Epic Games Store reveals November and December sale dates

Epic's Q4 2026 promotional guide for developers outlines several upcoming sales. The Black Friday: Premium Editions Sale runs from November 17 to December 1. This event focuses on deluxe, gold, and premium versions of games. While publishers can discount standard editions during this time, those games will not appear in the sale's store banners or promotions.

A separate sale called Epic Savings runs from November 12 to November 26. This event covers standard editions, DLC, and add-ons.

Discounts on the store can range from 5% to 95% depending on the publisher. Epic guidelines require publishers to wait at least 30 days between two discounts on the same item. Because of this cooldown, a deluxe edition discounted for Black Friday until December 1 cannot be discounted again until December 31. A standard edition discounted during Epic Savings until November 26 cannot be discounted again before December 26.

The Holiday Sale is scheduled from December 10 to January 7.
