Civ 6 up for free on Epic

Just the base game. The Platinum Edition upgrade is €40 (30 with voucher), which seems a bit steep.

Still, there's probably more than enough in the base game to keep me going

This is a bit confusing - shows up in the library with a "1 DLC" indicator, and the launcher just has one DLC available.

So maybe it does include some older DLC? I don't have time to check in more detail now.

Based on the version number in the main menu (1.0.1.501) it includes the May 2020 update DeSelby83 mentioned

When I purchased it it said "Aztec DLC ready to Install".

I always do it through the launcher and found I had to search for it as it wasn't on the front page. Just had the Mystery Game picture still and clicking didn't bring me to the game

Weird, I did it through the Epic launcher too and I didn't see that DLC message - might have missed it though.

I did see it in the main page on the launcher though. Weird.


It does include Aztec as a starting civ, but looks like that was a gated pre-order exclusive that was released to everyone after 3 months.

Doesn't appear to include any other DLC, only ruleset available is "Standard Rules" , and don't see any of the other DLC civs as starting options.

Still, free Civ!

Just tried clicking on the "New Frontier Pass" DLC in the Civ 6 launcher to see what that is - it brings me to the 2K store and an error saying it can't find the product description. From googling, it seems to be a new set of DLCs to be release over the next year, elements of some require additional existing expansions. Bit weird though that that's the only DLC you can buy through the launcher.

Bought the Assassins creed Odyssey Ultimate for €24 last night. -67% off the purchase plus another tenner off from epics voucher. Steal of a price.

I was pondering on just getting the standard edition, with the voucher I can have that for €9.79, what's stopping me is I'm stuck into the Witcher III atm and wouldn't have the time to dedicate to both. Maybe at some point though when there's similar deals on.

Just a note on Maneater, I was able to use my voucher to purchase it but I just didn't really like the game, played 1.5hs and was already a bit bored. So I applied for refund, and it was accepted as I played less than 2hrs. Thankfully my voucher was also returned.

Don't forget that the Gold and Ultimate Editions of Odyssey come with AC:III Remastered as well as all the dlc. The additional cost is worth it.

Hmmm, that does sound nice, I need to clear some time before diving into another epic sized game though. The W3 is just so time consuming

AC III was not a fun game by any stretch either. Almost as bad as Unity

The base game isn't the best AC has to offer, it's dlc which is included is great though.

I think you just answered your own question. If it was free, great go for it. Seeing as it's extra .....

It's double the price to get the extras, so if AC III isn't all that it's a bit wasted for me. I'll wait a while either way as like I say, the Witcher already takes up a lot of my time. If I wasn't stuck into that I'd definitely give Odyssey a try

Gamepass has me ruined. Normally I'd snap up Doom for that price but now I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before I get it for nothing.

yeah I ordered Days Gone and Death Stranding delivered for €47 which is a great price for both

I don't think ACIII is any extra - it's included with the Season Pass. The Season Pass has about 40-50 hours of extra content for Odyssey, and the ACIII and AC: Liberation games are just nice extras. I think the Ultimate vs Gold is just extra weapons/exp boosts etc
