:EDIT since people keep on not reading the OP: You can use the coupon if you still have one after the game has been released for a discount to USD$4.99

Shamelessly stealing the instructions from nkahoang as he introduced a lot of us to the Epic Game Store deals in India with Jedi: Fallen Order.

Instructions if you don't already have an Indian account:

  • You will need VPN to India (I have SurfShark and TorGuard. Got both VPNs from ozbargain as well. Any VPN will work).
  • Create another Epic store account for India (if you have gmail, just do what I did: [email protected]). You can't use your main Epic one
  • Checkout, make sure you either use an Indian PayPal account, or a CC that allows international transaction.
  • Login to Epic using your Indian Epic account and install.

You can use the coupon if you still have one after the game has been released for a discount to USD$4.99 which is roughly AUD$6.94. Alternatively you can purchase it without the coupon for USD$14.99 which is roughly AUD$20.84.

As always, purchase at your own risk.

:EDIT: Unconfirmed report that you can change your current account to India and the coupon will transfer.

      During the Mega Sale there was a coupon you would get with every purchase. Please see the bottom part of the OP:

        It´s true.
        I don't know whether to buy "Horizon Zero Dawn ™ Complete Edition" or better buy "STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order" which costs $ 16.49, and applying the coupon of $ 10 would only pay $ 6.49, which game is better?

        • NeggerOfDeals on 06/08/2020 - 14:52

          Apply the coupon to the more expensive game and buy both. You can always buy Horizon further down the road. It's a hard choice since Fallen Order is fantastic and Horizon is too.

        • SmOOvDoGG on 06/08/2020 - 18:10

          Fallen Order is great

          • Singu1arity on 07/08/2020 - 10:18

            @SmOOvDoGG: I haven't played Fallen Order, but I thought Horizon was great.

        • caitsith01 on 07/08/2020 - 12:22

          Horizon is better IMHO. Fallen Order is a pretty Star Wars themed platformer and pretty limited.

  • NFS on 06/08/2020 - 13:56

    Thanks op! I'll give this a try after the game has released! (8th August)

  • Lysander on 06/08/2020 - 14:24

    I think title is misleading.
    Unless you already had an Indian account and a coupon in that account you are unable to use the coupon from your Australian account (and changing back and forth might not work and will be very risky) and you cannot get a coupon now after making a new Indian account.
    So really for virtually everybody the price is $20.84.

    • Scythic on 06/08/2020 - 14:25

      I agree

    • NeggerOfDeals on 06/08/2020 - 14:46

      • Ry009 on 07/08/2020 - 07:07

        You lead with the title the cheaper one first, should be the coupon in brackets.

  • KenDiaMoi on 06/08/2020 - 14:30

    So I can only play this game on the new account?

    • Lysander on 06/08/2020 - 14:44

      Yes.
      Down the line Epic is likely to introduce Family sharing but until then only on that account.

    • dione on 11/08/2020 - 11:15

  • steinmeister on 06/08/2020 - 15:00

    I just bought this but should point out that HZD isn't an EA game so the Origin link trick won't work. Reading the comments from the Jedi: Fallen Order, it looked like you needed to be a) VPNed to India and b) logged into the Indian account in Epic Game Launcher to link to EA Origin, but once done the game could be played via Origin no problem.

    Has anyone played Jedi: Fallen Order through Epic Game store? Can you link the Indian account with your current account, or do you have to be VPN'ed to India AND in the Indian account in order to play?

    Suggest that once this is known/verified, update the description to exclude Origin and clarify how the game can be played.

    • NFS on 06/08/2020 - 15:05

      I purchased Fallen Order via India and this is how I had to go about getting it to work. You only need to create the Epic account with a VPN, everything after that works without the need of a VPN.

      Launch Epic store - Log in as Indian account, launch the game, sign in with your AU Origin, works.
      The annoying thing is that you can't play from Origin unless you are logged in with your Indian Epic account. I.E. You need both clients running to play.

          Hi VictorVE
          I've never played Horizon but I enjoyed Star Wars… but then again I enjoyed most Star Wars games.

          They are both great games, but HZD is bloody awesome.

        • GunnerMcDagget on 06/08/2020 - 16:02
          +1

          As someone who has played through both games I think I can safely say that I don't know. They're both really good.

          I think Hodawn is the better choice though. Only just. It's just such a beautiful and vast game. Even after finishing the main story, I just kept wanting to play. Fallen Order I kind of smashed through in about 10 hours and didn't feel an urge to go back to it. As fun as it was, there just isn't much strong side stuff.

        • steinmeister on 06/08/2020 - 17:31

          Bang for buck HZD is the winner, but if you like Star Wars Fallen Order is probably the best Star Wars game that's ever been made.

      Lol same. I got excited and bought it. Then realised I had a $10 coupon I could have used! Guess I’ll wait for a sale on the mafia remake or death stranding to use it on.

      • masuta on 08/08/2020 - 07:27

    Same comments I made regarding Fallen Order apply here. This will work, but I don't look forward to trying to disconnect my Indian Epic Account from my Origin account. I would only recommend doing this if you're never intending to buy any Origin linked game on your Australian Epic account as I don't think you'll have a fun time trying to get the Indian one disconnected. There is no ability to self-manage the link, so you'd have to get in touch with EA to change this (if they're even willing to change linked accounts).

  • zsccat on 06/08/2020 - 17:49

    Too much effort for my tastes. I already bought it twice on PS4. If it was this price on AU store I'd do it though.

    • chromium on 08/08/2020 - 23:10

      Lol, I bought it twice on PS4 too. Once when it came out and again for the complete edition because it was cheaper than buying the DLC by itself. I actually bought it a 3rd time because it came free with my PS4 Pro, but I sold it because I already had it :)

      After all that I still didn't even end up finishing it!

      • captaincabinets on 08/08/2020 - 23:11

        I bought it once to play on my mates PS4 then let him keep it and bought it again later when I got a Pro. You should really finish the main campaign at least, I think the story is really solid.

    Steps should be updated to reflect the fact that there HZD isn't an Origin game so best option would be to either create an Indian Epic account and buy it that way or just change the region of your Epic account to Indian, buy it, than change it back to your original region.

    • NeggerOfDeals on 06/08/2020 - 20:22

        No. Once you make a purchase it locks to that region.

      • Lysander on 13/08/2020 - 11:51

        And you give Epic notice that you are doing something you more than likely should not be doing.

        • chromium on 13/08/2020 - 11:55

          Yeah, this is surely against the T&C, is much better than pirating it? I guess Epic get a few bob, but then they might ban your account.

          • Lysander on 13/08/2020 - 12:08

            @chromium: Definitely better than pirating.
            It might be against T&Cs but then keep in mind a lot of T&Cs are not law compliant as well and hence not enfirceable.
            Essentially T&Cs are a "wishlist of powers" written by the company.

    I'm a citizen of two countries.

    So I emailed support and said "hey can I just set my location to either of those countries since I live either here or there

    Their response was basically yeah sure you just might have some issues with billing or if the game is enabled when you are set to one location.

    So it sounds like they arent too stressed about VPN circumvention

    There are method to run the game without using epic launcher, you just need to extract the authentication id and password after first run and pass it in to the command prompt or using Steam's add non steam game.
