Epic Games Store’s Mega Sale kicks off with a free Dragon Age: Inquisition download

If you’re a PC gamer with time to kill this summer, the Epic Games Store has come through with a chance to scoop up a bunch of titles on the low. In fact, you can take advantage of the Fortnite maker’s “Mega Sale” without spending a single dime. In addition to deep discounts on top games, you’ll be able to scoop up one free game each week from the Epic Games Store through the sale’s June 13th closing date, starting with Dragon Age: Inquisition’s Game of the Year Edition. It comes with all of the game’s three main add-ons, plus the Deluxe Edition’s bonus mounts, gear, and weapons.
Inquisition features developer BioWare’s patented branching storylines, deep action roleplaying combat systems, an open-world structure, and an evolving diplomacy system that has you, as the so-called Inquisitor, making world-changing decisions that your companions and opponents may or may not like. It’s still worth playing all these years later, especially with a new series entrant on the way.
You’ll find many other titles on sale for your coinage in the Epic Games Store Mega Sale, including newer hits like Alan Wake 2 down to $39.99 ($10 off), EA Sports FC 24 for $13.99 ($56 off), and Ubisoft’s online pirating adventure Skull and Bones for $29.99 ($30 off). You can also explore the wizarding world in Hogwarts Legacy for $29.99 ($30 off) and play some of Sony’s best PS4 titles on PC with the likes of God of War ($24.99, $25 off), The Last of Us Part I ($40.19, about $20 off), and Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered ($35.99, $24 off).
If you want the newest iPad Air with M2, it’s going to cost you at least $599 for the 11-inch model. It’s a less impressive upgrade over its predecessor than the well-reviewed iPad Pro, however, and the original still holds up well if you just need a solid tablet that should continue to receive most new iPadOS features for the foreseeable future. You’d get considerable savings, too, as the base M1 iPad Air with 64GB of storage is down to $399 ($200 off) at Amazon and Walmart, a new all-time-low price that beats the previous record by a full $100. The 256GB M1 iPad Air also has a new price record of $599 ($150 off) at Amazon in select colors.
It’s possible Apple or its retail partners will keep the 2022 Air around as a value buy, so maybe this steep discount reflects a pending permanent price cut. Whatever the case, $399 is a fantastic price for the tablet. Compared to the refresh that launched just yesterday, it’s really only missing out on Apple Pencil Pro support, the M2-exclusive Apple Pencil hover feature, and Wi-Fi 6E (but Wi-Fi 6 is still good). There’s also no option to step up to a bigger 13-inch model. Otherwise, it still has more power than most people will likely ever need in a tablet, with its biggest strengths being a beautiful 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, a lightweight profile, and support for the second-gen Apple Pencil and the original Magic Keyboard.

Whether you’re getting the new Pixel 8A or have one of the family’s loftier devices and need a new pair of wireless earbuds, we typically recommend Google’s Pixel Buds Pro, which are down to $139.99 ($60 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, matching the all-time low. The Pixel Buds Pro earn their merit as a very competent pair of earbuds when it comes to common qualities, such as very good sound with solid noise cancellation, long battery life, and reliable connectivity that evaded some older models. You can have an enjoyable listen paired with any phone, but they’re even better if you have a Pixel thanks to exclusive features like spatial audio. Read our review.
The Hatch Restore 2, one of our favorite sleep gadgets, is down to $169.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Hatch, which is only $10 more than the all-time low. Besides the generous assortment of built-in sleep sounds, it features an embedded dot-matrix LED clock and a light that glows just bright enough to keep you from stubbing your toe on the nightstand during midnight bathroom runs. It can also play sunrise alarms that wake you up with gradual gentle sounds designed not to disrupt your circadian rhythm. You can sign up for Hatch Plus ($4.99 a month or $49.99 a year) to add custom unwind routines, music, meditation, sleep guidance, and other exclusive content. Read our review.
Now through May 31st, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X / S, and Nintendo Switch is down to $24.99 ($35 off) at Woot, which is the lowest price we’ve seen so far. The collection includes the most classic games from the stealth ops franchise. You’ll get the first three Metal Gear Solid games that launched on the PS1 and PS2, Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2, and Snake’s Revenge, which is a spiritual, noncanonical successor to the original Metal Gear that was only released in North America for the NES. The disc also packs digital art books, screenplays, cinematic videos, graphic novels, and digital soundtracks to enjoy.
