Epic Games Store Holiday Sale Highlights

Christmas is approaching and that means the digital storefronts are ready to offer you some great games at low prices. While our minds tend to jump to the Steam Winter Sale, there are some amazing deals going on right now over at the Epic Games Store. Typically, Steam users will swear by that platform for a plethora of reasons, but those individuals stand to miss out on some key price drops in Epic’s Holiday sale.

Here are some of the biggest sales to consider! It’s worthy to note that, in addition to these sales, Epic is giving away a free game each day for 24 hours, starting with Cities: Skylines on the 17th. Plus, there’s a free coupon for everyone: $10 off games $14.99 and over, so bear that in mind to these upcoming prices!

Borderlands 3 – $19.79 (regularly $59.99)

As a fanatic of the franchise, my time with Borderlands 3 was cherished as I had an absolute blast at launch in 2019. I came back to the game a few months ago to catch up on the outstanding DLC content and it was still a joy. The third installment is just as packed with content as the previous entries, with dozens of hours of gameplay in your campaign. There are four compelling vault hunters to take on though, so quadruple that playtime if you want the full experience. It’s a steal at $10 with the coupon!

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – $17.99 (regularly $59.99)

This deal is one I personally took the plunge on. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is touted as a master-class in open-world RPG’s and a return to form for the Ubisoft franchise that suffered a rough patch in the middle of the 2010s. Another game that’s bang-for-your-buck in length, howlongtobeat.com denotes that the title takes 42 hours to beat without doing a single side quest, which doubles your playtime if you go for all of those. It’s a testament to how much time your $7.99 (with coupon) can buy you!

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order – $23.99 (regularly $59.99)

When Disney bought the Star Wars franchise and subsequently shut down LucasArts’ gaming division, a disturbance in the force was felt. Two entries in the Battlefront series under-delivered, but Jedi: Fallen Order was a welcome surprise. This RPG takes some of the best elements of Uncharted and Dark Souls and expands on the Star Wars lore tastefully in a gorgeous title with dynamic worlds. At $14 with the coupon, it’s a no-brainer not only for Star Wars fans but fans of damn good games.

Rogue Legacy 2 – $17.99 (regularly $19.99)

If you want to shell out a few bones for a game that’s only going to get better, then opt for Cellar Door Games’ Rogue Legacy 2. This Roguelite expects you to die but rewards you for starting anew with upgrades after you die. With “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews in the past 2 weeks on Steam, (an absolute rarity for Early Access games), you’re investing in a title with a bright future in a genre that keeps you coming back. At a paltry $7.99 with the coupon, you’ll help improve a worthy game that’s already a blast to play.
