You may want to know, does the Steam summer sale change every day? The Steam summer sale is one of the biggest events every year for PC gamers, as the largest platform gets a two-week sale with thousands of huge discounts and its own unique minigame.

The short is answer is no. While some games may end up going on sale later into the Steam summer sale, the prices that are set on day one will remain the same throughout and don't go any lower. This means if you're looking for specific games to add to your library, you can safely purchase them on day one of the sale without risk of missing a better deal. 

It wasn't always like this though, as older Steam sales from before the refund feature was added would have different daily sales and flash deals (pictured above). Most of the games would have sales, but each day a selection of games were given bigger deals that lasted until the daily reset. There was also the outstanding flash sales, which were eight-hour long deals that offered the best prices. During these older sales, you would have to consistently check the new flash sales and daily deals for the games you wanted. 

 

While these older sales often had better prices and deals, the headache of having to look out for the specific games you wanted every day for a whole two weeks could get annoying. The advent of the refund feature was also important for the consumers, so the trade-off is frankly worth it, and you can still check out the best deals in Steam summer sale 2022 for some fantastic discounts on quality games.
