its in the wrapping paper of next item. Tomorrows is showing radiation symbol, so fallout is a good guess, but any post apocalyptic game could be it like stalker.

I guess it could also be Chernobylite

I'm happy with Lego Builder's Journey - game looked neat when it launched and I think it's something I'll at least give a shot. Versus a lot of other free games on Epic and Twitch/Amazon Games that have been meh or already something I've owned/played.

I expected a Fallout game, but 3 of them being free is pretty nice!

I hope its Metro Exodus. It has a next gen update.

Exodus would be nice, but I can see them just giving away both 2033 Redux and Last Light Redux again.

Metro Last Light Redux (it's a repeat)
I saw on Twitter that tomorrow's game will be Death Stranding

So today's game is indeed Death Stranding, but I'm unable to claim it. It says it's unavailable.

edit: From what I've been reading, they originally had the Director's Cut version of the game for free but have since changed it to the standard version. And it's showing as unavailable for a lot of people.

edit 2: I was able to claim it by logging in to the Epic Games website, not through the desktop app thingy.

edit 3: The game doesn't actually show in my library, but if I try to claim it again it says I already have it.

I saw a headline that said that today's Epic game was so good that it was crashing the store, so that's likely the issues you were having @PizzaTheHutt
I chuckled at the 'so good' line since I still fully expect the game to suck and am VERY unlikely to ever play it.
I did get it just ~10 mins ago and had no issues, it also auto-included 3 add-ons and I see it in my library as the game and then the 3 Add-Ons in another single listing.

Very excited for the rumored game for tomorrow: F.I.S.T. Forged In Shadow Torch - at least that was what I saw on SlickDeals. I'll install that one asap if it's correct.

There is a decent game listed for free on GoG as well with ~12 hours left there, some title called Greak: Memories of Azur

Make sure you don't have filters enabled in library that are hiding it. That was the case for me.

I managed to "buy" it when it still showed the Director's Cut. Now, I have the base game and the add on content, but the store listing still shows I can buy the game. When I tried, just to make sure I really had it, it gives an error that I already own the game, like you describe. I suspect you have it, but the library view needs refreshing or filters turned off.

Here’s your reminder that F.I.S.T. Is today’s game

A leaker says the free games for tomorrow and Wednesday are

As for Thursday's game, he claims it's from a "really good franchise" and doesn't want to spoil it.

I waffled when this was $15 for a physical copy for Switch and PS last week, but didn't bite. So this was a nice redemption.

Ironically - if I knew it was $15 physical on switch last week, I would have jumped at that

As confirmed by the leak, today's game is in fact Severed Steel.

Based on the preview for tomorrow, I'd say they are correct on both counts. Thursday sounds exciting!

What's coming in the next couple days?

PizzaTheHutt wrote:


@DemonAlcohol Just anticipation of what it could be!

Mortal Shell is tomorrow

I'm not sure why the leaker is against leaking Thursday's game surprise. It's the same leaker that leaks the PS+ games every month.

PizzaTheHutt wrote:

If I had to guess, it's something unexpected. Perhaps a newer release, like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. The PC port of God of War would be awesome, but it's highly unlikely.

It's fun to speculate

I'm guessing/hoping it's Kingdom Hearts. They've been Epic exclusive on PC, at WAY too high a price point. for a while now. If they give the first bundle away, it might spike sales on the rest. And the fact that they haven't been on freebie before might be why the leaker doesn't want to say.

Good guess, I'd be all for the first collection.

Dont forget the free add-on for Mortal Shell today

Didn't realize Mortal Shell was a repeat. The Rotting Christ DLC is new though.

Does anyone have any idea what tomorrow could be? I'm a bit stumped by the hint. Maybe Bayonetta?

Frank wrote:

Definitely something dishonored, image

That mark on the paper is from dishonored

Hmm good to know. Hopefully it's Dishonored Death of an Outsider. Dishonored has been free in the past, and a GOG copy of Dishonored 2 is currently free on Prime Gaming.

I wonder when Mortal Shell was free in the past - I very rarely miss them and didn't already have MS. Any idea @Frank?

Hm. I didn't have 'Mortal Shell' yet either, despite having never (I thought) missed a freebie.

I didn't have it yet either.

Same, and to my knowledge I have never missed one.

Looks like it was actually included in an Epic Games Humble Bundle back in February. So this is the first time it was free directly through Epic though

Has anyone made sure to redeem every free game since the beginning? If so, I'd like to start a Google doc for fun!

Edit: Found one
https://gamerant.com/epic-games-store-free-games-l...

I think I've only missed like 1-3 over the years, but have played very few of my large list of them.
Thanks for the list Frank, I think I've seen that page before, wish it was in a better format like a Google Doc or just a huge table for them all.

I went ahead and made one.

I also grouped repeats next to each other. If you notice any repeats I missed, let me know! I'm going to link it in my BIO page on here

Looks like my initial guess was correct. The final game is Dishonored Definitive Edition

https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/dishonored-def...

Eximius: Seize the Frontline is also free.

Frank wrote:

Wonder why the guy leaked the earlier games but not Dishonored. While certainly a fine freebie and good game, it's nothing super special.
