Weekend PC Download Deals for Aug. 9: QuakeCon 2024

Doom has fallen upon everyone again.

2

It's that time of year where PC gamers from all lands converge onto Texas to celebrate the holiest of classic PC games. QuakeCon celebrates all things Quake, along with everything Quake-adjacent like Doom, Fallout, and whatever else Bethesda declares to fall into that category. This year, Steam's QuakeCon sale is one to watch, because it features a lot of bundles from those aforementioned franchises. That includes a pretty cool Doom Classic bundle that includes the newly-released Doom 1+2 remasters.

Elsewhere, Steam is also offering discounts on Half-Life: Alyx and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, as well as offering sales on the best from EA and THQ Nordic. Summer sales from Green Man Gaming and GamesPlanet continue. The Epic Games Store is kicking off an Epic Savings event and also offering the newly released CYGNI: All Guns Blazing for absolutely free. Finally, Humble has a new bundle featuring Capcom's best, while the storefront is selling games to help you chill out.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. 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?
