It's that time of year again for the Epic Games Store. The Epic Mega Sale has begun and publisher Epic is claiming over 1,6000 games and add-ons are available with discounts up to 75 percent off. That includes a handful of recent releases, but that's not all. If the standard discounts aren't enough, Epic Coupons are back and this time they're worth an extra 25 percent off of total purchases $14.99 or over.

In past years, Epic Coupons have been worth $10 USD. Depending on the purchase, a 25 percent coupon could go a much longer way and benefits those who are going big on their shopping carts. While 25 percent of $14.99 is a paltry $3.75, buying multiple games will see that total climb significantly. If you have an Epic Games account, you have one Epic Coupon available for use right now.

What exactly is on sale this year? Epic Games is touting the following major titles, some of which are getting their first big discounts, just to name a few:

• Tiny Tina's Wonderlands - $47.99 (20% off)
• Ghostwire: Tokyo - $39.59 (34% off)
• Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade - $49.69 (29% off)
• Sifu - $31.99 (20% off)
• Far Cry 6 - $29.99 (50% off)

That's not all. As noted by Square Enix on Wednesday, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is getting its first major discount. Along with its console counterparts, which are also on sale, it's available right now from the Epic Games Store for $44.99 (25% off) for the first week of the Epic Mega Sale.

The Epic Mega Sale is underway now, though it should be noted that this week's free game is still not live. The mystery freebie will go live at 8:00 a.m. PT/11:00 a.m. ET, so stay tuned to see what that is. The Epic Mega Sale will last until Thursday, June 16, which should give you plenty of time to find something to buy with those Epic Coupons.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
