Get it on Epic Games Store →Epic Games has launched its End of Summer Sale, discounting roughly 2,656 items across its PC storefront from September 3 through September 17, 2026, the company announced. It is the digital equivalent of a seasonal clearance event, only with fewer dented cardboard boxes and significantly more digital monsters.
Under the hood of the promotion, Epic is offering a standard 5% cashback on all purchases through its Epic Rewards program, according to the storefront's announcement. The sale comes during the typical September transition period when back-to-school routines compete with digital backlogs.
While the storefront previously experimented with giveaways, like when NoRush! – Tower Edition was free to keep on PC, this event focuses purely on scaling down the prices of established blockbusters.
The details
With thousands of items on the table, the sale represents Epic’s latest push to draw PC users away from rival launchers. Whether players are looking to build theme parks or survive psychological horror, the storefront is hoping a price cut and a sliver of cashback are enough to make them click the checkout button.
