Games Germany Steam Sale 2023 - Enter your game

Games Germany partner up with Steam, organizing a Steam Sale for Games made in Germany in Summer 2023

After last year's great success, Games Germany will bring back a “Made in Germany” Steam Sale this summer! Therefore, we are looking for games from German developers to celebrate their creativity. The Sale is set for the end of June. We want to showcase the vast variety of games made in Germany, so don’t hesitate to apply as long as you are a studio or a publisher with a head office in Germany.

To guarantee a certain quality, the Steam reviews of the submitted games should be at least mostly positive (in individual cases, or if your game is reviewed positively by Steam users but doesn’t have enough reviews to generate a user rating, an exception can be made to this rule).

Each developer is allowed to submit 2 items in total (you’re free to choose if you want to feature already released or upcoming games to generate Wishlist entries; item can refer to your game or bundle). Publishers can submit more than 2 items, as long as they are developed by different devs with a head office in Germany.

To participate in this Steam Sale, please fill out this form by May 12, 2023: https://forms.gle/dCZ4842p46Qcv61F8

Important to know: games that are discounted during this Steam Sale will have a cool-down phase regarding other discounts for 30 days after the end of the sale. This however does not affect participation in the Steam Summer Sale, which is not subject to cool-downs.

Need help finding your app ID?

Go to the Steam page of your game, check the URL. The app ID is included in the URL between app/…/game title, e.g. https://store.steampowered.com/app/XXXXXXX/YourGameTitle/

If you have any further questions, please contact info@games-germany.de.
