Epic Games store promotion knocks $10 off a $15 spend

The Epic Games store is currently running a promotion which gets you $10 off when you buy any game costing at least $14.99.

The discount varies depending on where you live — in the UK, for example, you’ll get £10 off any title priced £13.99 or above – and it’s valid until June 13.

The promotion coincides with the launch of a sale offering up to 75 per cent off various titles on the Epic Games store, and the $10/£10 discount is valid on sale items if they meet the minimum qualifying spend.

It’s only valid on full games, so can’t be used on DLC packs, season passes or in-game purchases, including V-bucks in Fortnite.

The discount is automatically applied and only works once per Epic account. See more info and full T&Cs here.

Players who purchased a title from the Epic Games store between May 2 and the start of the sale will automatically be refunded the difference between what they paid and what they would have paid during the promotion.

And players who’ve pre-purchased unreleased games that meet the promotion’s minimum spend requirement will automatically receive a $10/£10 refund to the payment method they used. Refunds should be received in 7-12 days.

Adventure game Stories Untold is also currently free to download from the Epic Games store until May 30.

The deal is the latest in the store’s bi-monthly free game offer, which launched alongside the digital distribution platform in December 2018.

Epic announced today that Tequila Works’ puzzle adventure game Rime will replace Stories Untold as the free game offering at the end of May

The company said in March that its store’s user base had grown to over 85 million PC players since launching as a rival to Steam in December 2018. The Epic Games store reportedly launched under the radar in China earlier this week.
