Black Friday is upon us in full force, and that means pretty much every digital storefront you care to name is having a big sale. The Epic Games Store is no exception, and for Black Friday it's once again brought back the Epic Coupon, which applies an automatic discount to every purchase you make. And this time, it's jacked up that discount amount to an impressive 33% off.
Epic's sales don't typically offer discounts on individual games that are as deep as those seen on Steam or GOG, both of which have their own seasonal sales currently underway. Instead, it throws in an across-the-board «digital coupon» that applies to eligible purchases (games, but not DLC or in-game items or currency) that cost $14.99 (or your local equivalent) or more. Everybody gets the coupon, and it automatically renews after use—it's effectively a standing discount for the duration of the sale.
In the past, Epic's coupons have granted 25% off, but for this Black Friday sale it's been pumped up to a 33% discount. That makes Epic the place to shop for at least some games. Payday 3, for instance, is 20% off in Steam's ongoing Autumn Sale, but not on sale at all on Epic—but the coupon knocks 33% off the regular price, making it a cheaper proposition. Starship Troopers: Extermination is 25% off on both storefronts, but Epic's coupon cuts another 33% off that, so again, it's cheaper. You get the idea.
It's not a universal win for Epic. Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is regular price on the Epic Games Store, but 75% off on Steam and GOG—obviously one of those storefronts is the place to pick that one up. And in some cases it's just too close to call: Remnant 2 is 30% off on Steam right now, which makes it very slightly pricier than Epic, but you might find it worth an extra buck or two so you can add on to your Steam achievement collection.
Epic has also boosted its Epic Rewards program: It normally gives customers 5% of their eligible purchases back in the form of «rewards» that can be put toward future purchases, but for the duration of the Black Friday sale that's been increased to 10%. So if you buy a $50 game, you'll get a $5 credit you can put toward your next purchase.
Ultimately, unless you're committed to using one storefront only and prices be damned, it means you'll need to do a little more digging to ensure you're getting the best bottom-line deal. But particularly for newer releases like, say, The Talos Principle 2, which isn't on sale on Steam or Epic (and which I mention because I am very much enjoying it), you'll get 33% off the regular price if you buy it on the Epic Store, making it roughly $20, and then a $2 kickback to blow on something else. All told, that's not nothing.

2023 has been a busy year where new game releases are concerned, and the last few months have been doubly so, which means you may not have found the time to play all the games that you may have wanted to. If Alan Wake 2 was among them, the acclaimed survival horror title is currently being sold at a discounted rate on PC.
Dell S2722DGM | 27-inch | 165Hz | 1440p | VA | $299.99$199.99 at Dell (save $100) Our favorite overall gaming monitor is the pricey, ultrawide 34" Alienware QD-OLED, but our top 1440p pick is this good old fashioned 16:9 display from Dell. It was discounted to $250 over the summer, and now it's down to $200. A great pick for a midrange build.
The Steam Autumn Sale is well underway, offering steep discounts on everything from the biggest blockbusters to the quaintest indies until next week on November 28. Arguably the best thing about the discount fest, though, is that our 24 favorite Metroidvanias are on sale for as low as $2.
Razer BlackShark V2 Gaming Headset | $99.99 $59.99 at Amazon ($40 off)Simply the best wired headset you can buy. It sounds great and has a simple, functional, and incredibly comfortable design. Even at full price these cans are worth it, so this is one sweet-sounding deal.

With the holiday season now in full swing, there's a pretty nice freebie available on the Epic Games Store: Deliver Us Mars. The sci-fi adventure game is a direct sequel to 2018's Deliver Us the Moon, taking place around ten years after the events that unfolded in the original game. Humans are closer than ever to extinction on Earth, and only a daring mission to the Red Planet to recover the ARK colony ships can change the fate of humankind.
This charming platformer starring everyone's favorite sponge just got a big discount for its content-packed collector's edition.
