If the leak is true, bargain hunters this year may have the chance to purchase discounted deals for up to 13 days, instead of the usual 12 days. However, details on what games will be on sale are still being kept under wraps.

While the information that has recently leaked about this year's Steam Summer Sale seems legitimate, members of the gaming community are still advised to take the news with a grain of salt.
The Steam Summer Sale has become a major annual event for PC gamers who are hoping to receive great discounts in purchasing the hottest games of the past several years. Last year's sale, for example, was highly successful, earning $236 million in just over a week, despite the restrictions on what games can be offered that year.
In the 2016 Steam Summer Sale, some of the most popular deals offered major discounts on popular video game franchises such as "The Witcher," "ARK: Survival Evolved" and "Tomb Raider."
As for this year's sale, gamers might be able to pick up video games like "What Remains of Edith Finch" and the "Prey" reboot for a lot cheaper than its regular retail price.
