Gamescom is happening right now and the Epic Games Store is looking to take advantage with a massive sale. Rather than choose between naming their sale after Gamescom or PAX West, Epic is simply opting for the more generic "August Event Sale" label. It may be generic, but there's no arguing with discounts on top-level games like Evil Dead: The Game, Sonic Origins, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, Solar Ash, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and many more.
There's another late summer sale kicking off this weekend and it's from the folks at GOG.com. The people at GOG.com are putting over 3,500 games on sale in the GOG Su– no, I'm being told it's simply called the GOG Sale. That's it, just a general GOG Sale. It may not have a flashy name, but it does have a lot of flashy deals on games like Disco Elysium, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story, and No Man's Sky, as well as GOG.com debuts like LEGO DC Super-Villains and Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
Here's our selection of this weekend's PC deals:
