Summary
- The Epic Games Store is holding a May the 4th sale with up to 85% off Star Wars games and add-ons.
- Apart from action-based Star Wars games, sales include add-ons for games like The Sims 4 and Star Wars Pinball.
The Epic Games Store is launching a massive May the 4th celebration sale, with a dozen different Star Wars games, bundles, and expansions up for grabs for up to 85 percent off their regular prices. Fans of Star Wars might want to keep an eye on the sale, as Epic Games has teased another special offer that is yet to be fulfilled.
The origins of Star Wars Day, unofficially celebrated annually on May 4 due to the quasi-homophone-based slogan "May the Fourth be with you," traces its origins back to 1979, when the phrase was first documented nearly two years after the original theatrical release of Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope. The first record of an organized celebratory event took place in Canada in 2011, and it has grown into a worldwide phenomenon.

While the sale offers several money-saving deals, one secret that's still under wraps is Epic Games Store's free Star Wars game. An official social media post from April 29 teased a game giveaway with the words "Coming Soon" appearing in a font style similar to Star Wars titles laid over a hyperspace jump sequence, but Epic has yet to reveal what that game will be or when it will be available.
