Something like Control would have a whole week dedicated to itself, making it worth the publisher's time as they rack up sales from people downloading it free at Epics expense, like GTA, and Borderlands Handsome Jack Collection.

So hold on, they gave me a (all prices in Canadian dollars) $14 coupon for free, and any time I buy a game that's $20.99 or more BEFORE the coupon it will give me another coupon? Unlimited times?

Yes. It's actually kind of crazy. Basically any game that is over $14.99 US / $20.99 CAD is effectively $10 US / $14 CAD cheaper.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 at 1440p ultrawide is incredible. Love the game so much that I could see myself buying it again when it finally releases on Steam. I just wish I had never touched the "HD" best-of game that released in 2012.

So is there any chance bigger games like DS might be one of the free ones? Unsure if I should just wait on some of these until the end of the sale.

I don't think you are quite getting how the sale works.

you buy anything, including the free game you get a coupon.
the coupon works for a discount off games, but only if they are above a certain price. So in your case it seems to be $15 off games over $22.

You buy a game the coupon works on you get another.
you buy a game the coupon doesn't work on you still have the coupon.
Wait I've been reading it wrong??! I swear it said in the T&C's that you'd only get a renewed coupon if your purchase is $22 or higher after discounts/coupons. Is that not true?

Was just about to buy night in the woods so will hold off for now - assume the sale prices are stable until the end of the sale?

that and tropico which I've often wanted to try but never quite enough to jump in - would be great for me

Only game that's sticking out to me is Star Wars: Squadrons. Do I need to be an elite pilot to have fun online? I haven't played a fighter pilot-esque game in quite a while. I know the game has bot matches and some single player missions, I might buy it anyways for those

Awesome!
For those not familiar, you could have grabbed games like GTA V, Civilization VI, Borderlands 1 & 2, Hitman, Watch Dogs 2, Troy or Football Manager 2020 through the weekly free games!
What the hell? I'm not a PC gamer but you never know, I'm creating an amount now lmao

Click on the 'GET MY EPIC COUPON' button. If you don't click on the 'GET MY EPIC COUPON' button, you will automatically receive your first $10 Epic Coupon when you download a free game or make your first purchase during the promotional period. If you already have a $10 Epic Coupon from the Holiday Sale, that coupon will be applied to your next purchase of any eligible game $14.99 or more,, and you'll receive an additional $10 Epic Coupon.

If you use a coupon you get a new one, if you don't have one to start with snag a free game or hit the get the coupon button. There isn't any price limitations aside from what the coupon can be used on and that is games that are a certain amount or more.

Unlike previous sales the coupon will be gone as soon as the sale is done, and it also won't work on preorders or dlc, but aside from that for the next two weeks or so you can go absolutely wild.

The best part about the coupons is Epic pays for them out of pocket (unless this changed but I would assume we would see developer rage if it changed). So the developers still get money based off the price you see before coupon.

I forgot MeatBoy Forever is coming out. I wonder if it will be any good. It comes out during the sale so the coupon should be usable on it.

Darn, just noticed that the voucher expires before hitman 3 comes out, so much for that idea :(

Anyone play the Last Campfire? Looks cute

Yeah i played it on iPad; really good and charming as heck.

Yeah I thought this too, although I'm still thinking of waiting until reviews drop, something about SMBF is just making me wary.

I heard some great impressions about The Pathless. I am also interested in it but i am not sure about the price. I wish it was at least 15-20% off + voucher, would be a nice deal.
Yeah, kinda what I was thinking, I mean I can play it on Apple Arcade for £5 so this still seems pricey to me

Damn, Metro Exodus with all DLC for $12, AC Odyssey Gold for $15... there are some deals here man.

Already grabbed Desperados III and DLC ($20) and Star Wars Squadrons ($14), but these coupons are killing me here!

Yeah see it's that wording of $14.99/$22.99AUD purchase price to get an additional coupon that I was talking about. In the FAQ it states that it has to be the required price after any discounts, so any game that dips below $22.99 won't get me the voucher.

That was my first world problem I notd earlier.

Those deals are crazy. Absolutely puts steam to shame.

Impulse bought ghostrunner soon as the sale went up. That price is a no brainer. Super tempted to get metro exodus gold edition but I have a save from the windows version I'd like to continue (started playing right before it was taken off game pass rip).

Guess that leak from Yesterday was indeed correct.

I'm really tempted to buy DS Elysum for $12.50 CAD for my lap top. I know this is going to be $50 bucks including tax on my Switch. Decisions, decisions

Do you guys have to log in to Epic again every single day to get the games, whether you check to remember or not?

It's getting on my nerves.

How is Crysis Remastered right now?

I have a 2060, and I know they are adding DLSS soon, but it is supposedly a mess right now right?

I bought Immortals Fenix Rising for $30.19 with the coupon, crazy price for a game that came out 1 month ago.

Yeah, I'm seriously considering that one myself.

I did go ahead and bite on Star Wars: Squadrons for $13.99 (coupon), especially now they've added TrackIR support. Time to hook up my HOTAS again.

FYI, Carrion is down to $14.99, which still qualifies it for the coupon, so it's only $4.99. Pretty sweet deal.
