It’s the weekend, which means it’s time for another Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best deals from around the web includes a number of sales for Lunar New Year across video game storefronts. Steam looks to have the most sweeping selection of deals for PC gamers, but the Epic Games Store is running its own sale as well, and some associated with the deals from those promotions are also available at competing stores like GOG and Humble . And on the console side, Microsoft has discounted several Xbox games for the occasion.
In general, these sales aren’t quite as extensive as the ones we saw around the holidays , but they still include several notable discounts on games all of us like. Past Ars game regarding the year winners Psychonauts 2 , Hades , and Celeste are all available with regard to less than their average going rates, as are several of the lesser-hyped gems we recommended during Steam’s summer sale last year. We’ve noted a few more highlights—including deals on Half-Life: Alyx , Untitled Goose Game , and Halo Infinite , among others—below.
End dates for these sales vary, but Steam says its promotion will end on February 3, while Epic says its purchase will wrap up on February 10. If you shop through the latter, note that you can use the $10 coupon offer the company has rolled out for previous sales—but you’ll need to sign up for Epic’s emails and alerts program (or already be signed up) to access it. If you can live with that, you’ll get a coupon that’ll take an additional $10 off the deals already in place, provided your cart totals $14. 99 or more. This means you could get, say, Hades for $6 instead involving its current discounted price of $16. Unlike the Epic sale we saw last month , however, this coupon is one-time use only.
