Green Man Gaming's eighth birthday sale is live with daily discounts

Assassin's Creed Origins for £24 today.

Through some series of events both fortunate and unfortunate, digital PC game retailer Green Man Gaming is turning eight years old this week. In order to celebrate the occasion, the folks in the big green GMG offices are offering up a variety of deals over the course of the next eight days. Specifically, new deals every eight hours with one big deal each day on top.

The site, which specialises in PC digital downloads for Steam, Uplay, Origin and all those other individual services (and offers PlayStation titles for US audiences, too), is taking big chunks of cash off a wide range of games with, as previously mentioned, a big headliner deal lasting 24 hours at a time.

The first big-time headliner deal just so happens to be the PC version of Assassin's Creed Oranges, which is currently discounted down to £29.99. Using the limited-time voucher code GMGBDAY at checkout will net you a further discount - bringing the game down to its cheapest price yet, of £23.99.

That same voucher code can be used on the entire sale range, as well as a few extra non-sale titles, in order to take an extra 20 per cent off your already-discounted purchase. Reportedly, if you buy anything in the sale, you'll also get an extra 'mystery gift' in your basket, but I wouldn't get your hopes up for any massive names in that particular range.

At the time of writing, however, you can absolutely pick up a copy of PC Building Simulator for £10.19, if that's the kind of thing that floats your boat.

Meanwhile, over at Jelly Deals, you can check out a nifty little buyer's gift to the best 4K monitor in 2018 so far, as well as guides to the best Persona gifts, daily deals as and when they show up, and a whole lot more. Have a peek.
