Steam Scream Fest 2022

Registration Details

Please read the Steam Scream Fest documentation for complete details on eligibility criteria and the registration process for this event, both for games and in-game events.

There are two ways to participate:

Spooky Games

Eligible spooky games will be sent an email invitation to register and participate as an included game. If you have not received an invitation and believe your game fits the criteria described in the documentation, please check your list of eligible games. If your game is not present and you believe it meets the listed criteria, please contact us here.

Spooky In-game Events

Any game with a spooky in-game event can participate in Steam Scream Fest by selecting "Halloween Event" when creating a new event or announcement in the Steam Events system. There will be an additional review process to confirm the in-game event meets the Halloween Event / Steam Scream Fest eligibility criteria. More information on creating a Halloween Event is available in the Event Type: Halloween documentation.

The Steam Scream Fest event page will have a dedicated section to highlight games with spooky in-game events.

All discounts scheduled to start on or after March 28th are subject to the same 28-day cooldown between discounts. The only exceptions from March 28th onward are the four major Steam seasonal sales. For more details on the discounting rule changes, please see the Discount Rule Changes documentation.
