Epic Games Summer Sale kicks off: 15 can’t-miss game deals

The Epic Games Store is in the middle of its summer sale, which means dramatic discounts on some surprisingly recent releases. Epic has its usual freebies available, which this week include The Elder Scrolls Online (or at least a free trial for this MMO, which will cost you $15 a month to keep playing) and indie whodunnit visual novel Murder by Numbers. But for the real deals, you’ll need to shell out a bit of cash.
