14 DAY TRIAL // The latest Steam Summer sale is a pretty massive one, and it's very difficult to keep track of everything that's promoted and see how long the discounts will last. This is where the excellent SteamDB sales tracker comes into play.
When Valve's summer sale hits the Internet, hundreds of games are discounted, and that's not an exaggeration. A large part of the catalog now benefits from various discounts, but unless you're looking for a specific title, it's pretty difficult to get everything in just one sweep.
For gamers who need some help in this regard, SteamDB is a very useful and powerful tool that can be used to tackle all of these sales.
The SteamDB sales tracker does have a few limitations, though. For example, you can't select to see only titles for a particular platform, but other features make up for it. Users can sort the games by price, by discount, and by the time left in the promotion. The information is also segregated by Daily Deals, Franchise (Civilization, GTA, and so on), Default (deals that extend for the duration of the summer sale), Special Promotion, and Weeklong Deals.
SteamDB sales tracker is good all year round
The SteamDB sales tracker is excellent during massive sales like the one that's just taking place, but it can be used at any time of the year. You might be surprised to see that a lot of games are usually discounted throughout the year, but there are so many titles on Steam that many promotions go unnoticed.
To make things even more interesting, SteamDB also has a hand extension that adds an entry in the Steam store for the SteamDB page for each entry, and that can be extremely helpful sometimes.
The Steam Summer sale is scheduled to end on June 18, so until then, Linux users will probably have the opportunity to get all of their favorite games.
