SALES & DEALS

Bad North: Jotunn Edition is this week's Epic Games Store freebie
https://www.pcgamer.com/bad-north-jotunn-edition-is-this-weeks-epic-games-store-freebie/
Half-Life: Alyx, finally unveiled today by Valve, will be free for everyone who owns the Index VR headset. But what if you don't own an Index VR headset? For the next seven days, you can get Bad North: Jotunn Edition for free from the Epic Games Store instead.
>> And the next one will be Rayman Legends.

Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Outer Worlds are on sale in the Humble Store Fall Sale
https://www.pcgamer.com/red-dead-redemption-2-and-the-outer-worlds-are-on-sale-in-the-humble-store-fall-sale/
When the Humble Store announced that it's made Serial Cleaner free for the next three days to mark the start of its Fall Sale, my first question was, "What is Serial Cleaner?" But then I realized that the answer is, "It's free," and I was immediately satisfied.
With that off my mind, I dove into the sale and was surprised to find that Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Outer Worlds are both on sale. They caught my eye because they're both relatively new (RDR2 has only been out for a couple of weeks) and, as far as I know, big hits. They're not massively marked down—$48 for RDR2 (20 percent) and $45 for Outer Worlds (25 percent)—but any kind of cut this soon after release feels odd. Or is it just me? Note: the sale provides keys for the Epic Store version of both games.

Fanatical didn't want to wait any longer and has started their Black Friday Sale, with 1696 deals and an extra 10% discount with the code <BLACK10. Some of the deals are of the Flash kind, and they'll only last 24 hours, so don't forget to check it out daily!<
