The Xbox Summer Sale 2026 has started with an early teaser promotion offering discounts on more than 300 games. The initial deals are currently intended for Xbox Game Pass members, while the larger public sale is expected to begin on July 15.
Also known as the Xbox Ultimate Game Sale, the promotion covers games for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One. The current selection is only a preview of the full event, so additional games and downloadable content are expected to receive discounts when the main sale opens.
Game Pass members can look for the Ultimate Game Sale Teaser section within the Deals area of the Microsoft Store on an Xbox console. The promotion may not appear immediately for every account or region, so availability could vary during the initial rollout.
The early Xbox Summer Sale includes several discounts of up to 90 percent
Two of the most notable offers revealed so far include The Quarry for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Anniversary Edition.
The Quarry has received a 90 percent discount, bringing its price down to $6.99 in the United States and £6.49 in the United Kingdom. The horror adventure follows a group of camp counsellors attempting to survive a dangerous night, with player decisions affecting which characters live or die.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Anniversary Edition has been reduced by 70 percent. It is available for $29.99 in the United States and £25.49 in the United Kingdom.
| Game | US price | UK price | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Quarry for Xbox Series X and Series S | $6.99 | £6.49 | 90 percent |
| Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Anniversary Edition | $29.99 | £25.49 | 70 percent |
The teaser includes hundreds of other discounts, but the full list may differ depending on region and Game Pass membership. Some games may also receive different prices based on the edition selected.
You should check whether a discounted title is already included with Game Pass before purchasing it. It is also worth comparing standard, deluxe, and complete editions because a larger package may offer better value when downloadable content is included.
The full Summer Sale is expected to add many more games
The current teaser represents only part of the Xbox Summer Sale. The full promotion is expected to begin on July 15 and should introduce a much larger selection of games.
An earlier list linked to the sale included major titles such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Battlefield 6, Borderlands 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Helldivers 2, Silent Hill 2, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition.
However, appearing on an early list does not guarantee a specific discount. Microsoft has not yet revealed the final prices for most of the expected games, and some listings may relate to downloadable content, bundles, or editions that are not sold separately.

Anyone considering a purchase during the teaser may want to wait until the full promotion begins. A game discounted now could remain at the same price, receive a different offer, or appear alongside a better value edition when the complete sale goes live.
Game Pass members receive early access to selected deals
Offering teaser discounts to Game Pass members gives subscribers several days of early access before the wider sale begins. Xbox has used similar promotions in previous years to provide an additional benefit to its subscription service.
The early access period does not appear to include every Summer Sale offer. More than 300 discounted games is a substantial number, but the final event is expected to be much larger.
Microsoft Rewards points and existing Xbox gift card balances can be used toward eligible purchases. Players should also confirm the final checkout price because regional taxes and account specific offers may affect the amount charged.
The Xbox Summer Sale 2026 teaser is available now for eligible Game Pass members. The broader promotion is expected to begin on July 15, bringing more discounts to all Xbox players.
