Steam Lunar New Year Sale 2019 is now upon us, and though the deals may not be quite as exciting as they were during the Winter sale, Valve has got something different to tide us over this time around.
Special Valve-funded discounts and a curious little point-collecting meta-game serve as reminders that Valve can and do put some soul into the sales, thus making the whole endeavour that much more endearing. Scroll lower for details on how to make use of these special deals!
How Does The Steam Lunar New Year Sale Work?
According to Valve, there are two key features of this year's Lunar New Year Sale. Firstly, if you collect a grand total of $30 (or more) worth of games in your cart, you will also qualify for a special $5 discount that is entirely funded by Valve. For the end-user, there's a sweet little discount, and for the developers, there's no difference, because Valve is footing the bill.
Secondly, buyers can also attain special event points during the Sale, simply by buying games, which can then be redeemed for special $5 instant discount coupons (which are also funded by Valve) or, alternatively, on fancy profiles, badges, and other assorted knick-knacks. Snazzy, right?
When will The Steam Lunar New Year Sale end?
The Steam Lunar New Year Sale has kicked off today, on 4th of February, but down below you'll find a more concrete set of data to better keep track of the deals:
Sale Start Times: February 4, 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST
Sale End Times: February 11, 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST
Whether you've got enough disposable income to spend on even more games following the Holiday season is a wholly different matter, of course, but this sale, too, is bound to have a whole lot of interesting stuff on offer, so keep an eye out.
