Epic Rewards gets a major boost
Epic’s loyalty program has been significantly upgraded, making every purchase on the store and in supported games go further.

– Permanent 20% back in Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys when you use Epic’s payment system.
– Store-wide bonus: a 20% increase in points earned on any purchase made with Epic’s payment system, available through January 8, 2026.
– Points can be redeemed toward future purchases on the Epic Games Store and in participating games via Epic’s payment system.
– Keep an eye on the clock: points expire 25 months after they’re earned.

What this means for your wallet
Combine sale prices with boosted Epic Rewards to effectively lower the cost of current and future purchases. If you regularly pick up games or in-game content, this is essentially a rolling discount that compounds the value of these Deluxe and Ultimate bundles.

Game gifting arrives on Epic Games Store
Another long-awaited feature is live: you can now gift games directly to friends. It’s a smooth system with clear safeguards and timelines.

– Gifts must be accepted within 14 days or they’re automatically refunded to the buyer.
– Recipients can decline a gift, which triggers a refund to the sender.
– If the recipient already owns the game, they can’t accept the gift and it will be refunded to the sender.
– To prevent abuse, gifting isn’t available for free games, pre-purchases, subscriptions, in-game currency, or other consumables.
– Purchasers still earn reward points on eligible gifted purchases during the promotional period, letting you reinvest savings in more games or content.

Smart ways to maximize savings
– Prioritize Deluxe and Ultimate editions with deep cuts to get base games plus expansions for less than buying separately later.
– Make purchases through Epic’s payment system to capture the permanent 20% back in participating games and the store-wide bonus through early 2026.
– Use reward points strategically on future releases, add-ons, or another round of gifts.
– Gift early so friends have time to accept within the 14-day window.
– Check your friend’s library before gifting to avoid duplicate ownership.

With premium editions heavily discounted and Epic Rewards dialed up, the current sale is one of the best opportunities to build out your library, grab complete story expansions, and even spread the savings by gifting games to friends.
