Save on Dead Space, Hitman, and more during Epic Games Store’s spring sale
Epic Games Store has a spring sales, just a few weeks after Steam wrapped its own. The sale claims to offer discounts of up to 75%, though the price cuts are much less steep for most games. Prices will remain in effect through April 20 at 11:00 AM local time.
We’ll list a small number of games we like below, but we’ll start with the most affordable to pick up. Dying Light: Enhanced Edition is free through April 13, and it’s a great freebie. Spending time in this parkour-enhanced open-world zombie FPS game is a great way to spend a few dozen hours alone or with friends playing co-op.
Here are some other picks that catch our eye from the sale, some of which are reruns of the Steam spring sale.
EA’s remake of the first Empty space isn’t just a next-gen upgrade with up-rezzed textures.

This one usually costs $59.99, but you can get it $47.99.
Hitman world of murder
hitman 3 recently become Hitman world of murder. The name change was a bit confusing, but it makes more sense since IO Interactive now includes all of the maps from assassin, hit man 2And hitman 3 in one package. Plus, it has the new (and really fun) Freelancer mode, which has brought many of us back into the game at Polygon. Normally $69.99, that’s it $34.99.

The less you know encryption before you play it, the better. It’s tempting to say that at its core, Inscryption is a card-building game, but in reality it’s a series of cleverly delivered unexpected left turns that make you as invested in the metafictional story as you are in the gameplay. We liked it enough to award it Game of the Year in 2021. Normally $19.99, this is another insta buy at $11.99.
