The Year of the Horse has arrived, and Microsoft is celebrating with one of its most aggressive digital storefront updates in recent memory. The Xbox Lunar New Year Sale 2026 is officially live, bringing historical low prices to over 1,000 titles across Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. From now until late February, gamers can secure massive discounts on blockbuster hits like Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and Red Dead Redemption 2, alongside a curated list of over 50 acclaimed titles slashed by a staggering 90-95%.

Massive Savings on Open-World Juggernauts

For players who haven't yet explored Night City or the American frontier, this sale offers the perfect entry point. The headline deal is undoubtedly Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, which includes the critically acclaimed Phantom Liberty expansion. It is currently available for $39.99 (50% off). This package has become a benchmark for current-gen visuals on Series X, making this price point a steal for dozens of hours of high-octane RPG gameplay.

Rockstar Games is also participating with a steep price cut on the Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition. Usually retailing for nearly $100, the premium version of Arthur Morgan's saga is down to just $19.99 (80% off). This edition includes exclusive story mode content and bonus items for online play, marking one of the lowest prices we have ever seen for the definitive western experience.

First Major Discounts on 2025's Biggest Shooters

It is rare to see steep discounts on major franchise releases so soon after launch, but the 2026 Lunar New Year sale delivers for FPS fans. Both Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Battlefield 6 have received their first significant price cuts, dropping by 35% to $45.49. If you held off during the holiday season, now is the time to jump in.

Microsoft's own first-party lineup is also seeing hefty reductions. The Outer Worlds 2, Obsidian's satirical sci-fi RPG, is discounted by 30% to $48.99, while the recently released The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered—which breathed new life into the Cyrodiil classic earlier this year—is 20% off at $39.99. These deals signal Microsoft's willingness to discount even its newest catalog additions to drive Game Pass engagement and digital sales.

Unbeatable Gems Under $10

While the blockbusters grab the headlines, the real value for bargain hunters lies in the deep-discount bin. This sale features a special "Lunar Savings" collection where over 50 games are discounted by 90% to 95%. Standout deals include:

  • It Takes Two – $7.99 (80% off)
  • Hogwarts Legacy: Digital Deluxe Edition – $11.99 (85% off)
  • Star Wars Outlaws – $20.99 (70% off)
  • Batman: Arkham Collection – $8.99 (85% off)

For horror fans, the remake of Silent Hill 2 is seeing a strong 50% discount, bringing it down to $34.99. Meanwhile, the visually stunning Death Stranding Director’s Cut is available for just $19.99.

When Does the Xbox Lunar New Year Sale End?

According to the official Microsoft Store listing, the Xbox Lunar New Year Sale 2026 ends on February 25, 2026. This gives players just under a week remaining to take advantage of these offers. However, Microsoft often rotates "Daily Deals" during these events, so it is worth checking the dashboard daily for flash sales that might not be listed in the main catalog.

Whether you are looking to catch up on the backlog with Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition ($23.99) or grab a multiplayer hit like Gears 5 for the price of a lunch ($14.99), this sale provides plenty of reasons to fire up your console. Remember to check your "Just for You" offers section on the dashboard, as Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass Ultimate members may find additional personalized discounts stacked on top of these sale prices.
