What can I do with stickers?

After opening your sticker packs, you'll be able to apply the stickers to corresponding pages from your sticker book.

Once you've applied all of the stickers that correspond to a specific page, that page will permanently unlock on your account.

For all of your unlocked pages, you'll be able to customize them any way you want with your extra stickers.

How are the contents of the sticker packs decided?

Packs will contain three stickers associated with one or more pages from the sticker book.

The stickers are assigned randomly, however you will never receive the same sticker twice until you have received them all.

How do I get new stickers?

For each day of the sale, you will have new opportunities to collect more sticker packs.

Explore Your Discovery Queue

You’ll earn one sticker pack per day just by viewing all the items in your daily Steam Discovery Queue.

Complete unique daily quests

Each day new quests will be added, allowing you to earn additional sticker packs. Check your Sticker Book each day to see what new quests are in store.

What if I missed a quest?

Don't worry - missed quests can still be completed at any point during the Steam Summer Sale.

Just go to your Summer Sale progress page and you'll know which ones still need to be completed.

Can I trade for stickers or buy/sell them on the Steam Market?

Stickers and sticker packs can only be earned through the quests available during the Steam Summer sale.

Will my stickers expire?

Once the sale ends, all stickers and sticker packs will expire. Make sure to apply all of your stickers by July 5th @ 10am PST.

Unlocked pages will never expire.

What are trading cards?

Steam Trading Cards are virtual cards earned by buying and playing games on Steam that can be crafted into game badges that grant community rewards.

How do I get the Steam Summer Sale badge?

Once you’ve collected the entire set of special Summer Sale cards, you can craft them into the Summer Sale badge to show off on your profile. From your Badges page, select a ready to craft badge to view its details and click on the blue 'Craft a Badge' button.

What do I get when I craft the badge?

Crafting the Steam Summer Sale badge earns you an Steam emoticon and profile background. All rewards are tradable and marketable. Collecting and crafting another set of cards will level up your badge and earn you even more items. Each time you craft a badge your Steam level will also increase.

And the foil badge?

Crafting the foil Steam Summer Sale badge earns you extra Steam Level XP, plus an emoticon and profile background.

What is unique to this badge?

During the sale there is no limit to the number of times you can upgrade this badge. The Steam Summer Sale badge will drop a set of one emoticon and background each time you craft a new level.

Once the sale ends, the cards will expire. Make sure to trade and craft your badges before July 5th @ 10am PST.

How do I get Steam Summer Sale trading cards?

Steam Summer Sale trading cards are only available during the Steam Summer Sale. There are five ways to get the cards:

Craft a game badge

Starting last week, crafting a game badge earned you a Steam Summer Sale trading card, so if you crafted a badge in the last week you’re already on your way. During the sale, each game badge you craft will get you an additional Steam Summer Sale trading card.

Make a purchase

As an extra reward for purchasing, every $10 USD spent during the sale will net a Steam Summer Sale trading card. From your Steam Summer Sale badge page select “How do I get more cards?” to track your purchasing progress.

Explore Your Discovery Queue

If you’re Steam Level 5 and above, you’ll get a Steam Summer Sale trading card once you view all the items in your daily Steam Discovery Queue. You can continue and go through your Discovery Queue two more times each day to get a maximum of three card drops each day. (If you reach Steam Level 5 before the end of the sale, you’ll be granted the cards you earned by exploring your Steam Discovery Queue during the sale).

Trade for them

That’s why they’re called trading cards! Find friends with other cards and make trades. Your Steam Summer Sale badge page shows which friends have the cards you need.

Buy them from the Community Market

Sell the cards you don’t need and buy the ones you do, all with other Community members. Turn those duplicate cards into Steam Wallet funds to buy games.
