Epic Games Store Gives Away Civilization VI

btarunr · May 22, 2020

On a charm offensive with big game giveaways such as Grand Theft Auto V, and partial refunds for those who missed sales, Epic Games Store is now offering "Sid Meier's Civilization VI" for free. This is a great deal considering that the game is listed on Steam for $59.99 in the U.S. HotHardware reports that EGS has several other fairly new AAA titles lined up for the taking in the coming weeks. The store plans to give away "Borderlands: The Handsome Collection" from May 28, and "Ark Survival: Evolved" in the following week. "Civilization VI is the latest entry in the smash hit turn-based strategy franchise.

Since it doesn't appear to be in the article, here's a link to Civilization VI on the Epic Games Store where you can actually get it.

Yeah I got GTA 5 and then got a $10 off coupon so I got AC Origins and then they emailed me another $10 off coupon.
Yeah I'm happy to take commie games.

If your budget is tight Epic is a nice shot in the arm right now.

This is what we get now. When there are new expansion packs or big DLCs, you get the vanilla content at a steal or free.

Its nice, Epic, but I see what you did there, too.

Not entirely true, though the base game isn't discounted and is sold at $59.99, Civ 6 Platinum frequently goes on sale and even at this moment on sale for $47.04. Considering EGS is selling the Platinum upgrade alone for $39.99 after some quick napkin math shows Steam is really selling Civ 6 for $7.05. I'll say it's a good deal but not a great deal.

I take it back didn't realize the $10 off coupons also apply to DLC.
