AUGUST 21: A cyber game player competes in a game of "Warcraft III" during a cyber game competition at the China Korea Cyber Game 2005 (CKCG 2005) on August 21, 2005 in Beijing, China. Some 68 cyber game players, including both professional and non-professional gamers from China and South Korea, participated in the four-day game tournament over three different online games, which began August 19. The three games played were "Star Craft", a sci-fi strategic simulation game by U.S. based Blizzard Entertainment, "War Craft III" a fantasy strategic simulation game also by Blizzard Entertainment, and "Counter-Strike", a team-based online action game by Valve. A combined prize of 85 million won (USD 85,000) will be offered for the winners of the event.(Photo : Photo by Cancan Chu/Getty Images)Online gamers are waiting and buzzing about steep discounts on various games offered by Valve.
As of writing this article, no confirmation yet announced about the exact date of game discount from Valve. However, rumor suggests that it will run from June 23 to July 4.
The speculation started when a redditor under the name of MMrFreemanBBQ posted a screenshot, which is believed to be a screenshot of Valve"s planned date for 2016. However, the speculation seems true as Paypal UK announced on Twitter that Steam Games sale will start on June 23.
It looks like MrFreemanBBQ predicted the Steam Summer Sale by Valve because Paypal announced the starting date on June 16. As online users continue talking about sale, Valve did not release a statement to prevent games list predictions.
Following the sale rumor, the list of Playstation Plus: Free Games surfaced online. The free games list includes "Everybody"s Gone to the Rapture," "Watch Dogs," "Resident Evil HD Remaster," "Infamous Second Son," and "The Evil Within."
Valve requested confidentiality from publishers when it comes gaming discounts, Kit Gurureported, however, after a couple of years, the release of the announcement has become earlier. It seems Valve has nothing to do when it comes to announcing Steam games discount as, apparently, the publishers and even are allowed to sort out their own discounts and store pages.
Meanwhile, owners of the Hard Reset Redux and Shadow Warrior may rejoice as the remastered version of cyberpunk FPS Hard Reset is now available on Steam, and they can get it at a steep discount, Game Spotreported. Hard Reset Redux debuted on Steam on June 6 for $20 for a limited time, so it means anyone can get it for 10% off, or a gamer can get the remastered version for $18.
For those who own the original version of Hard Reset and/or another one of developer Flying Wild Hog"s games, 2013"s Shadow Warrior, the discount jumps up to 85 percent, thus bringing Redux"s price down to just $3.
