As always, Green Man Gaming’s got you covered with massive deals on select titles. Many of the biggest titles of the past year — Resident Evil 2, Mortal Kombat 11, Devil May Cry 5 — are discounted at sizable percentages, as are many other recent hits. Now get in there and save some money! 

(All of the deals below went live on July 17, 2019 and will remain live until August 7, 2019 unless otherwise noted.) 

FPS

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Ultimate Edition

Rainbow Six Siege is easily one of the most influential and widely played competitive FPS games of the current moment, and wave after wave of post-launch content has only bolstered what the game has to offer. Luckily for you, the “Ultimate Edition” includes every operator released over the years, as well as a pass for Year 4 content.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Ultimate Edition will be on sale for 50% off starting on July 24, 2019.


Far Cry: New Dawn

Only a series like Far Cry would have the courage to (spoilers) end one of their mainline games by nuking its map — and then turn around and set its sequel in the post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland that results.

Far Cry: New Dawn will be on sale for 50% off starting on July 24, 2019.


Borderlands: Game of the Year Enhanced Edition

What better way to prepare for the release of FPS-meets-RPG Borderlands 3 this September than to revisit the game that started it all?

Borderlands: Game of the Year Enhanced Edition is on sale for 33% off until July 31, 2019.


Battalion 1944

Battalion 1944 is an FPS that promises to strip away the genre’s most recent conventions and instead hearken back to the shooters of the mid-2000s, no-scoping and all. Players who miss the older, simpler days of the FPS genre shouldn’t miss out.

Battalion 1944 is on sale for 25% off.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering Storm

Civ VI’s second expansion, Gathering Storm, turns Mother Nature into a force of global change; natural phenomena like rising sea levels, erupting volcanoes, and hurricanes threaten any settlement in their paths.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering Storm is on sale for 25% off until July 31, 2019.


Frostpunk

Frostpunk, a game in which you might find yourself choosing to send children to the mines to meet your production goals, isn’t for the faint of heart. The bleak society management game isn’t afraid to pose the player with difficult ethical dilemmas, but it’s immensely satisfying when you can manage a victory.

Frostpunk is on sale for 55% off.

Action-Adventure

Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil 2’s Mr. X is one of the most memorable villains in survival horror game history, and this year’s remake does the indomitable foe justice. Impossible to detain with weapons, Mr. X’s whole conceit is that he is unstoppable, creating creative survival puzzles that revolve around avoiding the terrifying sound of his heavy footsteps. It’s a horror experience like no other.

Resident Evil 2 is on sale for 41% off.


Devil May Cry 5

Capcom’s lovably garish, over-the-top demon-slaying hack-and-slasher Devil May Cry came back earlier this year, and it lives up to the legacy of its predecessors. Wield a motorcycle-chainsaw and rack up style points in this feast for both the eyes and vengeful soul.

Devil May Cry 5 is on sale for 41% off.


HITMAN 2

HITMAN 2 is on sale for 65% off until August 1, 2019.


Just Cause 4

Just Cause 4 might just have the widest toolkit for destruction out of any Just Cause game yet, including grappling hooks, rocket boosters and attachable hot-air balloons.

Just Cause 4 is on sale for 60% off.


Indie

No Man’s Sky

If you have any friends who’ve been playing No Man’s Sky faithfully since the beginning, they’ve probably gushed over the “NEXT” update and insisted that the game is nothing like it used to be. Well, we’re here to confirm that; No Man’s Sky’s “NEXT” was a true game-changer that raised the bar on its base-building and multiplayer elements.

No Man’s Sky is on sale for 57% off until July 31, 2019.


PC Building Simulator

The title says it all. Experience first-hand what it’s like to be a professional computer repairperson in the game’s “career mode” or simply experiment with virtual builds from your wishlist. This is probably the most literal application of the term “metagame” out there.

PC Building Simulator is on sale for 30% off.


Supraland

Supraland is deceptively simple for a game about getting an animated plastic red figurine to the other end of a sandbox. Its frequent moments of discovery, inventive item- and ability-based puzzles, and adorable yet impressively clean art style are all good reasons to check the game out if you haven’t already.

Supraland is on sale for 33% off.

 

Kenshi

Calling Kenshi a sandbox game is an understatement. Kenshi contains all manner of possibility — you can build entire empires out of nothing, resign yourself to a nomadic life in solitude, assemble a gang of adventurers. Either way, Kenshi’s open world invite all choices equally, begging you only to choose a path.

Kenshi is on sale for 20% off.


Iconoclasts

For a 2D platformer about a scrappy mechanic who seeks to upturn a sinister theocratic government, Iconoclasts has a deep story with plenty of twists and turns. You’ll get sucked in as much by the narrative as you will the game’s colorful range of items, which are used for both combat and puzzle-solving.

Iconoclasts is on sale for 40% off.
