In 2020, the Epic Games Store will undergo its first sale, which is expected to begin on January 13, 2021 and run until January 20th. While it is difficult to predict how many games will be available during the sale, this may be the first time Epic Games has held a sale that spans a full week, as the last sale lasted only four days and was limited to only a few games.
Epic Games Store is the primary distributor for Steam and Epic Games software products in the West and is owned by the Epic Games company. The Epic Games Store is the primary distributor of and only service capable of distributing titles developed by Epic Games. Any Epic Store titles that are not distributed through the Epic Games Store will be effectively ‘unavailable’ in the West, and will likely only be available on third-party services such as Steam and GOG.
Sales at the Epic Games Store are sure to continue in 2021, as the store has carved out its place in the gaming landscape, providing much-needed competition to Valve and Steam.

Here’s Epic Games’ schedule for 2021.
Epic Games Store Spring Sale 2021
Active between: 25. March – 8. April
The Epic Games Store Spring 2021 Sale is the first big opportunity of the year for gamers to buy games at a discount. It started as a traditional sale with small indie games like The Last Campfire and Spiritfarer, as well as big hits like Hitman 3, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Red Dead Redemption 2. The remaining coupons cannot be used this year.
Epic Games Store Mega Sale 2021
Planned activity between: 20. May – 17. June
Why have one big sale a year when you can have several? This will likely remain the basis for the Epic Games Store 2021 mega sale. Last year is proof of that: When you signed up on the site, you received a $10/€10 voucher that you could use for games of $14.99/€14.99 and up. Every time you use your coupon, you automatically get another one, and there should be discounted games too. Last year’s sale began with the donation of a mystery game that turned out to be GTA 5.
Epic Games Store Summer Sale 2021
Planned activity between: 22. July – 5. August
Another smaller sale of the year, the Epic Games Store Summer Sale 2021, probably won’t include coupons, but it will help you get through the summer drought by offering cheap games you may have missed.
Epic Games Store Halloween Sale 2021
Planned activity between: 21. October – 4. November
The Epic Games Store Halloween 2021 sale generally makes the seasonal horror a little more bearable by lowering the prices of non-scary games as well. Of course, if you are looking for horror, you can find it at a lower price than usual.
Epic Games Store Black Friday Sale 2021
Planned activity between: 25. november – 2. december
The Epic Games Store’s Black Friday 2021 sale will likely challenge Steam’s fall sale with its own discounts. It’s valid for a week, so hurry up.
Epic Games Store + The Game Awards 2021 Flash Sale
Activity scheduled to start mid-December
The Epic Games Store + The Game Awards 2020 flash sale was a bit unusual, and when it returns in 2021, it will give gamers one last chance to buy games at a discount before the big Christmas sale ends in December. Award-winning games will be represented (and perhaps devalued), but our crystal ball is having an identity crisis and considers itself a triangle, so we can’t look into it and see if The Last of Us II will win every award out there.
Epic Games Store Holiday Sale 2021
Planned activity between: 16. December – 6. January 2022
The Epic Games Store 2021 Christmas sale, which began in late December, is Epic’s answer to Steam’s winter sale, which offers the biggest discounts of the year and hands out coupons that make games even cheaper. It’s entirely possible that some of the major releases of the year will be discounted, so it’s definitely worth saving some money for this game.
