Steam Summer Sale 2013 Kicks Off With Steep Game Discounts
Steam today kicked off its annual summer sale, which will provide deep discounts on popular games until July 22.
The summer sale from Steam, Valve's online game retailer, will offer three options for gamers: daily deals, flash sales, and community's choice.
Daily deals will provide discounts on specific games for 24 hours. Now listed on Steam's website is Bioshock Infinite for $29.99, down from $59.99, complete with trading cards. Defiance also gets a 66 percent discount, from $39.99 to $13.59, and Left for Dead 2 is 75 percent off at $4.99.
For the next 23 hours, Steam will also offer discounts on Endless Space, Mars: War Logs, Hotline Miami, Scribblenauts Unlimited, Call of Juarez Gunslinger, Toki Tori 2+, and Don't Starve.
The Steam Summer Sale also features shorter, eight-hour sales. Available now are Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition for $8.99 (down from $29.99), The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition for $35.99 (down from $59.99), Grid 2 for $29.99 (usually $49.99), and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for $5.09 (down from $14.99).
Are there any titles you want to buy, but don't see on sale? That's where the 'Community's Choice' section comes in. Every eight hours, Steam will offer up three games and ask players which one they want to get the discount. In the latest round, gamers have a choice between a 40-66 percent price cut on Dishonored, Borderlands 2, or Far Cry 3.
For other titles, Steam users can add games to their wishlists and get notifications when that game goes on sale.
