Steam Summer Sale would commence on June 23 and will run for 11 days.

Since the beginning of the year, Steam subscribers have been patiently waiting as to when the company would have another sale. As early as January, posts predicting the summer sale can already be found online. Steam has yet to comment on the recent reports. As of the moment, the dates for the upcoming Steam summer sale remain speculative. However mere days ago leaked dates of the Steam event have made their way online. While the information has yet to be confirmed, they have been sourced from trusted industry insiders.

VG247 came across an image posted on Reddit revealing that the Steam Summer Sale would commence in a little over a month. According to MrFreemanBBQ, the redditor who posted the picture, the event would kick off on June 23 at 9:45 am pacific.

"Event: Summer Sale 2016 discount Approvals. Please note that this information is confidential. Do not post event details on the Steam Community or your own site(s) until the sale has officially begun. The Summer Sale 2016 discount runs from 23 June @ 945am Pacific to 4 July 2016 @ 1000 am Pacific," read the MrFreemanBBQ's post, as reported by vg247.

Popular Redditor MrFreemanBBQ is relatively trusted source especially considering how he accurately published leaked dates for last year's summer sale. Nevertheless, the June 23 start date of the sale seem to have been verified by another source.

Steam Database tweeted about the start of Steam Summer Sale around the same time MrFreemanBBQ posted the leaked image he obtained. Like MrFreemanBBQ, Steam Database, as reported by PC World, revealed that the event would be happening on June 23 and would run for two weeks.

"Since "confidential" means nothing to certain Steamworks developers, Steam Summer Sale will start on June 23 and will last two weeks," read Steam Database's recent tweet.

With only a little over a month of waiting left, avid gamers from across the globe are undoubtedly excited about Steam's summer event. However, most of Steam's subscribers are hopeful that the company would once again offer daily sales and flash sales during the much awaited markdown occasion.
