Not only Steam is planning a sale, but the competitor platform Epic Games Store is also holding a sale: The Epic Mega Sale is live and offers numerous discounts! Even Borderlands 3 is available at a reduced price. We’ll tell you where you can save money and how to get 10€ for free.
Turbulent times for PC players looking for a bargain. After the dates for the Steam Summer Sale were leaked, today the Mega Sale starts at the Epic Games Store.
This is the Mega Sale: The Epic Mega Sale runs in the in-house store for PCs for nearly a month now. You not only get numerous discounts of up to 75%, but also a 10€ discount on all games starting at 14.99€. So in the best case, you only pay 4.99€ for a game!
This is likely another attack on the competitor Steam, which Epic is continually trying to undermine with such promotions. Many games that were originally supposed to be released on Steam are now appearing in the Epic Store as well. Among them is also Borderlands 3.
This is what you can find in the Epic Mega Sale
These discounts are available: Many games are noticeably discounted in the Epic Store. Here’s a selection of games:
- World War Z for 20.53€ instead of 34.99€
- Metro Exodus for 34.99€ instead of 59.99€
- RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures for 9.49€ instead of 29.99€
- Control for 49.99€ instead of 59.99€
- The Walking Dead: The Final Season – Season Pass for 4.99€ instead of 19.99€
You can also save here: Since Epic gives you 10€ for purchasing a game over 14.99€, you effectively receive an additional discount on almost every game.
This also applies to games that don’t even exist yet. If you pre-order Borderlands 3 now, you only pay 49.99€ for the standard edition instead of 59.99€. The other editions are also available at a reduced price of 10€.
This is what is free: You can expect not only a ton of discounts, but also free games. A new game will be added to the shop every week, which you can then download for free.
This week, the game “Stories Untold” kicks things off. After that, a new game will come free to the shop every week.
What is not discounted: You can’t grab everything at a discount. Expansions like DLCs or purchases within games, such as V-Bucks in Fortnite, do not benefit from the Mega Sale.
How long does the Mega Sale last? The Epic offers will run for almost a month now. You can secure the numerous discounts until June 13.
Update May 17, 2 PM: The Epic Mega Sale is plagued by some problems and publishers are pulling their games back:
