The Epic Games Store hosts a plethora of sales throughout 2026, complementing Steam’s busy schedule and giving us multiple opportunities to nab the titles on our wishlist for a lower price.
Whether you’re meticulously planning expenses at the start of the year or spontaneously purchase titles when you see them discounted, our expected schedule of Epic Games Store sales for 2026 makes sure you won’t miss any of the promotions set to go live over the coming months.
