"Summer sun, something's begun But, oh, oh, the Summer Sale."
...or something like that.
YES, The Steam Summer Sale is alive and kicking. from the 23rd of June until the 7th of July You can pick up some fantastic deals across the Wired family of games. This continues the Wired Summer of Indie Gaming.
This follows hot on the heels of Tin Hearts and The Last Worker demos being a part of the Steam Next Fest. You loved the demos so much that we have extended your chance to play them until Friday the 30th of June.
We also have a couple of more secrets to announce as part of the Summer of Indie gaming, but you will have to wait and see for those.
We all know that June is where the hottest gaming action happens with conventions, E3 (or this year technically 'NotE3') announcements, launches and SO MANY SALES! This year Wired are ensuring that the indie scene parties just as hard with the announcement of the Wired #SummerOfIndieGaming!
