Steam’s Spring Cleaning event isn’t your typical sale. Instead, it’s an event that encourages you to dust off the games sitting in your shame pile and take them for a spin. As you play, you’ll unlock new badges and Steam XP. Here’s how it works.
The Spring Cleaning Event has multiple tiers or rooms. On each tier, the game’s helpful robot companion will randomly identify three sitting in your library that you’ve never touched or haven’t played for a while.
You don’t have to finish these games but if you open them all, you’ll finish that room’s goal and the space will light up. You’ll earn Steam XP for every room you finish and progress towards earning the Steam Spring Cleaning badge.
It’s a neat idea, particularly if you’ve got a hoard of unplayed games waiting for your attention. I know I do.
Despite the Steam Spring Cleaning event not highlighting any particular deals, there are still some bargains to be had on the platform. Here’s the best and cheapest of what’s currently on sale.
