Black Friday has arrived early on the Epic Games Store PC marketplace, as the PC storefront is having a major sale with discounts on over 80 different games. Discounts cut as much as 75% off of games on the Epic Games Store, even extending to major new releases like Borderlands 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Buyers looking to pick up a game or a few this holiday shouldn't wait too long, however, as the Epic Games Store Black Friday Sale ends on December 2 at 8:00 am PT.
The high demand exclusive releases are certain to be of the most interest to prospective buyers, and the Epic Games Store Black Friday sale definitely has a few. Red Dead Redemption 2 is discounted 25%, from $59.99 to $47.99 for Black Friday. Borderlands 3 is another big exclusive and is discounted 33%, from $59.99 to $40.19. Note that the Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition, which includes the Season Pass, is also on sale for $80.39. The Season Pass on its own is not on sale. Finally, Metro Exodus, another big Epic exclusive, is discounted to just $19.99.
Ubisoft's catalog of Epic Games Store titles is also discounted for Black Friday, with at least 10 different games on sale. Ubisoft's most popular games of 2019, Rainbow Six Siege and The Division 2, are discounted to $7.99 and $14.99 respectively. Recent releases Anno 1800 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey are on sale for $35.99 and $26.99 respectively. And Ghost Recon fans will be happy, with both Ghost Recon Wildlands and the new Ghost Recon Breakpoint on sale for $29.99.

Indie game fans have a lot to be excited about, too. Afterparty, from the developers of Oxenfree, is discounted to $16.99, which is the same price as John Wick Hex from Bithell Studio. Last year's GOTY darling Celeste is available for just $9.99, and there's even something for horror fans, who can pick up Layers of Fear for just $5.74. Minit is also only $4.99, a small price for a great game. Alternatively, party hosts can pick up all six Jackbox Party Packs on sale, with Jackbox Party Pack 6 down to $22.49.
If there's one criticism to be had about the Epic Games Store Black Friday Sale, it's that the sale itself is a pain to sort through. Clicking on the sale in the Epic Games Store client leads to one big list of games that have been discounted. That's over 80 games organized into two different columns. Shoppers basically have to scroll through the entire thing to see if anything is appealing, and scrolling is never particularly fun. Nevertheless, it's not so much to ask for a great deal.
The Epic Games Store Black Friday Sale is available now and will run through December 2 at 8:00 am PT.
