Discounts on Cyberpunk, Valhalla, Hades, more.
Epic Games is wearing its discount hat again this Thursday, February 11, with an attack on two fronts of events arriving in the form of a live broadcast from the Spring Showcase and a digital sale in the store.
Things start at 7pm in the UK / 11am PT with Epic’s inaugural Spring Showcase, a half-hour Twitch event combining “news and extended looks at some of the games to come this year”. It is probably safe to assume that at least some of them will be exclusive to Epic’s PC store, given that a company representative recently told PC Gamer that he would have “more exclusives coming in the next two years than we’ve published so far”.
At the same time as your showcase begins, Epic will pull the appropriate internet lever to get the Spring Showcase Sale to follow in your store, which will feature discounts of up to 75% on select titles until everything is completed on 25 February.
Aoife Game of the Year 2020 – Hades Switch Gameplay.
So far, Epic has offered 10% off Cyberpunk 2077, 20% off Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, 40% off Star Wars: Squadrons, 50% off Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, plus 40% off discount on Supergiant Games’ Hades – Eurogamer 2020 Game of the year. A complete list of games that receive discounted treatment is now available, but saves are not currently listed.
On a related note, previously leaked dates suggested that Steam will also start its own sale – specifically, its annual Lunar New Year sale – this Thursday, February 11th, so it could be a couple of strong weeks for PC discounts. .
