It's 20% off, the other discount is for all purchases over £15.

For anyone intending to play AW remastered this is important:
I played through it earlier this year and kept getting the infamous voxel explosion issue along with some physics issues. After I did that it fixed everything 100%.
Shame it's not designed to be run beyond 60fps and without vsync but apart from that the updated version is pretty good overall.
Don't forget to scan the QR codes with your phone as you come across them.

| These bugs seem to be tied to the monitor's refresh rate. Lowering the refresh rate of the main display to 60hz through the Windows display settings and turning VSync on seems to largely alleviate this issue, but some visual bugs may still occur |

Looking at some of the sales available on the EGS at the moment I wouldn't be surprised if the store itself was in trouble.

Oh no I can’t believe the game you can’t physically buy in stores would do extra poorly because nobody knows it even exists…

That's an insane discount, woof. If you were curious about it, now's the time.

This Epic winter sale is really good, Hogwarts for $24, Dead Space $16, Jedi Survivor $23. Good stuff.

Yea but then you are stuck using the epic store and who wants to do that just to save some money?

Moderated wildly
Another example of sales do not always represent the quality of the game!

I don't care. I buy games to play them, not to pick and choose what launcher/platform to be loyal to.

I do, I don't care about which Icon I click when I play a video game, might it be Steam, Gog, epic, or whatever, it is always just a click.

Tim Sweeney looking at the bill for AW2 and then the sales numbers.
Also Tim Sweeney looking at EGS sales in general and bumping the coupon to 33%, to get some life going.
I have to say I dislike Epic, but at 33% off I’ll probably buy a couple games that aren’t on Steam.

I'm fairly new in the PC space, but I browsed the Epic store a couple of times and just feel it being rather pointless and redundant, so I never bothered making an account and getting the client. GoG and Steam have everything I need in terms of games and features.

And? Sales fall off after the first couple weeks for any game. You gotta get more sales somehow.

While I agree with you, it’s well worth collecting the free games each week. There’s supposed to be a total of 17 games given away beginning next week for the Holidays.
You don’t even have to log onto your PC. Just hop on the store on your phone and just claim them.

The average person who isn't paranoid and/or doesn't care if they have to download another launcher.

Jesus I love AW2 but this has bomba written all over it.
A game like Dead Island 2 has barely had sales and came out way earlier this year.
Remedy hopefully got enough money from epic. Guys are always at a mercy to do these shit deals. What’s the play with rockstar for the two max Payne remakes ? Gotta suck dick and sell your soul for a buck.

I haven't got an email yet, they sent out the wrong game?
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Well they funded the game and its marketing but apparently the deal is 50/50 after recouping costs for the previous so it seems they won't be seeing another dime or anything significant from this, 50/50 is such a huge portion, Idk if it was a good deal for them in the end, especially without Steam.

Look while that might be true it's the first and only time I'm giving epic money so let's not care about the details
