The highly anticipated Steam Summer Sale has officially begun, offering substantial discounts across a vast library of games. The sale, which kicked off on June 25, boasts "deep-ass discounts" on titles spanning nearly every genre.

The annual discount event is exclusive to Valve's PC platform and runs until July 9. While the event is known for its price reductions, it also includes opportunities for players to earn stickers and acquire fresh loot from the Steam Points Shop. These items can be used to customize user profiles and enhance chat messages.

The sale commenced on the same day Grand Theft Auto 6 preorders became available for console players. However, the PC version of GTA 6 is expected to launch at a later date, a strategy Rockstar and Take-Two have employed in the past to maximize sales by potentially "double-dipping" revenue streams. This staggered release has led to discussion among PC gamers regarding their audience status.
