Following the hugely popular Steam Summer Sale, the platform is launching SimFest – a festival dedicated to offering discounts on simulation-based video games
Following the grand summer extravaganza, more Steam sales are on the horizon, with simulation games taking centre stage in this year’s SimFest, promising a significant wave of discounts.
The Steam summer sale has wrapped up (though we wouldn’t have minded if it took this scorching heat with it), leaving many gamers rather chuffed. This legendary sale is an annual highlight for PC players, who flock to the platform to discover that most of their wishlist has been heavily discounted, providing them with the opportunity to delve into the backlog of games they’ve yet to explore.
PC gamers have always enjoyed the best prices (making the debate between Nintendo Switch 2 or Steam Deck a tad easier for many, even if they’ve invested thousands in assembling a massive gaming rig), and Steam’s deals play a significant role in this, year after year. Major AAA games saw substantial price cuts, but it’s worth remembering that the Steam summer sale also offered huge indie deals, providing massive discounts on the best games you’ve never played.
However, the sale has now ended, but there’s more in store if you’re a fan of simulator games.
A new major sale is just around the corner, poised to offer a plethora of fantastic discounts on games that PC players tend to favour, meaning your bargain hunting isn’t over just yet. We wouldn’t want to be your bank account at this moment.
