Tomorrow is Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year in the United States. Video games across the world will be looking to pick up titles that they may have missed at launch. The Epic Games Store is getting things started early, however. The Epic Game Store Black Friday Sale officially started Thursday, November 26, as an early Thanksgiving gift to game shoppers. There's no rush to by any games, however, as the Epic Games Store Black Friday sale will last through December 3.
This year, the Epic Games Store is promising discounts of up to 75% on dozens of game releases, DLC, and add-ons. Obviously, most games won't be discounted 75%, but they'll range between 10% and 75%. There's no Epic Games Store coupon for this sale event, so the price that users see is the price that they get. Regardless, there're a lot of great deals on new games released in 2020, exclusive Epic Games Store releases, and older classics.
Five particular recent big releases are showcased by Epic as part of the Black Friday Sale. Big games like Watch Dogs Legion have been discounted down 25% from $60 to $45, as has Star Wars Squadrons, discounted 40% from $40 to $24. Another big discount is on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, cut from $40 to $30. There are also a couple of indie games showcased. The Rogue Company: Starter Founder's Pack is just $9.74 and Ghostrunner is discounted 20% down to $24.
There are plenty of other major releases that have been discounted, too. Red Dead Redemption 2 is $40.19 and Grand Theft Auto 5 is just $14.99, two great Rockstar games for less than the full price of a new release. Borderlands 3 is now just $19.79, with its Season Pass also 40% off at a price of $29.99. Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding is now 50% off, dropping down to $29.99. Even the new Mafia: Definitive Edition remaster has been dropped 25% down to $29.99.
Some of the Epic Games Store's biggest PC exclusives are discounted, too. Maneater, the shark game is 40% off at $23.99. Ooblets early access is now $19.99. The World War Z GOTY Edition is 70% off at $13.49. Another big one is the recently released Surgeon Simulator 2, which dropped 10% down to $22.49. It's a great selection of games that can't be bought on PC anywhere else.
There're obviously dozens more games on the Epic Games Store worth checking to see if the price is right. Ubisoft's full PC catalog has been discounted, as has the entire line of Jackbox Party Pack bundles. And as noted, there's no need to rush. Epic Games Store users have a full week, up until December 3, before the sale ends.
