About WhenIsTheNextSale

This site answers one question — "when is the next sale?" — for every major gaming and retail platform, with authoritative dates, live countdowns and the historical record to back them up. No deal spam, no affiliate pressure, no dark patterns: you land, you see the date, you leave with your answer.

Who maintains this

WhenIsTheNextSale.com is an independent, editorially maintained database of sale events. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the platforms it tracks. It began as a single Steam countdown page and grew into a tracker for ten platforms and their recurring flagship sales.

Editorial process

• Sources of truth. Official platform announcements, storefront banners, press releases and verified retailer communications. Every confirmed sale stores a link to its source, shown on the sale's page.
• Honest confidence labels. Every date is labelled Confirmed, Estimated (predicted from the sale's historical pattern — for example, the Steam Summer Sale reliably starts the last Thursday of June) or Rumored (credible leak, clearly flagged).
• Update cadence. Every upcoming sale is reviewed at least weekly, and same-day when a platform announces official dates. After a sale ends, we verify the end date and lock the record as historical data.
• Timezone discipline. Dates are stored in UTC with each sale's official timezone on record. Pages show the official start time and, with JavaScript enabled, your local time too.

Corrections

Accuracy is the entire product, so corrections get priority. If a date is wrong or a sale is missing, email hi@whenisthenextsale.com with a link to the official source — updates usually land within a day, and material corrections are noted on the affected page.

Why trust the estimates?

Because they're shown next to their track record. Every sale page lists each past occurrence, so you can see the pattern an estimate is built on — and estimates are replaced with confirmed dates (and a source link) the moment a platform announces.
