An 'Epic Mega Sale' is live now on the Epic Games Store. Living up to its name, it features games discounted up to 75% from their original prices, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Epic Games is also discounting another $10 off any purchases of $14.99 or more, and they're doing it independently of the game developers and publishers. This works for pre-purchases, too, meaning that Control, Borderlands 3 and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 can be snatched for $49.99, while The Sinking City is priced $38.99.
Furthermore, if you've purchased a game at full price in the last two weeks or so, they'll even refund you the difference. Last but not least, the existing offer of a free game available on the store once every two weeks will be improved to a free game once a week during the Epic Mega Sale. Starting later today, you may redeem Stories Untold.
