Epic Games has been known to offer up a $10 coupon to help promote some kind of event or special occasion within theEpic Games Store. This past Summer Epic Games offered a $10 coupon during its huge Summer Sale that saw over 180 titles go on sale. The previous coupon had the same parameters, meaning it had to be used on games priced at $14.99 or higher, although this coupon was valid for much longer, as it does not expire until October 31. It’s likely some players still have this coupon sitting in their account.
Last year, Epic Games purchased Psyonix and its demolition derby soccer game, and the news of theacquisition did not go over well on Steam. Later, Psyonix announcedRocket Leaugewas going to a free-to-play model and confirmed the inevitable; the game would be leaving Steam. Fortunately, anyone who had already purchased the game on Steam could still play the game and the Steam version ofRocket Leaguewould still receive content updates.
To further celebrateRocket League’smove to the free-to-play model and becoming exclusive to the Epic Games Store on PC, Epic announced acrossover event betweenRocket LeagueandFortnitedubbed the Llama-Rama.
