Deals worth mulling over
Two digital retailers are offering up 2K titles at cheap prices well before summer sales kick off in earnest. At GamersGate, you’ll find a giant 2K Games sale with discounts up to 82% off on dozens of popular franchises published by 2K, including XCOM, Civilization, Borderlands, and much more. At Green Man Gaming, you’ll find an overlapping Civilization sale with similar discount, so to sort through the barrage of deals we’ve rounded up the best from each retailer below.
The headline for the Civilization series is Civilization VI Deluxe Edition falling to a historic low price of $45. This gets you six additional DLC packs, all of which aren’t really worth buying on an individual level. Also noteworthy are historic low prices on both Civilization: Beyond Earth and its expansion pack Civilization: Beyond Earth: Rising Tide (which makes Civ:BE a significantly better title) at $9 and $15, respectively.
Beyond Civilization goodies, the best-selling titles in the sale are the XCOM series, notably XCOM 2. While 65% off isn’t quite new low price territory, you are still looking at a much more favorable price than its list price of $60.
The GamersGate complete 2K sale is running now through Sunday, May 21 and Green Man Gaming’s Civilization sale runs until Tuesday, May 22.
Note: Games in bold below are at their lowest ever price. The discounts on Civilization VI are running a bit longer until May 30.
