The Epic Games Store has kicked off its new Summer Sale, which will run from today, July 17, to the end of the month on July 31, and while it'll feature a number of solid deals, its best deal is probably the fact that you can grab Sid Meier's Civilization VI for free.
Not just the base game for Civilization VI, mind you, but the Platinum Edition of the game, which includes its six DLC packs and two expansions. It's everything under the sun that's Civilization VI related, and the perfect deal for anyone who was perhaps unsure about jumping into Civilization VII.
It was made available for free starting today, July 17, and will only be available to grab until next week on July 24 at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST. So make sure to redeem it at some point in the week before then, to add it to your library and ensure you can download and play it through the Epic Games Store at any time in the future.
When it comes to what's not free on the EGS, some of the more notable deals include Red Dead Redemption 2 being 75% off and Cyberpunk 2077 being 60% off. Cyberpunk 2077 also recently got yet another significant update from CD Projekt RED, making it once again another good time to jump into the game if you've not yet played it.
There are also a few notable games that came out this year that are on sale, like Blades of Fire on sale for 20% off, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on sale for 10% off.
