The Steam Summer Sale is over, but that doesn't mean that opportunities to snag cheap games you'll probably never play are over—or free ones, for that matter. The Epic Games Store's 2025 Summer Sale kicked off today with a nice array of deals, a big boost to Epic Rewards, and a very nice freebie to get things started: Civilization 6 Platinum Edition, which includes the base game, the Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm expansions, and six DLC packs.
That's a hell of a deal, to put it bluntly: The Civilization 6 Platinum Edition normally goes for $80 and you can have it for $0 until July 24. This isn't the first time Civ 6 has gone free on Epic, but the last time it happened—in 2020—it was only the base game. So even if you already own it, the Platinum Edition is a not-to-be-missed giveaway. (And yes, you'll still be able to add it to your library even if you already own the base game.)
