SALES & DEALS

Epic Games has announced that Overcooked is available for free on Epic Games Store. From today and until June 11th, PC gamers will be able to visit the game’s EGS page and acquire their free copy.
This is a bit surprising as a leaked roadmap hinted at ARK: Survival Evolved being this week’s free game. Not only that, but Overcooked was available for free on Epic Games Store in July 2019.

Dragon Age Inquisition, Need for Speed, and more EA games are now on Steam, and on sale

In October 2019, Electronic Arts announced a new partnership with Valve that would bring EA games to Steam (and in some cases, bring them back). The process began a couple weeks later with the release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but today the first big batch arrived—and they're all on sale, too.
Update: Electronic Arts said this is the first wave of more than 25 games that it has coming to Steam, and that future games developed for PC will also launch on Steam alongside other storefronts, beginning tomorrow with the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection, which will have mod support through the Steam Workshop.

The Black Lives Matter Support Bundle on Itch.io has raised over $43,000 for the Black Lives Matter Foundation and the National Bail Fund Network so far. Hosted by the developers of the action-arcade game StarCrossed, Contigo Games, the bundle includes 20 games from 18 different indie developers. The page's description says that the total amount raised will be split equally between the two organisations.
The Black Lives Matter Support bundle launched earlier this week and raised $5,000 within the first 2 hours, going on to raise $31,000 in the first 24 hours it was live. Contigo Games has since increased the bundle's goal to $45,000 and currently, 1082 people have contributed.

Classic RTS Total Annihilation is free to keep on GOG this weekend
https://www.pcgamer.com/classic-rts-total-annihilation-is-free-on-gog-for-48-hours/
GOG is giving away classic RTS Total Annihilation and its expansions this weekend, letting you take a trip back to 1997, when humans and AI duked it out with hundreds of vehicles and robots.
Total Annihilation was a big leap for the genre when it first appeared, upping the ante with its massive scale, realistic physics and true line of sight. Its legacy might not be as visible as Command & Conquer's, but there have been several attempts to build on it, including Supreme Commander, newly-arrived to the store.
>> And that's not the only free game because once Steam does its daily refresh, the game The Uncertain: Last Quiet Day will be free during the weekend (you may already have it because they already gave it away for free not too long ago): https://store.steampowered.com/app/406970/The_Uncertain_Last_Quiet_Day/

The Humble Store has a new sale featuring 2K with up to 75% discounts during the next 13 days: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/2k-week/
