Once the Epic Games Store came back, the giveaway had changed to the base edition of Death Stranding. Much like the GTA V giveaway in 2020, the huge number of people trying to access the service caused it to overload.

However, it seems the offer proved more popular than expected. The open-world adventure and its all-star cast arrived to critical acclaim-it was PC Gamer's best title of 2020-but the unique gameplay and mechanics mean it's not for everyone, which is why Epic's free giveaway is so appealing there's no need to risk any money on something you might not like.Įpic started off the deal by giving away the more recent Death Stranding Director's Cut. Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding can currently be downloaded and kept forever without costing you a penny, but make sure to move fast if you want a copy, as the sale only lasts a few more hours (until 8 am PT / 11 am ET on December 26).ĭeath Stranding was one of the most hotly anticipated games when released on the PS4 in 2019 (the PC version arrived in 2020). The offer has proved so popular that it temporarily crashed the site's servers. In a nutshell: The Epic Games Store is playing the part of Santa Claus this year by giving away one of the biggest games in recent times.
