October is always the best time of the year for horror lovers as it’s the perfect moment to celebrate and binge wonderfully scary movies and video games. The month is also ripe with heavy discounts on horror gems, and the Epic Games store Halloween sale 2023 start date has possibly leaked. Assuming the leak is accurate, you will be able to splash the cash very shortly.

Away from sales, October is always full of Halloween events for multiplayer video games. The DBD Haunted By Daylight festivity is ready to begin, meanwhile, Call of Duty Warzone and Modern Warfare 2 are celebrating The Haunting. Destiny 2’s Festival of the Lost is also available, and Fortnitemares has seen the arrival of an Alan Wake map.

All multiplayer events are exciting, but it’s always the sales that truly have us grinning from ear to ear.

Is there an Epic Games store Halloween sale 2023?

There will be an Epic Games Halloween sale for October 2023. It’s an annual tradition for the store, and last year’s celebration of All Hallows Eve saw discounts of up to 75% off. Some of the games offered last year included Evil Dead, Dying Light 2, Back 4 Blood, Days Gone, World War Z, and dozens more. In addition to horror games, the offerings also include titles that don’t fully fit into the horror genre.

Discounts for several hit games have also been confirmed, including Remnant II, Dead Island 2, and Killing Floor 2, which means you’ll have plenty of options to choose from. But while it can be tempting to spend all of your money at once, you should be mindful that the Steam Halloween sale 2023 start date is confirmed for next week. So, instead of rushing into a purchase, you may wish to wait and see if a discount is cheaper on Steam than Epic Games.

Epic Games store Halloween sale 2023 start date

The Epic Games store Halloween sale 2023 start date is October 18th. This was confirmed courtesy of Epic Games’ announcement, which also claims the bargains will begin at 8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET / 4 pm BST. Several high-profile games will be available at a significantly lower price during this time, so make sure to grab them while you can!

In other sales, Diablo 4 is currently 25% off until November. With the release of Season 2, this makes it the perfect time to jump into hell and start slaying demons if you haven’t already. Another horror treat is the Dead Space Remake, joining Xbox Game Pass in October 2023 through EA Play. It’s possible Dead Space will be included in the EGS discounts, but a Game Pass membership will allow you to experience the terror at no added cost.

What games are included in the Epic Games Store Halloween sale?

Keep in mind that these aren’t the only games involved in the sale because these are only the highlights. There are plenty of other discounts to be found on the Epic Games Store, including a 67% discount on Alan Wake Remastered and a 66% discount on Alien: Isolation.
