The trendy thing to say about pre-ordering in the PC gaming community is "don't do it." But there are plenty that still do it and companies are more than happy to cater with endless pre-order bonus DLC. If you fall into the 'I shouldn't, but I'm going to play Day One anyway' camp, the good news is that there are fairly large discounts available on the Net that can save anywhere between 18% and 26% on upcoming Triple-A games.
The low down is that digital retailer GMG is discounting most titles by 10% after you login or create an account at GMG's online store (they call it a "VIP" price). Once logged in, you'll see the discount price and can enter in voucher code 2017E318OFF at checkout to take an additional 18% off the already reduced price. The final result is Fall 2017 releases at their best prices so far, and possibly ever before their launch dates.
Noteworthy deals in this sale include Bethesda's highly-anticipated Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus for 26% off (Steam key) and Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Origins. We've split the deals below by their release date and discount percentage. Most deals are 26% off, but select titles such as Life is Strange: Before the Storm and Call of Duty: WW2Â are about 18% off in lieu of the bigger discount. Everything listed below is a digital code product to be activated on their respective platform (Steam, Uplay, or Origin).

The sale at GMG is running for about two weeks and will expire on Wednesday, July 19 at 9 AM Pacific. After that point, the coupon code will disappear. While the instant savings have the same expiration date, they may continue after the expiration date as GMG often has pre-order discounts.
