Summer is officially upon us, and you know what that means: Hot days, hazy nights, biting insects up the wazoo, and a whole bunch of seriously cheap videogames to throw your money at in the 2019 Steam Summer Sale, which is now live.
This year's sale includes the Steam Grand Prix, a racing-themed event that enables players to join a team and contribute "distance points" by completing various quests, like killing someone in Fear the Wolves or hacking a door in Space Hulk: Deathwing. At 10 am PT/1 pm ET each day of the sale, the team with the most points will claim three GP points, followed by two for second place and one for third. Drivers from the top three teams (out of five) will also be selected to receive random items from their Steam wish lists daily and at the end of the race.
Boost points can also be earned by making purchases during the sale, and if you don't have time for all this running around but still want to be involved, a Pit Stop will be held on July 7 that will enable all players to spend any event tokens earned through Steam purchases.
And a few suggestions on solid dealios:
Euro Truck Simulator 2 - $5/£4/€5 (75 percent off)
Life is Strange Complete Season - $3/£2/€3 (85 percent off)
Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition – $2/£2/€2 (90 percent off)
Borderlands 2 – $5/£5/€7.50 (75 percent off, the Euro pricing doesn't seem right but Steam is still struggling—we'll update if it changes)
