So, the Steam Summer Sale might have just had its dates leaked out ahead of time. All thanks to Steamworks users, going against some of the rules that they’re supposed to read before signing up. Oops.

The dates say that the sale will run from June 22 to July 5, and were originally shown off in screenshots to the Steam subreddit by deliteplays and later backed up by fellow user Jelman21. Valve contacted Steamworks developers to let them know so they could prepare deals and bundles ahead of time, and the dates were meant to be confidential. Users were then added to Developer groups after gaining access to alpha and betas of games via Kickstarter and it seems that the ‘confidential’ part was unheard by the users who have leaked the screenshots. Whether this will have consequences is yet unknown.

Other than the dates though, it’s far to say we’re in the dark about the Summer Sale. We can only guess at what games could be discounted and by how much, but until we’re in the thick of it (or Valve themselves give us official information) it’s far to say we just don’t know what to expect.
