# Celeste is 75% off on Epic: a $4.99 climb with strong reviews

Celeste’s US Epic Games Store base game is $4.99 through November 2. Here is the verified offer, review context and what to check before buying.

**Summary:**

Epic lists Celeste at $4.99, 75% below its $19.99 price, until November 2, 2026. The highly rated precision platformer is an Epic library purchase, not a Steam key.

**Celeste is $4.99 on the US Epic Games Store, down 75% from $19.99.** The offer was verified on October 29, 2026, and Epic lists its end as November 2 at 16:00 UTC—10:00 a.m. Central Standard Time. This is a paid base-game purchase, not a free weekend or a subscription benefit.

## A small price for a demanding climb

Celeste follows Madeline as she attempts to reach the summit of a mountain. The [developer’s official site](https://www.celestegame.com/) presents that journey as the heart of a carefully constructed platformer from the creators of TowerFall. That makes this a useful deal for players who want a focused adventure rather than another sprawling open world to keep up with.

The attraction is not the discount alone. Epic displays a 4.9/5 player rating and an OpenCritic top-critic average of 92, with 99% of critics recommending it. Those are different measures—store-player feedback and an aggregated critic score—not scores from WUPGames testing.

Jumping, climbing and air-dashing are the core tools. The challenge comes from combining them precisely, and the quick restarts make another attempt part of the rhythm rather than a lengthy interruption. Optional B-side chapters provide a harder path after the main challenges. Players who dislike repeated attempts should weigh that style against the low price: strong ratings do not make a precision platformer the right fit for everyone.

## What this purchase covers

- **Edition:** Celeste base game, sold directly by Epic.
- **Region and currency:** US storefront, $4.99 USD before any applicable checkout tax.
- **Library:** an Epic Games Store purchase, not a Steam key or a Nintendo or PlayStation copy.
- **Compatibility:** Epic lists Windows and macOS requirements; check the current game and launcher requirements for your machine before paying.
- **Deadline:** November 2, 2026, at 16:00 UTC / 10:00 a.m. CST. Confirm the checkout price while the offer remains available.

## Check your library before buying again

The [US Steam listing](https://store.steampowered.com/app/504230/Celeste/?cc=us&l=english) showed $19.99 during our check, so Epic was cheaper among those two PC storefronts. That is a limited comparison, not a claim of a worldwide best price or an all-time low. A lower sticker price also does not move an existing purchase between libraries; someone who already owns the game gains little simply by buying it again elsewhere.

For a new player interested in a challenging, story-led platformer, the combination of a substantial discount and strong reception makes this worth considering. For someone seeking a relaxed game without frequent retries, watching the official footage first is a better decision than treating 75% off as a reason to buy automatically.
