Epic Games Store users can look forward to the platform's upcoming Spring sale, of which many of its heavy hitters have been leaked online. As one of the most prominent PC storefronts next to the likes of Steam and GOG, the Epic Games Store is known to host several big sale events throughout the calendar year, including one during each season and a Mega sale each May.
Over the Holidays, the Epic Games Store hosted an incredible giveaway where it offered users 17 games to claim for free over the course of several weeks. The titles ran the gamut from indies like Cursed to Golf and Art of Rally, to beloved sci-fi RPGs like Fallout 3 and The Outer Worlds. Ghostwire: Tokyo, A Plague Tale: Innocence, and Marvel's acclaimed 2021 Guardians of the Galaxy game were included in the Epic giveaway as well.
While Epic's Spring sale likely won't be giving a collection of titles away for free, it's still an event for gamers to look out for, and according to Dealabs Magazine, many of its highest profile games have just been leaked online. Headlining the sale is one of the industry's largest publishers, Ubisoft. Three of its most recent releases are allegedly set to receive major discounts. Ubisoft's open-world adventure shooter Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which released in the final weeks of 2023 and was the publisher's first-ever $70 game, will be available for just $42. The publisher's impeccable 2D action platformer, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, will be chopped to $30. Additionally, Ubisoft's most recent release, Skull and Bones, will drop to $45 as part of Epic's upcoming sale.
Some of 2023's best games will be discounted during the sale as well, including last year's bestseller Hogwarts Legacyfor $30, Respawn Entertainment's critically acclaimed Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for $31, and Remedy Entertainment's long awaited, Game of the Year-nominated sequel, Alan Wake 2, for $40. Epic's Spring sale will also be home to some of the industry's biggest and best open-world titles in Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Grand Theft Auto 5, the latter of which gamers can nab for just $15.
The Epic Games Store's Spring sale is expected to run for two weeks, beginning on March 14 and ending on March 28. Users of the storefront should keep an eye out for official word from Epic Games in the coming days. Furthermore, Epic's Mega sale is right around the corner in May, which will likely feature an even larger selection of discounted games.

The Epic Games Store recently saw the addition of several older games from EA, including multiple entries from the Need for Speed and Battlefield franchises. Standing as one of the most popular online marketplaces for games, Epic Games has often looked for ways to help its storefront stand out from major competitors like Steam. Epic Games regularly features free games for users to claim through the storefront, often giving away popular games like The Outer Worlds and Fallout: New Vegas. Now, the storefront has added multiple EA games to its lineup.
Each Thursday, the Epic Games Store releases a new free game or two to help round out your collection. Currently, the adorable Metroidvania Islets is available to download until April 4, and two hit games have been confirmed to be hitting the storefront from April 4 until April 11. These are The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition and Thief.
Every Thursday at 10 am CT, the Epic Games Store rotates its free game selection and confirms what will be coming the next week. This means Epic Games Store users can no longer claim Call of the Wild: The Angler or Invincible Presents: Atom Eve, but they can claim Islets until April 4. At that time, Islets will rotate out of EGS and the service will add The Outer Worlds and Thief, two big pick-ups for the service.
The first free Epic Games Store game for April 2024 will be The Outer Worlds, according to a new report from a credible leaker. The critically acclaimed RPG was already free for Epic Games Store users fairly recently, though many might have missed out on that freebie due to the extremely tight window of opportunity to claim it.
Microsoft is embarking on an interesting multiplatform strategy these days, with its previously exclusive first-party titles like Hi-Fi Rush and Pentiment available on PS5 and Nintendo Switch. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has said that the industry shouldn’t rule out any title on other platforms, but he’s also interested in extending that philosophy to other storefronts.

The Epic Games Store free game for March 28 is Islets. While fans can always count on the Epic Games Store to give away free games every Thursday at 10am CT, the giveaways are otherwise fairly inconsistent. There are times when the Epic Games Store gives away one free game, but there are also times when EGS users have two free games to claim.
Epic Games has announced that the Epic Games Store is coming to iOS and Android devices later this year. The Epic Games Store's mobile expansion will allow the storefront to function across all major, non-console platforms.
