After the absence of a Steam Spring Sale earlier this year, we're happy to report the Steam Summer Sale 2014 has officially begun! This year's sale, which is known as "The Summer Sale & Bonus Summer Adventure", is set to run for 11 days from June 19th until the 30th.
Like other Steam Sales, this year's Summer sale welcomes the return of the 24-hour "Daily Deals", the 8-hour "Flash Sales", and the 8-hour "Community's Choice", all of which provide large, limited-time offers on a number of game titles.
Hundreds and likely thousands of other game titles and downloadable content are also on offer across the Steam Store, so be sure to seek out the games you want as you may still be able to grab yourself a bargain even if they aren't necessarily included in any of the larger deals. Just remember the golden rule, only purchase games or DLC during the larger sales up until the final day on June 30th, as you might end up spending more than you need to!
Like last year's Holiday Sale, Valve are providing extra opportunities for players to receive in-game rewards and content with the newly introduced "Summer Adventure". Crafting the Steam Summer Adventure 2014 badge (previously disguised as the "Mysterious" badge) will reward players with new themed emoticons, backgrounds, and in-game items such as cosmetics, community items. "Team Tokens" are also awarded and will provide point boost bonuses for the Summer Adventure mini-game.

By visiting the Summer Adventure page, players are randomly placed into one of five coloured teams which are made up of their friends and other participating Steam users. By crafting badges, players will receive points which are put towards their team's overall score.
At the end of each day, the total points will be assessed and the team with the highest score will be declared the winner. 30 members of the winning team who contribute points will receive 3 games from their wishlist (for free), while everyone else on the same team will receive two bonus Summer Sale trading cards. Starting on Day 5, 20 member of the second place team will win 2 games from their wishlists, while 10 members of the third place team will win 1 game. Members of runner-up teams will receive a single bonus Summer Sale card for participating.
