 hour things but don't actually know. If there are no more Monster unlocks then I'm guessing 2 days of encore starting tomorrow (Saturday).

well, it seems that there's no unlockable deals from the monster game today, so I'm guessing the next round of daily deals are for the encore.

Figured so. I was waiting for a Star Wars franchise sale (the page is up, but no deals yet http://store.steampowered.com/sale/star-wars/ ), but it seems there will be none.

You can cross your fingers and hope that it would be part of a fresh batch of 15 new Flash Sales in 15 mins :P
If there is such a new batch :\

I'm assuming encore starts tomorrow since there's no more deals to be unlocked from the game.

Today was the last daily deal offer. Then starts the encore. Sale will end on 22 June at 19:00 GMT +1 or whatever your time zone is, some offers may remain for another 24h even after official end, but that's it.

Thanks for all the replies. As you said, the Encore sale has just started, and now the pages of every discounted game have a 48-hour countdown. So no further Flash Sales too? Time to buy the rest then...

Aye.

Lots of good games were on sale, but many never showed up. Crawl and UnderRail never went on sale at all. P

Ikaruga still didn't go -75%. I'm reminded of how it got screwed in voting last year.
