Can I discount a second game for people who've already bought the first?

I have a game, which a few people have already bought. I'm about to release a second, and I'll bundle it with the first for a discounted price.

I'd like to offer the same discount for the new game to people who have already bought my existing game, so that early adopters aren't discouraged.

Is there a way to do this?

I've yet to do this, and itch works in peculiar ways so I'm not entirely sure if there's something else that needs attention, but: If you click on your profile and go to 'Sales & Bundles' there's an option to set 'Sale Conditions' where you can check 'Must Own XY Game' for the sale to be accessible to them. I would say you'd have to create a sale only for those who bought the other game, and then create another one for the bundle, so that it's be easier for some to buy them both at a discount.

@Studio Sonant, this works for anyone who buys the first game, even after the launch of the second. But it should be close enough to what I wanted.
Thanks!

Itch support just got back to me.

They say to create a Coupon for the second game, with a Membership Requirement set to the first game. This will then show automatically on the second game for anyone who has bought the first game, but not for anyone else.

For reference, I created it using a sale (rather than a coupon) and it looks like it works in basically the same way, right down to a specific URL for the sale.

There doesn't seem to be a way to limit it to people who bought the first game before the release of the second.
